Some options I can think of:

1. Stop working that much. Maybe he will notice. If he does, it would be a good way of starting the discussion.

2. Make him feel guilty. (Though this would be a bit mean)

3. Be open to him about how you feel and that you don't enjoy working anymore. Don't demand anything, just tell him how you feel.

If either of these approaches would work I can't say. You have to see for yourself if they fit your situation.

The first option I tried (not by choice), when I was for 1-2 months doing only the essentials to keep in running. This was like 8 months ago when we had another big dispute (told around the end of the main story), and he didn't say a word.
What was his justification to demand you to work more? He must have something, right?
Well he never demanded me to work more. I spent those 1-2 months barely working because we had serious issues. When we resolved them, and I decided to just think of him, as I said, as lucky early investor, I started working again. The thing is, I DO love the company and I think it can be very big.
