This article request on how to deal with a boyfriend who talks loudly has a simple, but not necessarily easy solution.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Take your boyfriend aside for a private conversation away from other people. A boyfriend who talks loudly can be embarrassing to you, but correcting him on this could be embarrassing to him. First thing you want to do, is to have a private conversation with him. Don't snip at him in public. Take him aside and, in a friendly way, tell him there's something you need to talk to him about.
Step 2

Be direct, but kind. Don't speak to him in anger, but do let him know how his voice volume is unnerving to you, that you don't like the attention that it draws to you in public, or that so many other people can hear your conversations when you're out and about.
Step 3

Give him an honest chance to respond. If he's willing to change, show your willingness to help by suggesting that you have a signal system set up when his voice gets too loud.
Step 4

Be patient. Habits don't change overnight, so give it time. As long as he's making an effort, remain kind, helpful and encouraging.
Step 5

If there's no change, if he disagrees that there's even a problem and refuses to work on it, then you need to make a decision. How embarrassed are you by your boyfriend's loud talking? Is it something that you can let slide or is it one of those things that is just going to keep chipping at your relationship? It's best to deal with these kinds of relationship deal-breakers earlier than later. You want to have a strong relationship, not one that makes you want to hide your head in a paper bag.
