Answer
Help-needed,

He's being rude and exhibiting boorish behavior.  Get after him, if necessary carry a crop with you and smack him with it.  Insist he keep moving with you and focus on you.  He' being very disrespectful.  

He's just taking advantage of you because you let him get away with it.  Don't let him.
