What should I do? My partner doesn't want to be part of my whole life..

What should I do? My partner of 2 years doesn't want to be more involved with my life, I have 2 kids.

Tldr: I'm in a relationship with a man who doesn't want to be any more involved with my kids or family life, do I stay or call it a day?

This might be long, also first reddit post ever and on a phone. I (31F) have 2 children 6&8 years old. I 'coparent' with their dad and it has been tough but I'm managing that part of my life just fine now. I met my current partner (31M) almost 2 years ago, we took it slow and careful but fell deeply in love and really connected on many levels. He has helped with my self confidence etc etc.. Overall he is a lovely guy and he cares for me deeply. The thing is, he doesn't want kids, he doesn't want to be a dad or stepdad or be involved in any of my parenting duties or family life. He want to see me when he can (week on week off at the moment) and we talk most days. He doesn't want to commit to anything else and I'm struggling with wanting a bit more, a bit more commitment, security, having a feeling that he wants to be part of my whole life, not just a little part of me that he gets. He is kind and caring, he struggles with depression and social anxiety (except online gaming, he has no friends).. he isn't a bad person. I just don't know whether to stay and be okay with compromising my want/need for a bit more security and looking to the future and building a life together. Or to call it a day and face the reality that we want different things... Any insight to relationships like this working/not working would be welcome.

Thanks 💓
