Ask him why he’s being emotionally absent. Relationships, specifically marriage, work on trust. He may not know he’s even hiding it, but chances are he’s hurting inside and is afraid of opening up to you / being vulnerable. Part of that may be the fact that he feels his role has to always appear as the stoic masculine foundational rock. Either way you need to address the issue - and that doesn’t mean it’s all you or him. Couples therapy does work if you start sooner rather than later - and you’re not weird for doing it after a crazy emotional event like losing a child. People that look down on couples therapy are dumb.
