Thinking I want to be single at 32

Bit of a background - I have a dp of 8 years and dc who is 5. For the past 5 years there has been no affection, no sex nothing. We are more friends and we have a great relationship in that sense. But I'm thinking more each day how I can't spend the rest of my life like this unhappy and unloved.
But the flip side I am absolutely terrified! I have a good job with reasonable income no debts so that side I am settled but it's the home, how dc will cope, I worry about dp as I know he doesn't want that.
My head is so messed up and confused

Firstly, Only you know whether you should leave your relationship or not. No intimacy for five years? That’s rough. Whats the reason for your this? What’s happened in your relationship? Anything you can get help for? Is there acknowledgment of issues on your DP side?

I was in your situation at 30 and decided I didn’t want to waste my life on a sexless relationship. I plucked up the courage to end it, kissed a couple of frogs and now been happily married to a bloke who fancies the pants off me. Don’t settle!!

@minniemouseshouses no real reason he just doesn't think about sex apparently. We've tried help as in doctors and counselling and nothing has changed.
