Leo - maybe you've already tried this approach, so please forgive me if this is redundant. But you just might have to tell him exactly what you are after. Tell him all the little things that would make you feel appreciated and wanted. This may seem counter-intuitive, especially when you've been together with someone for so long and it seem like they should just KNOW what you want. But from my own experience, it doesn't work like that - at least, not in my relationship. I don't know if your husband is the same way, but my husband basically said to me, "I'm a guy, not a mind reader. Just tell me what you want, what makes you feel special and I'll try to pay more attention to those things." And for the most part, he has. Sometimes he does better than others, but then - don't we all.
And thank you as well you're not redundant because I really haven't opened up a whole lot about this to anyone (although I've read a lot of similar). And yes, it's not only counter intuitive but also rather unromantic! But... If that's what it takes it's worth a try.
Of course, now I have to figure out what all those little things are! Lol
