You cannot change the fundamentals of them, who they are.

But if there are things you don't like, it is worth saying.

Hey, Larlo, while I really like when you touch me when you walk by normally, I don't like it when grope me when I'm on the phone. Would would you stop?

Hey, Larla, I love family dinners. Would you mind putting the phone away while we eat dinner so we can model good behavior for the kids and be present?

Hey,Larlo, would you try to remember to put a fresh bag in the trash can after you take out the trash?

Hey, Larla, It stresses me out to get into the car when the gas tank is on empty. If you can't fill it up when it gets to a quarter tank, would you let me know, so I can plan accordingly?[/quote]

OP here. These examples are various levels of terrifying - #2 especially, whew. That would just lead to a litany of all the times I used my phone in inappropriate ways. Three and four wouldn't be worth raising. One falls into the category of "if they don't already understand this, saying something isn't going to help."[/quote]

Every one of these requests are reasonable. If you find them terrifying (seriously?) then you are likely in an abusive relationship and should get out. [/quote]
