Of course! As would I...we're good at this need, us women.
Knowing his personality as you do, is this something he understands? It may not even occur to him how this makes you feel...and it never will if you don't discuss it with him.
That said, it would certainly make me feel less valued for H to hoard every $$ and not think of including me in major purchases or windfalls. Especially if he had enough that a little thoughtful 'gift' here and there would scarcely be noticed.
I think you're right to move forward and do the best you can to let it slide off your back (no one has a perfect sitch), but perhaps if you're aware of this disconnect you can come at it from different angles and try to build a new intimacy with him.
