Marriage

I think being with my husband is slowly killing me. For half a year now, he has pushed me away and shut me out. I understand that he was going through a rough patch, but marriage is about letting your partner help you carry the weight. He refused. I was a glorified roomate to him, and by throwing everything into this relationship and trying to be the rock for him, i completely lost my self. I no longer recognize the women in the mirror. On top of it, he made fun of my body, and over sexualized me constantly. I still hold love for him, but i no longer am in love with him. I want to leave. But I'm not heartless. I dont want to hurt him even though staying has been killing me. I can barely eat. My body aches and I'm constantly tired from stress. I have bags under my eyes. My acne is flaring up. And im constantly getting dizzy and lightheaded. I truly dont know what to do. I've told him all this and he keeps saying he wants to fix it and he'll do better and hes sorry. But when we're together, he just sits there on his phone. The most i get it a few hand rubs or something of the sorts. And quite frankly, his touch now pisses me off. I just want to move on. But this is my first ever super serious relationship. We have a house together. Animals. Its been almost 7 years. I know relationships aren't always going to be 50/50, but it's been 100/0 for so long. I just cant do it anymore. I feel suffocated and like I'm constantly running out of breathe. What do i do
