Does hubby ever ask YOU for a neck massage or expect compassion for him at any time? Do YOU do helpful things for HIM? He needs to know that it's not all one-sided. How would he feel if the shoe were on the other foot and it was HE who was empathetic while YOU "never think of it"? Have you ever discussed this with him? Does he realize how important it is to you? Maybe he just doesn't know. Remember he's a male; they ain't got a clue -- unless we give it to 'em.
