    Yeah I’d rather bet that he is kinda emotionally disconnected from anything happening with her (and himself).

    So she probably never feels supported, tried to talk about, didn’t work, finally divorced him but loves him too much to actually go through with it.

      Maybe.

      That said, my SO is similar to this. We don’t talk as much as we should, but that seems to be because they got into online gaming with their friends and play during the times we would normally hang out. I’m expected to go out of my way to make up for that, but I don’t need as much emotional contact as they do so I don’t. I’m usually just hanging out on the bed on my own, and I put down my phone, game, book, etc the moment they initiate.

      This causes some issues occasionally, but I don’t think I’m the cause here. We have kids, and I end up interacting with them more to make more time for them to play (I make breakfast and get them ready for bed).

      That said, I’m trying to be more proactive to help them be more fulfilled. I just wonder if anon is in a similar situation.
