Even if you think this guy is the “love of your life” it is clear that he doesn't feel the same about you. He doesn't respect the fact that you have no interest in “spicing things up”
Think about what life will be like if you stay with him and this just continues. Your life will be very difficult. You deserve to be happy, and you deserve to be treated with respect. He is not being honest with you about his intentions and you have to be clear that this is not what you want.
I would be very surprised if someone like this could ever change, so even though it is painful you need to let him go. I have been married for almost 40 years and though my life is not always exciting, it is so nice to have someone who loves me for who I am and doesn't demand I do things that I am uncomfortable with. It is possible to find someone who will treat you right.
yeah i know…
