I think he acts like his dad does expect we've not been married for 30 years

His conversation is so pain. Like today he asked me 4 times how I had no data on my phone and it was my treat to him since he done me a favour how would I pay dinner after I've already told him you don't need data

He taps his foot when food takes too long. We aren't even 30 why would he behave that way I get the older generation behave that way hence his dad but we had no where to be wnd we could just chat to pass time

He starts no conversation. I am always the one to start conversation

He is just a downer in general. I went to paint the bathroom he made a 100 reasons why I shouldn't paint my own bathroom. Then was like is it even bathroom paint? To stop me doing it

I was changing out my hoover and he was like aw is it still broken? Like his first and only comments are so negative. Every single thing is just negative I feel like I have to lift myself up all the time

Jeez, what on earth are you getting out of this relationship?

If he’s not even lighting your fire during the honeymoon period, what hope is there. Do you even like him? What are his good points, OP?

Why have you chosen to live with a bore? If he's like this now, he'll be far worse in 20 years, and you'll hit the headlines for finally snapping and stabbing him with the bread knife.

Do both of you a favour and find someone else now.

He sounds like he may be depressed. Is he fun in any other ways? Can you have a laugh together, enjoy telly/films/music together? Have a good sex life?
If not then I wouldn't stay with him to be honest. If he is nice in other ways try and ask him if something is bothering him, and maybe encourage him to seek counselling or MH support? You are young, and it sounds like you are not very compatible sadly.

You have some very bizarre ideas about aging.

aside from that, you clearly don’t like this man. Just break up with him.
