My partner is emotionally unavailable. How do I help them open up?

I keep trying to be easier to love, and I think that's the wrong project. I don't even have a clean name for it. I just know it keeps running the day. Friends say 'just communicate.' We communicate. It just doesn't land. I figured if anyone would get it, it would be people here. What would you tell someone who is tired of trying and still not ready to give up?
