Yeah, I think you're right. and what makes it even worse is even beyond not getting anything from her, he's got to feel like he's doing something unpleasant to her because she doesn't want it. I think there's got to be a lot of times when Philip just wonders why she has to make the personal relationship so hard and painful when at the least they could take some comfort there.
I was recently watching the end of "Gregory" for a whole thing I was thinking about and the moment in that scene when Philip actually turns and looks at her sharply like she's hurt him is when she explains her situation as living in a strange country, in a strange house with a strange man. Like the fact that she's confirming that he's always just one more thing that doesn't belong in her life that she has to deal with and feels no connection to--as Clark said to Martha, it's like he's an intruder.
