It's that I have gone first and doted on him continuously to see if he would naturally respond in kind, but he interpreted my cheerful disposition and open affection as a sign that all was well and thus, didn't think he needed to do anything different than he had been.

I seen that from the other direction as well - women who do not respond to the efforts of their husbands. They rather like the setup and see no reason to change.

Like a sponge, they absorb all efforts at renewing the relationship, and actually respond only by setting their standards higher.

Selfishness incarnate.
