I hear ya. Just remember that women and men don't always understand each other's needs and wants even though we think it is obvious. She is most likely thinking you guys are doing great. The things you tell us about what she is doing sound really good to me. I would think things were going well as well. Especially if it has always been this way in your relationship. She is like this. It is her way. If you want her to expand "her way" to something different you need to tell her.
