Is this a good ground for divorce?

My husband is a good man and I love him sooo very much but he lacks the ability to verbally express emotions or how care. For example, we would both come back from work and I will ask him how his day was, he would tell me how his day was but he would not ask me how my day was. When I do tell him to ask me, he will and when I tell him that I was stressed about something… he won’t ask what’s stressing me or offer solutions. I keep teaching him what to say like I am teaching a child but he still isn’t getting it, even after 5 years of marriage. My husband could walk into the room and see me crying but he would pretend as if he didn’t see me crying. When I am going through things emotionally I bottle them to myself because I don’t see the point sharing with someone who isn’t emphatic. I have a very important interview tomorrow which I am nervous about so I shared this with my husband… all he said was “go to bed early so that you can wake up early in the morning to get breakfast ready for when I come back from work. Transportation will be difficult for you to go to that work”. His concern about transportation is that I wouldn’t be home on time after work to make him dinner… so the difficulty is for his convenience and not any difficulty for me.

I have been patient for 5 years but now I’m starting to feel so alone. I need someone that i can discuss my concerns with and someone that would be present emotionally. I am thinking of leaving him but my friend says that it’s not a good enough reason to leave because he has never physically or verbally abused me or cheated on me. I really don’t know what to do
