For some people it's a habit, personally I did it when my son was going through chemotherapy, so it was nerves. Do something about it, I ended up ruining my teeth and paying $5000+ to get crowns on 6 of my back teeth... with insurance!
My dentist recommended "The Doctor's Night Guard" for something over the counter, or you can pay significantly more for something more comfortable and fit for your teeth from your dentist.Health Question & Answer

You could use a mouthpiece. Uncomfortable, but it will keep you from grinding your teeth. If you are usually stressed out, that could be a reason also.
I suggest more visits to the gym, relaxation, or a massage from your bf. Sounds like a nervous/anxiety problem.
