Hello, and thank you for sharing your question. I'm sorry to hear about these relationship troubles you are experiencing. I'd love to give you some advice on the matter.
First of all, do not take it personally. There are four things I think are causing a low libido in your boyfriend that are not related to you personally.
First, stress is a big one. I know it sounds like a cop-out since you've hear it from his mouth so many times. However real, chronic stress can have a huge impact on libido. Lowering stress is specific for each person. Lowering or even eliminating stress in your boyfriends life will take some investigation as to what it causing it.
Secondly, you did not mention if he takes any medications, but medications can lower libido considerably. If he is taking strong medications perhaps you should look into their side effects.
Thirdly, low testosterone; this cannot be wished away because it is physical change, not a change in psychological desire. Hormone therapy can increase testosterone.
Finally, low dopamine causes a low libido as well. There are several routes you can take for treating this. You can ask your doctor about testing and treatments.
I hope this information gives you a starting point to finding solutions.
