Love can also be relative. You have been together for so long that you barely have anything else to compare with.
The thing that I see is that he's not able to provide you with the love that you are looking for. Now my question is, is his love sufficient? Because if you want to continue this relationship in hopes that he will change, then you will probably be waiting forever. Because if he hasn't changed by now, what makes you think he will change if you give another 7 years? Then another 7 years after that?
If he is what you want, then accept his feelings for what they are. If it is not enough for you, then you might want to reconsider this relationship to see if you can find what you are looking for. A break up now is not as bad as a divorce later. You don't want to wake up one day 10 years later, realizing that what he is giving you is not enough for as a life partner.
