You might not successfully change his annoying behavior. You can definitely change your reaction to it.
You should try to flip your immediate response. Assume that his deep dives into cultural backstory are not intended to hurt you. Also, feel free to tell him that you find it annoying to have a blog post thrust across the table during Sunday dinner.
You can also say, "Hey, why don't you send me a link to that piece and I'll see if I want to read it later."
What you shouldn't do is allow this to hurt your feelings.
Dear Amy: My fiancé and I have been engaged for two years. We are tying the knot this year.
