My experience for when someone tunes out like that is that they are protecting themselves emotionally. It's usually subconsciously too. If your partner has had abusive relationships, it very well could be they'll need to talk through things in therapy to be able open up.

Has or would your partner consider going to therapy?

You may have to just accept that this is how your partner is....not everyone can fulfill our needs.

Many people would want a partner who can fulfill basic needs such as conversation and/or passion. OP may want to consider whether they want to stay in a relationship in which these needs are not being met. On the other hand, if OP wants to stay, and if the lover will not try or benefit from therapy, OP may also want to go to therapy in order to learn to deal with a situation that cannot be changed.
