<human>: Mobile user so obligatory apology for formatting, grammatical and spelling mistakes. 

Not sure if this is relevant or not, but this is my first ever relationship, but he has had relationships before. 

Our relationship started off a little rocky. Between my low self-esteem, his tendency to make the most horribly timed jokes and our terrible communication skills, we've both had hurt feels. However, we've both improved in all aspects and things have been much more steady and consistent. 

But in terms of asking him to do things, I feel like my patience has worn thin. When our relationship started, he openly told me that it had been a few years since his last serious relationship so he had gotten used to doing whatever he wanted whenever he wanted, and that if I wanted him to do something I would need to nag him. At the time, I wasn't exactly sure what this meant or the extent to which I'd have to nag. Turns out, I really do have to constantly tell him everyday to do (x) until he actually does it. It's incredibly frustrating and, having done it so many times about different things, I'm quite sick of it. It leaves me feeling exhausted at the end of a busy work day and my mind has started to wonder if there is actually anything I can so about him. 

He's a lovely person and cares a great deal for us, but Im so tired of nagging. We get along really well, it's not often that I find someone that I'd be willing to spend so much time with. I've told him this before, but I'm starting to feel less like a girlfriend and more like a mother. I'm quite frustrated and sad that I've been made to feel this way and I don't want our relationship to end over this, but I'm starting to run out of options. 

I guess what I'm asking for is stories or experiences of being in similar positions, maybe what you/your SO did that made you realise you needed to change.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: boyfriend wants me to nag him to do stuff. I don't want to be his mother. What to do?
