"Love me - love my dog" ---not necessarily. Your boyfriend has some very valid reasons for not liking your little dog. But, you'll have to work together to solve these problems... and, your boyfriend needs to see that he is responsible for some (not all) of the problems that he is having with the little guy.
When I had little toddlers, my husband and I had a wicker basket on top of our washing machine (which was in an alcove in the kitchen). We put everything and everything that our children shouldn't have there - car keys, wallets, etc. etc. etc.
AND - if either of us failed to do that - it was our own fault!!! Not the other person's and not the children's fault.
I think your little dog's chewing and playing with things he shouldn't have can be fairly easily solved.

About your dog's "jealousy" problems - A lot of the other posters know better how to handle that than I do.
Good luck!
