For the most part this is true. I mean personally I'm a nurturer, but I sure am no mind reader. And most guys know that when their lady says "You don't have to if you don't want to..." it means you better freakin well do it.
Honestly, you need to be direct and talk to him what you want. If you try to drop subtle hints, he's never going to get it and you are going to continue to feel unimportant. Have you ever really opened up and told him what your dad was like? Maybe it's too early in the relationship for something like that, I don't know. But it could be something to consider.
The thing about the male species is that we are about as dense as granite. We just don't pick up on things very well. If you have a sit down talk with your boyfriend, tell him what's bothering you and how you feel, and he still doesn't get it or doesn't respond, then he might not be the guy for you.
Whatever happens, I hope it works out for the best.
