Even the most attentive partner can occasionally misread signals.so try not to make an issue out of it. , go ahead , express your feelings and your needs. Many a time it happens that partners feel embarrassed to express their  needs and desires, end up feeling disappointed  and hurt ,without bothering to analyse "why".    Partners are not mind readers so try to spell out your feeling  and requirement , instead of assuming  that your partner will understand it. Most people who suppress their wants (big or small) over a long period  ,end up feeling bitter and frustrated , while blaming their partners for having been insensitive to  ( unexpressed ) desires. They forget that there partners are not trained psychologists ,so how they possibly know what's on the other person's mind  if it remains there ???
