I’m afraid my relationship of 5 years has run it’s course.

People are very quick to jump to divorce; it’s sad. I say first thing is to ask him about this in different ways. Ask politely. Tell him you see his actions and ask him why. Ask if he’s depressed, or if he’s focused on something else. I would honestly be very straight up with him to try and find some answers. From there, once you figure it out there’s a possibility of working on things together if that’s what you want. Couples counseling, counseling for him solely, etc.

Then again, if you get no answers or anything of the sort try bringing up divorce or give an ultimatum. Then you’ll see some actual emotion and hopefully some answers. Maybe in the long run he just doesn’t wanna fix his problem, and divorce is in fact the best choice. But people are So quick to skip trying to work things out.. just my opinion.
