Do I leave I am really scared

Long story short
been with my man for a year we live together and he provides everything for me
i gave up my life for him, but if I did walk away I could go back to my old job and lifestyle so finance isn’t a issue we got no kids together and I’m free and independent

I do love my partner but he’s so cold towards me
when ever I question him he just shuts me down never wants to talk
he only takes it seriously when I say I’m leaving and promises to change but never does

he literally works all the time which is fair enough he’s a entrepreneur and his life is his work
but we see each other a few hours on a evening not even that and he just falls asleep
we barely have sex only when we wants
lucky to have it once a week

he wasn’t like this before considering he still did the same job and responsibilities
but he’s gone so cold so quickly
if we had been married years I get it the spark can die
but after a year I don’t see this normal
i am still the same
i would love to have sex daily if possible

he never wants to kiss me he only kisses me when we have sex
its really gone boring
i feel like he’s turning into more a father figure or a family figure than a partner

he never wants to do anything I find myself doing stuff alone
a day out with him is going up the supermarket shopping
i don’t know what to do anymore
im tired of moaning i probley sound like a grumpy
old hag
every night I’m just awake alone watching tv like as we speak and he’s asleep by 8pm
im starting to think if life would be better alone
i need some excitement im a very social person and have a lot of friends and a really different life before I met him
i am scared to leave because I do love him but he can be really set in his ways and talk to me so horribly and selfish
i do everything for him
cook
clean
iron
I really have become a sit in housewife but I don’t think deep down I deserve this or am I being selfish
I am only 38
all I want is abit of affection but I can’t tell him he said that’s how he is and to deal with it

You're his maid. That's all.

Thanks everyone for your responses
i spoke to him this evening and it turnt into me crying as always and him falling asleep ignoring me
i said it’s better we call it a day
same old crap he tries to hug me I love u and ends the conversation and sleeps
i was crying and said you make me feel unwanted you barely have time for me it just ain’t working out
he goes work at 6am comes home by 5pm we eat than he falls asleep by 7 8pm
before we would always be up all night laughing an joking I know he’s got a job to commit to but I do everything for him and I feel at the end of the pile
he always goes back on his words and promises and makes me feel bad like he’s working for us, if I was here or not it would still be the same he’s a workaholic owns businesses and your always be second best to him
he just can’t offer me the relationship I want

anyway he’s just shouted at me to be quiet I’m giving him a headache because I’m expressing how I feel
said I’m paranoid and just gone to sleep
how he can just sleep I do not know
i remember the days we use to argue and he would be coming in the spare room to get me and not being able to sleep till we made up
theres no fight in him anymore
oh we’ll be will have a shock when I pack and fly back to my country and leave
this time I won’t be returning when he calls me to say he’s made a mistake and will change

thank you all
