How does Macbeth deal with lady Macbeths reactions?

Macbeth initially tries to convince himself and Lady Macbeth that Duncan's murder will lead to positive outcomes. However, as guilt and turmoil consume him, he increasingly withdraws from her both emotionally and physically. Despite his love and dependence on her, Macbeth grows distant, unable to share his inner struggles and hallucinations with her. He pushes Lady Macbeth away, leaving her to grapple with her own guilt and madness alone. This strain becomes a contributing factor to Lady Macbeth's eventual downfall and demise, as she is left alone to face the consequences of their actions.
