You said he's wrapped up in a business he started... is it possible that he's working hard on this new business for the benefit of his family? Starting a new business is very hard and time consuming. That's no excuse for ignoring or mistreating you, but marriage is about sticking with someone through the good and the bad times.

As far as getting him to listen and care, try to stay positive, and try to make plans for you guys to do stuff you used to enjoy doing together before you started having trouble. Like maybe going out to eat or to a movie. Try to be supportive of his endeavors. I always feel closer to my wife after we've spent time alone together, going out on "dates" with my wife every now and then helps too.
