ps - could the disappearance of her libido be caused by some medical condition or by side effects of medication? E.g. antidepressants, contraception etc... If this was the case, then consulting her doctor should help, too...

I agree with SeriousSam. In the best case, maybe a counselling or couple therapy could help... If your wife thinks that marriage implies celibacy, it is a bad warning signal. And SeriousSam is right that it can be a form of passive aggression. "She is not ready for sex"...OK, if a 15-year-old girl told me she was not ready for sex, it would be just natural, but if it is said by a married woman to her man, then it is just a silly phrase used for other reasons.

My sister who knows this and is very close to both of us has given us the advice to stay away from  each other for a short time but we can't do this for our child as his studies will suffer but she had gone to her mother for eight days and wil be returning soon will after that my problem will be solved

This is actually a relationship problem.  Though someones sexual relationship will in general reflect the rest of their relationship.

Basically it's a passive aggressive way of doing the emotional version of hitting someone upside the head.  It also allows someone to create a situation of more emotional tension where the other person may make more "mistakes" that allows the passive aggressive person to further justify continuing their behavior.

Get counseling and secretly start checking out attorneys.  In her head she is already divorcing you.  From the time this starts you statistically have roughly around 6 months to a year before separation unless you guys get help.  Also start logging all time with your child be the main one picking him up from daycare and load photo albums with pictures of you and your son.  If you are lucky as a guy with a son you have a small chance of getting either 50/50 or even custody if you are careful.
