I can relate to this. I’m the one seeking quality time together and my wife thinks that being close by is enough. Choosing something to watch, sitting down together and then for her to just start reading a book on her phone is not at all what I need but she doesn’t seem to understand.
Thank you. That was my partner as well. We would sit down and start a movie or show or activity but my partner always had their phone and would be on it for their own distraction. I realized too late and expressed myself in a way that made them feel less. I wish I expressed it better and didn’t make them feel inadequate and not enough because I asked for that
I wish we didn’t break up less than an hour ago. I miss them already and they are just in the next room… I miss them like crazy

It sounds like intervention by a third party is needed for this if it has been ongoing…
