I know I deserve better which is why I'm trying to find things to say or do to open his eyes. How do I show him I won't allow it? Yesterday I didn't go out of my way to speak with him, I kind of mocked what he did. Ever since he acted like that with the music I've been short with him because I'm tired of arguing over the same petty thing. I think it's selfish. His mom says "his dad's the same way, I just put in headphones." pretty much supporting her son instead of saying "hey you do need to share".
I know I am not tied down to him but he does have a good side and like us all has a bad side. As for the cheating, he's never cheated on me (that I know of and that's what he says). His whole family said he's been very different with our relationship than he has with the ones in his past.

If he grew up with this kind of father then no wonder he is this way. They are happy but it sounds as their wives aren't unless "they put their headphones on", figuratively speaking.
Why are you focused on how to change him rather than how to change yourself, in particular how not to go for men who need changing. You can't change people. It's not your job.
First 8 months of relationship supposed to be a bliss, he supposed to be crazy in love and you two should be love birds. Your relationship is bad from the beginning! Why do you think you need to have a bad boyfriend and then work on changing him instead of looking for a nice boyfriend?
