He thinks I'm being selfish and he shouldn't have to prove anything, but I'm looking at it from the point that if he DID love me, he'd want me to believe it.

Am I just crazy?
I think I know what you mean by showing it vs. saying it. My first boyfriend would fight with me and send flowers and think that made it all better - even though we hadn't resolved any of the issues. He'd tell me I love you up and down and back again - but then he'd turn around and say something like "I really don't like that blouse, can you please go change so you look better?" (Needless to say, this is when I was 18. I would kick the shit out of anyone who said something like that to me now.)

Point being it isn't resolved with an I Love You. However, you shouldn't put all the ex's bad actions on him either. If we all did that the human race would never reproduce

Just tell him outright "it bugs me when you go a week without calling me" or whatever it is you'd like him to do to show you.
