I'd really just like him to be a strong dependable man with some emotional strength already. Sigh.
This is a tough one. The good news is you know where you are and you know where you want to be. You just don't have a road map. I am taking it this is really big for you. He may need some help in getting there. My suggestion would be to give him some concrete examples of what you would like him to do in certain situations. e.g. In situation X, it would be helpful if Y. Of course, he is going to have to be open to change.

Probably not the best approach IMO. You probably won't be into it, so it'll probably take a lot of it out of it for him.

This sounds like the right approach to me. You can't control what he does or doesn't do.
