My boyfriend has been a lot less affectionate with me lately. We rarely have sex, he doesn't seem to have anything to talk to me about - but really he just doesn't make the effort to. 

We had an argument, then heart to heart where I said how I was feeling. He said sorry, said he feels bad and loves me (all the other right things). But 2 days later and it's right back to where we were again. I'm tired and emotionally drained. It doesn't seem to affect him at all and he makes no effort to rectify situations where I'm obviously upset. We live together, but I'm starting to think I'd feel a lot less lonely if I was alone. Anyone else experience this feeling?

Sorry this is happening. How long have you been dating? How long have you lived together?

How long has he been checked out like this?

Stop talking at him about your feelings. You need to take action. 

Talking about feelings means you want him to change but the only person you can change is you. He's just tuning you out.

Are either of you interested in someone else? 

Are you in a rut? Be out of the house much more. Stay busy with friends, family, groups, clubs, sports, volunteer, get a side hustle, etc.

What exactly is the reason you live together? Convenience? Economic necessity? What are your plans/goals?
