Hi, my boyfriend has a habit of walking infront of me and then saying 'come on' in a clipped fashion, like you would to a child or dog. I've snapped at him a couple of times for saying it like that as I don't want to be going out with my father nor do I appreciate it in public as I think it's a bit rude. It really does sound like how you would say it to a dog if you wanted it to heel.
Anyway, we're out for a meal yesterday and he gets to the door of the pub, I'm left behind as usual (why can he never walk with me?), he says 'come on' in the clipped voice and then WHISTLES like you would to get a dog to come to you.
Now, he found this funny. So when we were stood at the bar, I said that I wasn't having a go as I understand he was only joking, but that I don't find it amusing so can he please stop doing it.
To this, he huffs and puffs, rolls his eyes tells me I'm pathetic and is in a mood for the next 10 mins while I apologise for having brought it up.
Should I lighten up?
