I don’t think the distinction between them is all that important; either one is a bad sign for the relationship and you can’t fix either one by just yourself. He has to be willing to communicate for you (both) to have a chance at moving forward.
I would say stonewalling means deliberately ignoring attempts to communicate, and the latter is just not bothering to initiate conversation? Bottom line is neither one is something a person who cares about you would do.
