Apparently wanting a relationship of a 16 year old

I was messing about and showing my partner of 3 years this video of "things women want but won't ask for" which were

-meaningful conversation.

- genuine compliments every now and then.

- Some type of affection eg. Long hugs

There were a couple others that I didn't class as important in a relationships like slow dancing.

When showing him the list and telling him which ones would be nice he says I'm wanting a teenage relationship but that's not how life works. Apparently compliments mean nothing because they are just words and affection isn't important because we have kids.

Is he right? Am I wanting too much??
