Go ahead and vent, Ali. Sometimes the neglect is due to a need to get away, I agree. I think in some cases it can be a manifestation of selfishness that worsens until it becomes toxic. I know a woman whose husband has gone fishing (full time) for their entire 30-year marriage. She worked two jobs and raised the kids. He admits that he does it because he can and he's happy. She's not happy, but she chooses to remain in the marriage.
I suspect that, although communication is needed, a weekend isn't likely to do it. Maybe some couples' counseling? I'm very sorry this is happening.
