So I come from a more well-off background than my boyfriend and recently I think he’s starting to notice the difference between our backgrounds. I’m in my last year of high school and he’s in uni and lately he’s been sorting out stuff for his student loan and allowance. A few days ago he said to me that I’ll need to be worrying about this in a years time except I’m lucky enough that my parents have offered to help out with my uni fees. I said this to him and since then he’s started making little snide comments about how I’m over privileged and what not. But its spread from just being about uni to other things. For example, as a child, my parents were working all day so my sister and I had a nanny that looked after us. I told him about this a while ago but he brought it up again yesterday and called my family a ‘load of tossers’ for hiring help.
He’s known from the start that I go to a private school and that I come from money, but it seems to be starting to only affect him now. I’m quite a tolerant person so I took the first few digs as jokes, but they’re starting to hurt a little now. He’s not a terrible person, and I feel like he’s thinks he’s just being funny, but they’ve stopped being funny and are really starting to bug me. I also know I need to be careful how I tell him because I’m talking to him over Skype now (I’m visiting family overseas and won’t be home for two weeks).
So how do I tell my boyfriend to cool it with the jokes in a nice-ish way? Thank you!
