Also, we met in college. While I was away at law school I didn't see him much, and I think that maybe his habits got worse and more prominent while I was gone. Before we were dating I never really was in situations with him like I am now, for example eating together in a nice restaurant.
I think you and the others are right, I do need to communicate with him about all of this. It can only help things between us. And if I don't do something about it sooner rather than later it will only be a bigger issue and harder to work on.
Thank you for your support :-)
