From a girls perspective who kinda is feeling this same way in her relationship, I think what I’m seeking from my partner is just like when I’m talking I want them to be engaged. I want to be asked questions about my day/my friends/ my life/ etc. feeling like your partner wants to hear and not just is forced to makes a huge difference. And also probably affirmations every now and then of you even saying you’re proud of them, they look nice today, keep up the good work on school/work.
