Is anyone going to beat me about the head and shoulders if I suggest saying to him, when he is going into his "busy bee" mode of fixing things for you and you are feeling disconnected, just something like, "If you want to do something for me, do you know what would really mean a lot to me, emotionally? I would really love it if you were to give me some flowers." You could fine-tune the wording, but it seems pretty straightforward to me. Of course, _I_ have a nodding acquaintance with logic since I haven't had my brain abducted by aliens (at least, I don't _think_ so...)!
Glad things are going so well, Ali!
Peace, Dawn
