Do I have enough of a reason to leave?

I [f27] have been with my current partner [m32] for two years. We have not been intimate in 8 months, had 7-8 serious conversations of how it affects me but the dry spell continues. My partner [m32] is also reluctant to leave the house and do shared activities, I can sometime get dinner and a movie. Before getting into a relationship I was a very active person, seeing friends 2-4 times a week, going on several mile walks at least twice a week. I have tried to continue a healthy active lifestyle but my partner is a major homebody so it’s been hard. He is the bread winner and takes care of me financially, I do work but he pays most of the bills. He is still very kind to me, buying flowers every few months, ordering dinner once a week when I’m tired. We can laugh and joke around but we don’t speak a lot. He plays a lot of online games and I’m largely ignored. I’ve come to a breaking point. About a month ago I broke down and plainly said I was unhappy and gave concrete reasons and what I need to change. Nothing has changed. We’ve had the same conversation over and over. I really like him as a person, it’d be great if we were friends.

Is this just how relationships are? am I being ungrateful? Will I regret leaving a good stable guy for passion and connection ?

**TL;DR;** : my boyfriend doesn’t want to be intimate with me or go out and do things. Is this enough of a reason to break up After 8 months?
