Aibu to let these things bother me?? New Dp related

I've been with Dp for 3 months. He's a really lovely guy but there's something holding me back. It's all very superficial things but they do bother me. I'm going to sound like a total bitch but here goes....

Firstly he pouts in photos and sits with a duck face if he wants a kiss. It makes me cringe. He's started just sitting with his phone showing me pictures of himself, focusing on a recent holiday of him with his top off, all the time blatantly fishing for compliments - 'look at that rotten body' while shoving the phone in my face. Then there's the sex.... He makes noises like he's a porn star. I'm not exaggerating it's like 'oh yeah, OH YEAH, I'm going to come baby!!' Imagine this with a slight hint of American accent.

On a more serious note, I have a lot of gay/lesbian friends. He knows this so it's pretty obvious not to make any derogatory comments about homosexuals in my company. Whenever a 'gay scene' comes on TV he starts with 'that's disgusting, I don't know how anyone can do that, it's so wrong etc etc!' I've told him that I get it's odd to him but there's really no need to make a big song and dance about it. He still does it.

I know these are all very superficial things and extremely first world problems but I just need to know if I'm bu in letting these things bother me. I'm prepared for a flaming!

Gawd...

How on earth can someone think kissing a duck-billed platypus is an appealing prospect?

Surely you would only pull this face if you wanted the recipient of it to recoil in cringeworthy horro pr from you. Not snog you. Confused

Dump. For the duck features alone. Never mind the homophobia. Which is inexcusable.

StElmo · 20/08/2013 12:30

Ugh. Dump him. What a twat.

smallfaces · 20/08/2013 16:53

I'm going to end things with him, I don't think I could take much more of it. I'm rubbish at dumping!

How can you not laugh out loud? Seriously, he thinks that makes him sound sexy and manly and desirable? I'd be crying! Grin

50shadesofmeh · 20/08/2013 17:07

Sounds like the beginning of the end, once people start to make you cringe I think that's it .

squoosh · 20/08/2013 17:14

If you're cringing about him now so early on just think how epically embarrassing you'll find him 5 years from now.

Get rid, let some other lady enjoy his porny pumpings.

smallfaces · 20/08/2013 17:14

It literally takes me all my power not to laugh. The thing is, apart from that he isn't bad in bed. Obviously the commentary starts and I cringe and want it all over with.

Ew. Twat. And you don't like him. Get rid!

BeauNatt · 20/08/2013 17:16

He sounds like he's really uncomfortable with his sexuality. And insecure. If you see some good in him, why not address the issues, starting with the "acting"/performance during sex. Tell him he can be himself around you.

farrowandbawl · 20/08/2013 17:25

Get rid. You'll only start to resent him and his "habits" soon enough.

Viviennemary · 20/08/2013 17:29

All these things will get very much more irritating as time goes passes. Call it a day now. It doesn't sound as if you are well suited.

Montybojangles · 20/08/2013 17:47

porny pumping now when you put it like that it sounds quite exciting....

Montybojangles · 20/08/2013 17:48

...not Grin

gingeme · 20/08/2013 17:57

Hes not my ex bf by any chance ?? Dump dump dumpety dump

Optimist1 · 20/08/2013 18:26

He's got to go! The idea that he may be denying his sexuality did cross my mind, too, but that is not your problem.

When you dump him think of it as doing a favour for some person (unspecified gender) out there who will love the duck faces and pornstar sex scenes he has to offer!

Bluesparks · 20/08/2013 19:51

Before you dump him, can you sort of transcribe the sex talk? Pirate noises? Farmyard squeals? Specifics please!

Sparrowlegs248 · 20/08/2013 20:01

Have you told him about the sex noises/duck face/ fishing? I know you have about the homophobic comments. If you actually like him ither than that, talk seriously to him. Ask him his opinions on homosexuality. Ask WHY he talks like that during sex. Tell him you don't like the duck face.

Or....dump him.

Shutupanddrive · 20/08/2013 20:21

Get rid of him, trust your instincts. This is not going to get any better

NameThatTuna · 20/08/2013 20:24

I actually shivered reading your first post OP.

It reminds me of someone I was seeing years ago.

As soon as he walked in my house, he would take his top off (he did have a nice body). He thought he was a god in bed (yeah, he had a big cock but not the moves Grin ) and he used to say things that made me cringe.

He was a weekend shag really. The last time I slept with him I was sober.

Run. Run like the fucking wind and never look back!

NameThatTuna · 20/08/2013 20:27

Oh I forgot to say, I pretend that part of my life never happened. If I see him out anywhere, I hide.

I'm embarrassed I slept with him. Not once, but multiple times.
