I feel like he does provide a decent amount of reassurance, but I get the sense from your write-ups that you feel like you have to really express your need for it loudly before he will provide it. He won't just offer reassurance to you at key moments, and that gives him a flavor of being ever-so-slightly withholding. It seems like the dynamic is that he doesn't meet your moments of deep emotion with any emotional depth of his own. This bothers you, you discuss it, then he finally clarifies his support/caring/etc. That's more my observation, although I can't really say whether this is a problem or an unhealthy pattern on either side.
