I agree with you and I don't think you're over reacting in all the examples you gave. If he's going through the effort to make a dinner, why not make enough for you too, even if you're not hungry, it could be saved for the next day. When a man makes the effort to cook for a woman, it's a very nice gesture. Men cooking as a surprise can be a real turn on. He should be more considerate. I want to point out, I don't think your partner is being rude on purpose and he just needs you to explain how this makes you feel.

With the closet problem - I'm sort of in the middle on that one. Maybe you could have said - "I noticed your drawer was broken and I have a good one....would you like me to give it too you or put in in myself"?? But really it's not a big deal IMO.

Regarding support - if he's normally analytical then it's tricky getting him to relate to your emotions. Also sometimes if men aren't comfortable with emotions being expressed - they're not sure what to say or do....so they play it safe and don't do anything lol. So for next time, you may have to clearly say what you're hoping to get from him - you can also let him know for example...you're just want to vent and he doesn't have solve the problem but a hug would be nice.
