I need him to show me he cares

One thing to consider - it seems like your behavior might be manipulative. T's aren't supposed to let themselves be manipulated by their clients because they're trying to wean people off of manipulative behavior and into more adult, healthy behavior. I don't know how he'll respond, but he shouldn't let himself be manipulated. You need to learn how to ask for what you want.

It would just be a shame if you lose a good T over this. Hope it works out! I can feel how upset you are over this.
