I think it was rude of him to compare me with someone else

I am engaged to 'Roger', we plan to be married in a few months. We hang around with a couple 'Chris' and 'Dee'. Chris always opens the door for Dee and she always thanks him. When Roger opens the door for me, sometimes I thank him and sometimes I say nothing. After one evening out with Chris and Dee, Roger said it would be nice if I were more like Dee and say thank you when he opens the door for me.
I told him I think it was rude of him to compare me with anyone else and if he wants Dee's behavior, he would have to be with Dee. He thought I was being out of line. I think I was letting him know I don't need to be compared to another woman and didn't appreciate him telling me I don't acknowledge what he does when in fact I do. What do you think?

Dear Liz,
I think it's great the two of you are getting married and will take each other out of circulation.
I think it's wonderful you don't have anything bigger or better to fight about.
I think it was rude of him to compare you to another woman and he could have handled the situation with saying he was hurt because you didn't acknowledge his actions.
I think you WAY overreacted especially when you acknowledge you don't always say thank you. In the future, say thank you more often. It's not going to cost you anything.
