My husband I went through something similar (he's 34). I think men sometimes are just so selfish and don't realize we have needs as well. I layed it out for him as Sally said and we actually had a really good chat about things.
One of the things we have started doing is having a chat every Friday night about anything that is bugging us etc because I tend not to bring things up as it becomes a bigger deal then I want and he doesn't bring things up because he just let's it slide but then it comes out in other ways. This has been helping us and if something happens that doesn't need to be discussed immediately then I get over it faster as I know we can chat about it on Friday. Sometimes I don't even bring it up on the Friday as it isn't a big deal to me anymore.
One of our biggest issues is my feeling that the kids are "my responsibility" and he helps out whenever. He has started doing things with the girls by himself and 1:1 which has made a big difference with our relationship and his with the girls.
