Has anyone been made aware of their emotional neglect by someone else?

I believe that my partner has suffered through emotional neglect and it’s affecting our relationship. I’ve intimately learned what this has done to myself and my own life and I’m thinking of printing an article for him to read. I don’t know how receptive he would be towards this and I’d appreciate advice on an approach as well as any insight shared on how you came to learn about this for yourself and if someone made you aware and what that felt like.
