Unfortunately, this seems to be a common problem in relationships. I want to first start by saying that it is not your fault. You said it yourself, these things happen in relationships.
It is not okay for him to be calling you unattractive, especially if it is just to hurt you to make you leave him alone. However, could you be a little more sensitive to his feelings as well? Throwing yourself at him probably isn't the best method. In my experience, people are a little more likely to want want isn't so easy to get!
Although it sounds like he isn't receptive to talking about it, perhaps it is time to really sit him down and express the seriousness of the situation. Try to find out why he is much more uninterested and untangle the problem together. Express how much it hurts you not only physically, but emotionally as well. Maybe you can get to the bottom of it, or open up possibilities for change.
You expressed that you knew that sex isn't everything in a relationship. However, communication is one thing that is key!
