The problem is I dont think I am in love with him anymore! I do love him but feel as if we are just going throught the motions, I feel lonely confused and very mixed up. He works away so I feel as if I am a single parent and anyway when he is home he does not wont to get up in the morning and then when I go to bed he stays up and watches telly.We have 2 children and a dog and when I ask if he can take the dog out for a walk with the children he is allways saying "in a minute". He is only here for 4 days a month when the children are at school and allways promises to take them to school but all I seem to do is shout at him to get up and then the children say "never mind mummy you can take us".Please help me to work out what to do for the best i dont wont to hurt anybody?

Say everything you just said in your question to him.
You say you love him. If he still loves you, you'll need to *work* to make the feelings return (and you'll BOTH need to want this).
4 Days a month? You two (he) may need to work out career sacrifices. Is he military? Truck driver? He may need to ask himself to place you first. You obviously care about him, and if he cares for you he'll make the changes necessary.
In any case, best of luck!
