Their circles haven't crossed very much since her remarriage and, when they have, she's made it clear that they've already said all they've needed to each other.

Leia's the only person he has left and he can't stomach the idea of her looking at him with the same kind of hatred she reserves for Imperials, the pity and sorrow she saves for refugees.
