Is he getting enough fluids?

DS stopped feeding from Right breast some weeks ago and only has 5 minutes on left breast (sometimes not even that) morning and evening. I am reluctant to give up breastfeeding but am finding it quite frustrating. I offer water during the day just after a mealtime but he does not seem keen. He will have a few mouthfulls if he wakes in the night but that is all. I keep telling myself that he would drink water if he was thirsty. Am I right, or is there something else I should be doing. (BTW he does have formula morning and afternoon, so I think he has enough milk).

If he's fine and happy and healthy, then trust him! He may be taking exactly what he needs in a shorter time than before - totally normal.
