I think that those are reasonable things for you to expect to hear in your case.
I guess now that you know what you want from him, how can you set him up to be successful in giving that to you?
I guess that I just feel like, at some point a dialogue needs to happen about these things... Im not sure when the right time to do that, break the silence is, but I think that at some point when he initiates, you are going to have to respond. That being said- I dont think that this is what you need to do at this particular moment. But maybe be open to look for opportunities when it could be well received.
Now- do you think that that is a realistic to think that he might say that? Just because something is reasonable, doesnt mean that its realistic.
I guess I gave the wrong finger to the wrong man...
