There are a couple things that bug me about my boyfriend, two of which are him constantly interrupting me when we talk and him never ever saying 'please' or 'thank you.'

I try not to hold the lack of pleases and thank yous against him as much because that is a product of his upbringing. When I visit him (he lives at home still), his parents will not say, "Can you hand me that dish, please?" Rather, it's, "Gimme that dish" and no thank-you afterward. This is why I've quit buying my boyfriend gifts and tried my best to cut down on taking us out - I have to pay for everything, and he has never thanked me on his own. Hell, he never even thanked me when I bought him a Wii or any time I've bought him some game he said he wanted. I refuse to prod him like a child to make him say "thanks" - as a grown man, he should know how to do this.

And the interrupting makes me want to slap him. Sometimes it takes me five or six tries to try and say what I want to say, and half the time I don't think he even hears it. I admit, I sometimes will interrupt someone, but I catch myself and apologize. I've been just training myself to finish my sentence when he decides what he has to say is that much more important than what I have to say, and if he asks what I just said, I simply reply, "You were too busy talking over me to hear it."

I know, probably trivial stuff...but ooooo it bugs me so bad. I'm not sure how to approach this, if I should at all. Thoughts?
