I can only say that in my humble opinion it will only get worse, not better, so yes, I think it's a choice between an intimate relationship and a sexually fulfilling life with some other partner or staying with this partner for his other fine qualities. But I don't think sex is just sex, it's also intimacy, it's a basic human need, and if he's not having sex with you, he's also not intimate with you, and he's not fulfilling your basic human need to be touched. Supposing that you spend a couple of decades trying to get him to change, and he will not, because he is who he is, and then you will feel you are too old to begin another relationship. In reality, so long as you still breathe, you are never too old to begin another relationship, but it feels harder as you age. So, here's the thing, do you want to have a complete relationship, or do you want to settle for spending your life with a really good friend who you admire? Because, marriage includes intimacy.
