Desperate for male advice on my situation

I could write an essay but I will try and keep this as short as possible.

Me and my OH (not married) have been together for almost five years. We had a child 16 months ago. We have always got along well with the normal disagreements that are part of parcel of relationships, but nothing too major.

Anyway, go back to my pregnancy and due to my sleep problems and inability to sleep with a bump I moved to the spare room (now 19 months back).

Our child only started to sleep through at night when he was 13 months old (so - only 12 weeks back). It was tough as I was feeding him in the night and we were both tired a lot of the time. My OH provides a lot financially and provides a great standard of living but I don't get much from him emotionally. He jusr isn't really like that.

Getting to the point, our relationship has got worse and worse since our child was born (problems started whilst I was pg actually). We disagreee on a lot and have little relationship other than being like housemates. We tried counselling a few times until my partner decided it wasn't working as he felt they were just a money making scheme and not really bothered about helping us.

He has told me he sees no future for us but then does nothing to act on it. I live in what is his house and only work part time with now having a child so it isn't easy for me to just up and leave.

We are 'intimate' around once a month and I always feel that it lightens him up. Last night being one occasion. This morning he was a lot friendlier and actually made eye contact and the anomosity that is prevalent in our relationships seems to dissipate somewhat.

I am sure I have left out a lot of relavant detail but I really don't know what to do. I have been fighting for what seems like a long time to hold our little family together and some days I think it could work but some days I feel it's never going to work and I should just rent a place somewhere and show him I have some self respect.

Any thoughts guys? :scratchhead:
