How do I show my bf that I need him? I don't feel like I should have to ask for my feet, back, or stomach to be rubbed. I don't feel like I should have to ask for help around the house. But If I don't ask then it won't be done. And If I do ask he kinda gets an attitude and doesn't do it correctly or he'll expect something in return. What do I do? I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow and I can't wait for this to be over

Maybe just tell him what you wrote on here haha I had to do that with my husband... I'd ask for a shoulder massage and he'd expect one in return. Finally I just said you know what, I'm tired and sore and just need a fricken massage okay! Hahha. It worked and he hasn't said anything since. I give him massages though without him asking me to so I think it makes him a little more compliant when I actually ask for one.
