Cobra, what is the chance that he expects to have the same gestures he wants thanks for recriprocated? I'm so amazed at the 5 Love Languages. Is he asking for validation/praise or recriprocating kindnesses to "show she cares"? Could his desiring sincere thanks be this kind of plea? More, "I LOVE YOU and show it by doing xyz. Don't you love me? You never DO XYZ for me!"
Just a novices guess.
Pity me that the heart is slow to learn
What the swift mind beholds at every turn.
