my kids also preferred one side over the other (but I can't remember which child preferred which side anymore!).
You just need to keep in mind that you do have to feed off the other side as well, even for a little bit, otherwise you could experience engorgement or blocked ducts. If he absolutely won't feed off the right side then at least hand or machine express that side so you don't develop uneven breasts or problems.
best of luck

Its perfectly normal. Sometimes they just prefer one breast over the other, I have no idea why maybe its just more comfy on that side.
My second daughter prefered my right breast for some reason.

your husband may be right. mine always prefered my left aswell! i think it is just comfy for both baby and me on that side. try to keep a balance though, otherwise you will end up lopsided!
