I think some people are just not compatible with each other. To try and claim one way is right or better or more rational is surprisingly unrational and not aligned with finding a solution.

When you are unable to offer emotional support or empathy to your partner, communicate early that you won't be willing or able to listen to their problems on their terms. Then they can decide if that's okay with them. Problem solved.

Some people need to be heard a lot more than others, could be compatibility in that case. If I'm the listener 90% of the time without being able to engage in the conversation really, it doesn't seem appealing for me to be there at all. A balance is probably a key factor, and some people are far more needy than others.
