don't teach him. don't teach him how to treat you right. don't teach him to buy you flowers, remember important dates, or make time for you. don't keep explaining the same things over and over, hoping he will finally understand. the right person won't need a detailed guide on how to care for you. when someone truly values you, effort comes naturally. they pay attention, they listen, and they try because they want to, not because they were told to.
