Is there any hope for this relationship?

Long story short, a very good friend of mine sent me a variety of texts last night basically saying he never gets laid anymore, has not in his physical current home (been about a year), and says he's not sure why married, etc. This is very rare for him to open up or complain about anything really. He's a very successful engineer and great friend, teammate, etc.--giving almost to a fault.
Anyway, I've know both of them an their families since middle school, they got married senior year of college, they've only slept with each other (as far as I know), been married about 10 years. I don't live in the same state and never have since they've been married so I don't know their day-to-day but seems like they're pretty distant the last few years. They have had a lot of trouble getting pregnant and spent a lot of money for no baby. She was adopted and apparently had a really shitty life until about 8 or 9 when she hit the jackpot in terms of families (very wealthy family). She carries a lot of issues.
If she's done with sex, he's not, and the love is seemingly gone, is there any hope? I know the answer but want perspective. I know this happens all the time but it's hard to see with close friends. I'm planning to talk to him this evening and want to be helpful, instead of the usual dick jokes and booze/strip club/prostitute solutions.

Sounds to me like they are simply married.

See a psychiatrist. If that don't work. Move on.
Sorry for your troubles dude.

Probably not. Every relationship has rough patches though. When it stops being a "patch" and more of the norm then there is no hope.

Not in my opinion.

They need to talk it out

Sounds like they either never realized or forgot that loving someone is not something that just "happens", it's a willful act you either choose to do or not do. It takes work and if they're willing to put in the work that goes into a loving marriage it can work, if they're not willing to do it then the marriage is done, simple as that.

Sounds like marriage

I know a girl in the same situation. Very cute girl and her husband has little to no interest in her. She'll walk around the house naked (which is not like her at all) just to try and get his attention, but he hardly even notices. They do have a kid and that's the big reason she doesn't want to leave him. She really likes the guy, but now she's seriously wondering if he is gay.

She needs her toes sucked.

Let me make sure that I'm reading this right. It's been a year since they have had sex? Something seems seriously wrong.
