Baby talk in the bedroom is a big no-no

When we are getting intimate, my boyfriend thinks it’s cute to talk to me in a child’s voice. 

In the early days of our relationship he would call me pet names in the same baby voice, which I thought was sweet. But over the past two years it’s crept into the bedroom and I hate it. It’s a huge turn off for me. We have been talking about marriage but I can’t spend my life with someone who can’t address me like an adult in bed. What should I do?

A. Although you say you can’t spend the rest of your life with someone who will not address you like an adult, you need to recognise that being an adult means being able to tell your partner what you like and what you don’t like.
