Just tell him, it's not like he'll throw a hissy fit... |

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.' |

Dump his inconsiderate ass? |

Do you know if he actually appreciaties the things you do? I mean, as you say, it's a product of his upbringing? Perhaps he actually is thankful for the stuff, but just because he was never taught to, he just doesn't think about saying it? |

Relationships are built on two gigantic principles, in my experience: Selective honesty and communication. |

I know I need to say something to him, but I'm just...not the most articulate person when I speak in person (writing is a totally different story). I guess I was just wondering if there was a good/best or bad/wrong way to tell him, or if I should just be firm about it. |

Relationships are personal. Someone who plasters theirs all over the net is more interested in attention than in crafting a relationship. Or so it seems to me. |

Now tell me - is there some reason you can't (or won't) tell him what you just told us? There's a reason people are sometimes easy to talk to, sometimes hard to talk to: because it means something when a person speaks to you. At times you're very connected and conversation flows. At others, you can't get the words right. Imagine that both situations occur for a reason. Then get at WHY you need to talk to them anyway. It's not a matter of whether or not you can or if you should, but whether or not you will. |

Is he really worth it? There are plenty of men who don't need training on how to be an adult. |

He doesn't have manners and doesn't treat you like you should be treated. Sure, it's just a "give me that" instead of "may I please have that", but it can and probably will get worse. |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

I wouldn't thank you for giving me a Wii if I was him. |

If he interrupts you, you need to say, affirmitavely, "Don't inturrupt me!" Don't scream/ shout/ yell it, but say it with authority |
