What actions does he expect from me?

The cards don't show what's inside his head — they show what's happening between you two, and the one thing he keeps not saying out loud.

Past is Ace of Pentacles reversed: whatever concrete arrangement sat between you — money, time, a specific favour — got scaled back, softened, or quietly dropped. Present is Three of Swords: right now something is being carried rather than said, and the shape of it is a hurt, not a plan. Future is Wheel of Fortune upright: if this continues exactly as it is, the ground moves — and it moves from outside, a schedule, a third person, a change of his situation — not from either of you deciding anything.

So, conditionally: if the concrete ask comes back out in the open, clearly and on time, then the dynamic does shift and your standing changes with it. If what keeps arriving is only tone — warmth, mood, nothing with a date on it — then the turn comes from outside your two, and waiting for it from him is not a plan.

One step you can run alone, today: open your message history with him and read back the last three things he asked of you. For each one, mark whether it carried a concrete ask with a time attached, or was only a feeling. That record tells you more about what he has actually been expecting than any tone you've been reading, and it takes ten minutes.
