Is it time for me to go?

Been living with my SO for a little over a year. For the past 8 weeks or so it seems I can feel us drifiting apart. He works nights, I work days. He works 6 days a week so we only get to see each other on Sundays. Of course when we first got together is was great. We wanted to talk all the time and be near one another all the time. Our relationship has had its ups and downs and it just seems that awesome feeling we once had is gone. Truth is, I still have it for him but he no longer has it for me. He told me this once back in December. It really hurt and I wondered about leaving then but Christmas was only a few days away. Since then he's apologized for the statement and half a*s took it back. I told him I thought it would be best if I get my own place to give us space or whatever we needed. He asked me not to. He asked me not to let go. I told him that I needed something to hang on to. Many things seem to be changing. Our thoughts on life, love, family, what an honestly happy relationship looks like, what it requires, etc. use to be identical. He told me yesterday that he thinks we see things differently. For example, 6 days a week we don't go to bed together because of our conflicting work schedules. On Sunday nights I look forward to going to bed with him. He has started not coming to bed with me every Sunday. Sometimes he will, sometimes he will play games or watch TV or whatever he does. That hurts my feelings because it tells me that my feelings for him and his for me are different. He says if we're just going to bed to sleep why does it matter if we go to bed together. I just stopped talking about it. I saw quickly he wouldn't get my point and I didn't want to fight. He talks about our future together as if we'll be together always so it's confusing sometimes. He says he wants to marry me one day, have a baby, etc. He has has all the right words but his actions are not there at all. I recently had a talk with him and told him that I no longer feel important or special where our relationship is concerned. He surprised me for lunch a few days later and said we would be doing this a lot more often. That was a week ago. Today we are already back to barely speaking because he's "too busy" for me while he is at work. I get that we don't get paid to work but he use to make time on breaks, lunch, etc. He's always "too busy" anymore. But he's not to busy for Facebook. I love him and he is a good man. He is good to my children as well. I am becoming less happy with each passing day. I can sense it in him as well. Yet when I talk with him he has all those right words. So I guess I need some imput. How do you know when you're hanging on to nothing and you need to let go or you need to keep hanging on because it's just a rough spot?
