You have no kids with this guy so leaving him would be easier than if you shared children. However, if you do want to try to make it work tell him you're booking a cruise for the both of you. This is a good way to get some time away together without exacerbating your back injury. You just may have to skip some of the shore excursions. If he won't even consider that then revert to the first part of this answer. It really sounds like he married you for the household labor rather than out of any real desire to share his life with you.

Take all the money you can get your hands on and leave the house with all the belongings you can take with you. Gather all important papers and take them with you, such as the papers for the purchase of the house. Hire an attorney and file for a divorce. Move on with your life and never talk with your husband again. Your marriage can't be saved because he will not change and he doesn't want the marriage to work. He doesn't love you nor does he like you. Have the house appraised so you'll know the value of the house when it's sold and you and your soon to be ex-husband can split the profits or he can buy you out as each of you own half the value of the house equally. Stay away from your husband during the divorce and don't respond to anything he tells you. Don't bug your attorney as your attorney will tell you what and when to do anything to keep the divorce progressing. The rest of your life will be yours and you can direct the future and how you'll live your life. Just do it and never look back.

D I V O R C E . Your expectations of what this marriage would be are not what you got. BUT didn't you know that or at least suspect it BEFORE you got married? I doubt he has changed that much in his interests or work ethics since you first met.
If you have a back injury aren't you entitled to some sort of Social Security support, given his low working hours? Disability Allowance or something? That might help out financially, and perhaps you can see if it would be enough for ONE person to live on.

He works 3 hours a day and you don't mention you working for wages. And you're injured. So it is $$ that prevents you from picking up the phone and hiring in help? Because, otherwise, why AREN'T you doing that?
Looking for another partner while still living with and wed to your husband strongly suggests that who ever you find won't have a bit more respect for marriage than the partner you already have. I'd not suggest that as your best move at all.
I suggest going to your local community college and find out what sort of job training courses they have that you could fulfill with your bad back. You're going to need an income in order to make any sort of move.
Make a list of chores, tell your husband to choose an equal share. Post the responsibilities on the fridge.
