Its your starter for sure. Have you tried giving it a few taps with a hammer before starting it???
Obviously because your car has not been started in a while your batt will be almost dead, so even if it was a relay or fuse, your car would not start anyway!!!
What you can do it open up the solinoide and file down the rough bits and clean it right up might give you a few more starts before it packs in.

Ive been driving my car everyday, i have been bridging a wire from the constant power to the switch pin on the solenoid. Thats what makes me believe that its not a starter issue, i could be wrong
