Is there any possibility that you can come to 100% acceptance that he simply can't fulfill this role you deeply desire he would? Never ask him again. See it as that ship has sailed.

If so, it could give you incredible freedom. You can look to yourself to get those needs met. Go out for dinner or lunch by yourself. Afterwards, go for a walk in nature, a local park, community gardens, whatever turns your crank. Go browse in a mall.

You could plan events for yourself that you truly enjoy. This time of year there are usually craft fairs going on that are often fun to go browse thru. Other times of year, there could be wellness shows or other community events.
Join meetup and see what topics you might enjoy doing with others. You would be surprised at the variety of meetup groups. Something for everyone. Even something as simple as a small group walk.

This would give your husband his freedom from constantly being asked to do what he simply doesn't have in him to give. But more importantly, it frees you of the burden of trying to get another to meet your needs.

And that is incredibly rewarding.
