Hi,
Not sure what to tell you, because I don't see a real problem for you to end with your partner. Ok, he cannot say the "L" word (I love you), but doesn't mean he doesn't. I know few men that have difficulty saying those words, being affectionate, expressing their feelings, talking about feelings, etc. Women love to cuddle, and many men refuse to do so. It's just who they are. Maybe it's his personality, maybe they way he was raised, family matters, who knows??
I know you've been with your partner for a while, so try to talk to him. Tell him how you feel. Hopefully he will understand you, and make some efforts to change his behavior towards you. What I am trying to say is, before you make any decisions, give your boyfriend a chance.
If this is who he is you, his personality, he cannot change overnight.
Good luck

it's not a matter of " should ", it's a matter of can you ? Can you handle it ? How long ?
In the long run it's very painful to be in love with someone who does not love you back, it's like getting a slight punch in your mouth evey day ,... not too hard, you can bear it... but eventually ,day in day out, your front teeth are going to be knocked off anyway.

If you love someone and they only like you, then you are selling yourself short. You will never be completely happy. You deserve to be with someone who can give everything, not just 75 percent. I wouldn't want to be with someone who didn't truly love me, it wouldn't be enough.
