<human>: I am what I consider to be an above average level of thoughtful for my SO, I do not expect him to exhibit that level of thoughtfulness, but I sometimes feel ousted in the relationship because I feel like I am always trying harder.  When I say thoughtfulness, I am referring to things in the nature of "boyfriend is sick? visit him and bring his favorite cookies and gum" or "boyfriend likes mountain dew? keep it around the house".  I have expressed this to him, and we have both acknowledged it is partly a factor of it not being his natural personality, whereas it is a part of mine.  But, it being that we have been together for a while now, I have asked him to make some effort at being more thoughtful.  He then goes on to say "he doesn't know what I want him to do".  That's where I get stuck. I'm not sure how to explain how to "be thoughtful", and I can't just make a list of "things I want him to do", as from my viewpoint, being thoughtful is doing something small for someone unsolicited.  Any advice on how to either work around or improve this would be much appreciated.
