[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you told him it bothers you?  This is one of those things where it doesn't matter who is right (no one is right).  It just matters whether you can live with the status quo.  He's likely to say it less over time.  If he knows it bothers you and still hasn't changed, then your option is to accept it or let the relationship go if you can't accept it.[/quote]

+1. It will get worse, not better, with time.

But in my view, this is a silly thing to break up over, if otherwise a good relationship.

BTW, OP, I note some uncertainty in your own writing. You refer to him as your "partner" (whatever that means), then your "boyfriend," then you say you've been with him for 8 months, as if that is a long time. From the outside, it sounds like you're at a fork in your relationship, and perhaps you are farther down the road than he is. Eight months is barely a blip in the big scheme of things and it could be that you need to be examining your own goals and behavior as well.[/quote]
