Not even sure what to call this

So I’m feeling like my bf has this need for recognition and getting a pat in the back. I guess I understand people wanting to be told they did a good job but my bf seems to take the whole thing overboard. I had asked him to help my brother file his unemployment because this is his first time and he was filing it too. Anyway he called me this morning asking if my brother had got his debit card because it looked like his unemployment paid out. Anyway, I texted my brother “Do you have your card? It looks like they paid. Check your mail”. Later my bf calls me and asks if I had gotten in contact with my brother I said I texted him. He asked what I texted. I said I just asked if he got his card because it looked like they paid. He asks me if I told my brother that he’s the one who actually got the information. I said no I didn’t motion it. He says real sarcastically “oohhhhh THANKSSS Bellaaaa”. Hell I had no idea it mattered. If he wanted credit for looking up something why didn’t he just call my brother and tell him himself what he’d found out? I also don’t even see what the big deal is.

In February I got sick and had to be rushed to the hospital. My bf wanted credit for being on the phone with me and being the first person to tell me that I needed to go to the hospital. 😳 like for real it actually came up and it wasn’t the first time. Same thing happened on another occasion I had to go to the hospital.

It just seems so dang petty to think I’m tryna take away your accolades and not give credit where credit is due. I just really need him to grow up.
