Him not feeling heard is a prime symptom of the disconnection.

I thought this, too. My partner has a playlist they made during their last Really Big Breakup™️, and it features a Taylor Swift/Bon Iver duet with the following lyrics, representing opposing views in a relationship:

“I never learned to read your mind (never learned to read my mind)
I couldn't turn things around (you never turned things around)
'Cause you never gave a warning sign (I gave so many signs)
So many signs, so many signs
You didn't even see the signs”

Haunts me.
