As others have already said, stop thinking this is your fault and that you have to take something to fix the problem. Your hubby might just be going through something he's not quite able or ready to deal with, stress at work or about his job, money - who knows!
Communication is the key to a solid, lasting relationship. Trust me, I'm coming up on my 31st Anniversary, and my DH and I have been through a lot together!
Just avoid coming across as pushing him to talk, or nagging. Men hate that and won't respond. At the same time, stand your own ground and let him know you're there for him and ready to listen, whenever he's ready to open up. Be patient, but not a doormat.
Hang in there. I hope this is just a temporary situation for you.
