This obviously bothers you, and has bothered you for awhile. I can remember you asking things like this months ago. So, I say this: if something bothers you- whether it is big, little, trivial, monumental, etc., have it addressed, preferably by Mike. He essentially has blown you off with the "you worry too much" or "don't worry" type comments. It is up to you to decide if that is acceptable or not.

I see in your posts what I see in many people's relationships ten years down the line- needs of yours not being addressed. If it matters to you, your feelings about it *should* matter to him.

But, having said that, you seem fraught with insecurity about this relationship. Rightfully felt or not, this is *your* issue to address, not yours and Mike's. That is an area I would encourage *you* to explore, and NOT seek affirmations from Mike.
