[quote=Anonymous]Married almost 20 years here, happily married.  I'm just going to make some sweeping generalizations, so get ready.  In general:

Men don't think that way.  Stop expecting your DH to read your mind and know what you want, and imagine what it's like to be you and dealing with all the stuff that you have to deal with.  If he could do that, he'd be your girlfriend, not your DH.

Tell him what you want.  NOT "I want to you fill up the gas tank for me every now and then." But "Honey, can you fill up the gas tank?"  
NOT "You didn't get me anything for Mother's Day." but "Honey, Sunday May 12 is Mother's Day, and since the kids are too little, I need you to make me pancakes.  And a cute card from the kids"  or "I'd like a silver necklace from X store."

Ok sure, not as romantic.  But realistic.  And the road you are starting to go down in your OP is not going to lead anywhere but to disappointment.

And then when you ask him to do something specific, he does it, be happy![/quote]
