AIBU to want more?

Conversation with OH led on to the fact that we've not been out for dinner together since before the children were born 7 yrs ago.
It was my birthday last month and I had no card or present. (Normal)

I had booked us a weekend away (with children of course because I wanted to be with them) - I organised and paid for it.

Last year we had one evening out together when I bought us theatre tickets (he hates the theatre but kindly obliged as I really wanted to go).

We had three days away together last year as our family holiday. He struggles to get away because of his job.
I took the children away for 5 short holidays/ weekends away on my own. Again completely normal.

If I raised this with him he'd blame me (everything is always my fault) he'd say I was moaning at him.

He makes no effort to be attractive to me, I try and take some pride in myself and my appearance.

I'm the main breadwinner and my hard work affords is a very nice life with no money worries.he also works hard but it's more a lifestyle career.

I long for an evening not spent looking at our respective phones - I try and make conversation but it fades to nothing. We've not been to bed at the same time for years.

AIBU to want more from a life partner?

Hi OP... what exactly are you getting from this relationship/arrangement?

I also feel I need / want more. This isolation is making me realise that. Thanks for you op.
