My H would rarely contact us...he once went nearly 5 months with NO contact even though our S10 called and emailed him...no reply...sometimes I would phone his work and ask the receptionist if she had seen him just so I would know he was ALIVE! Now he tells me he didn't do this because he didn't care...but he couldn't...he was so depressed that he didn't love himself so how could love anyone else???...he needed that time away to reach inside...although he was doing this with a lot of alcohol he finally came to a place that he realized that he needed to move closer to his S10...my H suffered severe child abuse...I find that those with the most severe MLC have some sort of sad history in common...do you know if your H has this in his past?
