I’d not let it brew in my head. Just speak up. It doesn’t need to be a buzz kill as it doesn’t need to be an argument. Just polite and calm awareness right on the spot.

I'm not waiting till later on purpose. I sort of froze. I know it's best to bring it up in the moment. Though not wanting to be a buzzkill did delay my response. Though just to be clear, when I bring things up to him, he doesn't make me feel like a buzzkill. I'm partially, too, like "again? Really? I have to say something again?"
