I can't stand my boyfriend's way of talking

Were you deaf before you started dating? I don't get how you only notice this now >.< You should just talk to him and see if it can be fixed or atleast understand why he's like that.

What do you really know about him seeing as though you guys are unable to communicate? How could you have not noticed this before you became his girlfriend? I had a guy like this but he only mumbled around other people but not when it was just me and him. We went out and he was mumbling. When the waiter left I told him that he needs to learn to speak up because he almost didn't get to order his food (closed mouthes don't get fed literally). Then again my boyfriend was a bit shy.If yours is shy as well you may have to get him out of his shell.

I'm not sure if this comment will help but it is worth a try. I'm also a mumbler (not to his extent) but ive been told i mumble and people used to always ask me to repeat myself. Then I took a sales job, and my sales actually sucked because poeple hardly understood my pitch (even though it was good) so heres what I did. Everyone I talk to I assume they don't speak much english or are mentally delayed. It sounds funny and weird but it forces me slow down, use good volume and really articulate all my words.

What a stupid reason to want to leave him for. If you loved him this would not be a problem. Maybe you should try listening harder.

Um, you should not be dating someone if you can't stand the way they talk. How can you actually like them?

Could be a confidence thing. He wasn't taken seriously as a child, or maybe had some sort of impediment that people made fun of, so, mumbling is the safest way to either have someone else do the talking for you, or, if things are wrong, have someone blame it on. "I don't know what he said, he mumbles all the time" is an easy way out.

Have him read aloud, sing songs he likes, anything to just practice. Maybe a digital, handheld recorder to dictate into and learn to do better. He may be eloquent and articulate if given the chance, and confidence.

In my early college years, I had a habit of talking too fast at times, requiring people to say what, I missed that, slow down..Handled it myself, and, did a sports radio show (with the newspaper sports editor that people hated..so they ended up focusing on me most of the time). Radio show made me slow down and do better. Even the hot, younger secretary in the office I student-worked at, noticed. Went in one day after the show, and she told me "Very good job, interesting show. Could hear every word, too". We then started having coffee together and just chatting. Really enjoyed my time with her, and, kind of used it to monitor my own manner of speaking.

Read a book out loud. Everyday practice. Soon enough he won't mumble. U have to coach him. It's not that hard? Are you like 16?? Bc that's common sense kid. Tell him to knock it off & read

I hate mumbling. especially when a guy does it...I don't know why but I expect guys to speak clearly and distinctly. Not much is less attractive than a mumbler. Maybe get him a video on diction or confidence might help.

They do have speech therapy for people of all ages however it is very expensive and insurence doesn't always cover it. If he is school age he can request services through the school for free. You might want to encorage him to look into that. Also if you live near a college or university with a speech program he may be able to get free services. Is he able to speak clearly when you ask him? If so he is just going to have to make more of a concious effort otherwise speech therapy won't help if he is just not willing to change it. If he is unable to speak clearly when asked he may benefit from speech therapy. Good luck! Perhaps is you really talk to him about your concerns it will motivate him to change.

I THINK HE MAY FEEL NARVEROUS TO TALK OR HE MAY HAD SOME COMMUNICATION PROBLEM WITH OTHERS.
BETTER U EXPLAIN TO HIM BOUT YOUR UNCOMFORTALBENESS.

Lol! Omg, that's really embarressing ! Tell him he better go to speech therapy, they have it for everyone. Good luck!!!!

You should be honest with him and discuss how it makes you feel and what you have been thinking about. I've known people that mumble and I'm just straight with them and tell them to speak properly. some people are just lazy when they speak. My sister does this but it's because she is to lazy to open her mouth. Honesty is key with relationships, you can talk to him about it and if it is really a problem and not laziness, I'm pretty sure it is something he has had to deal with alot and would love the support of someone to help him fix it, maybe he just has not had anyone to support him in this area of his life. you could be the first.

it might just be heridatary. you must be a very good girlfriend for always sticking with him despite how he sounds, i think thats sweet. maybe if you talk to him about it and try to give him speech lessons of your own. who knows, with you patients he might just learn hope this helps:)

Something could of happened to him in the past to make him talk this way. You say his sister talks this way too. Maybe you should ask him about his past life. Like if there was any personal issues with his family.

And also if you truly do love him, you wouldn't think about leaving him JUST because of his mumbling. Honestly, in my opinion that isn't a good reason to leave someone.

LMFAO.
