Emotionally unavailable

My man and I have been together a year and in the beginning “honey moon” faze it was great he showed up with flowers, my favorite coffee, planned dates etc. a year later, barely get compliments, no flowers, no words on how much he loves me, I’m the one try for sex. I still write him letter on my love for him, I get him things just because, i plan dates,I look at him and smile and just remind him how much I love him.

Ive talked to him that I need more affection, more emotion, something every now and then just because you love me. He says well I’m not as emotional as you or as poetic to write you a paragraph to wake up to and I don’t show as much affection cause I like my personal space and what am I supposed to do to remind you I love you. I told him it doesn’t have to grand it can be a flower you picked on the side of the road and you thought of me, a simple text that just says I love you and I hope you have a good day. Even just a random hug and say I just want you to know I love you.

I told him that maybe he could love someone else better and I don’t want to hold him back from being in love with someone else. He says he can’t love someone as much as he loves me. If a guy truly loves a women he would work on himself and help better their relationship. I feel like I shouldn’t have to give him ideas or directions to show love towards me. Am I wrong? I’m asking for the bare minimum right?
