Breaking up with lazy bastard boyfriend

85 replies

FatArseChair · 17/10/2017 14:08

Hes 30 and still lives at home with his mum (who does everything for him). He comes to visit me every weekend. Friday night he turns up early and tell him I'm on my way out. He asks where even though he knows full well I go to karate on a Friday night. He said he'd come and watch. He then spends the 2 hours sat taking the piss. Instructor (reputation for being an absolute fucking maniac when riled) asks him what his problem is. DP says he thinks it's funny watching me fight. Instructor tells him never to under estimate a woman and suggests he take his shoes off and fights someone in the class if it's all so funny. DP refuses and says he wouldn't want to hurt anyone. Instructor laughs in his face. DP goes quiet then afterwards tells me instructor is a bell end and I should stop going. I tell him I wasn't entertaining that idea but told him he was a bastard for embarrassing me like that in front of my fellow club members. He says it over reacting. On the night instructor sends me a message saying he hoped I wasn't embarrassed by what had happened. He then adds "just thinking, you told me you wanted to lose weight, I can think of an excellent way you could lose 15 stone over night".

Anyway. Onwards to Saturday morning DP is still in bed snoring at 9am so I go off and do park run. Get home and he'd still in bed so I go swimming. 11.30 come home and he's still in bed but playing on his phone. He says "where have you been?? I haven't even had a coffee or any breakfast". I lose my shit and say "get off your fat fucking arse and make yourself some then". He snaps that I'm "bang out of order" and when he comes to see me I shouldn't fuck off out. I tell him that when he comes to see me he shouldn't be a lazy cunt and stay in bed all morning. He says he's entitled to a lie in when he works all week. I tell him to lie in at his own house then instead of stinking out my bedroom.

Saturday afternoon and he'd continuously nagging about food. On the night he orders himself a huge takeaway and sits there drinking beer and inhaling this shit food. I tell him I can't see a future as we're just too different. He accuses some me of having an affair with karate instructor (who happens to be 20 years older than me and married). Yesterday he text me asking what we're doing this weekend as he wants a lie in!!!! I text him back saying not to bother coming as I have karate Friday night, park run Saturday and gym Sunday and don't want to sit filling my body with alcohol and fat all weekend. He sent a message last night saying I have broken him. I'm fucking livid.

Are you asking for permission to break up with someone with whom you have nothing in common and who you quite clearly dislike immensely?

sonjadog · 17/10/2017 14:48

This is not the man for you. End it.

ButchyRestingFace · 17/10/2017 14:49

He accuses some me of having an affair with karate instructor (who happens to be 20 years older than me and married).

Shame. He sounded cool.

I text him back saying not to bother coming as I have karate Friday night, park run Saturday and gym Sunday and don't want to sit filling my body with alcohol and fat all weekend

You are seriously incompatible. Can't you find another keep fitter who'd be more your type?

The way you two talk to each other is very unpleasant. I'd chuck him pronto and have a think about letting doomed relationships drag onto the point where you are spitting insults at each other.

PlumpkinArse · 17/10/2017 14:50

You don't sound awful, OP. You sound awesome.

As does your karate instructor Grin

You're better off without him

PlumpkinArse · 17/10/2017 14:52

What

not to mention not an awful lot of fun

I actually think the OP sounds like great fun. Karate, Swimming, run, gym. Sounds like a brilliant weekend.

Not fun because she doesn't fill her face with shit food and booze? Hmm

Fionnbharr · 17/10/2017 14:53

Sounds as if you would both be better off with different partners.

Willow2017 · 17/10/2017 14:55

He hadnt had any coffee or breakfast cos 'the little woman' hadnt made it for him?

Yes your instructor was right, run for the hills, what a selfish, ignorant, self absorbed git.

(Part of me wishes he had had the kahonas to get up in class and 'prove' what he could do then landed right on his backside Wink )

God, his mum is either a saint or heartbroken that she is still stuck with him Smile

Find someone who is better suited to you, this was never going to work, you are fit and healthy he is anything but and I doubt that will change anytime soon. He wants to make you feel bad/embarrass you to make himself feel better, sod that.

KatharinaRosalie · 17/10/2017 14:58

What's the AIBU? You clearly don't like him, there's no need to spend time with people we don't like.

paranoidpammywhammy2 · 17/10/2017 14:59

Some people bring out the worst in us. Some put on an image of being a decent person when you meet but a few months down the line start to show their true colours.

Is he like this all the time?

UnicornSparkles1 · 17/10/2017 14:59

Get rid of the man child.

Shoxfordian · 17/10/2017 15:02

Yeah you clearly have incompatible lifestyles
Doesn't sound good

Stripesandstars44 · 17/10/2017 15:03

Obviously YANBU. Get rid.

Don’t really understand the comments slagging u off saying u don’t sound nice. He is clearly the lazy unereasonable twat here.

XJerseyGirlX · 17/10/2017 15:04

Your karate instructor sounds like a gent - shame he is married
Your BF sounds like a lazy ass - ditch him

DistanceCall · 17/10/2017 15:10

YANBU.

He sounds unbearable.

As for the comments about you not being "nice" - FGS. "Niceness" is not all women's default setting, nor should it be, you know.

butterfly56 · 17/10/2017 15:12

get rid of the lazy ignorant bastard you deserve better.

StaplesCorner · 17/10/2017 15:14

YABU to continue seeing him. When can you text to dump him?

LastOneDancing · 17/10/2017 15:18

It sounds like you broke up last weekend when you told him there was no future.

It sounds like you don't even like each other.

Just tell him, clearly, that it's over!

IfyouseeRitaMoreno · 17/10/2017 15:19

Your Karate teacher said don’t underestimate the strength of a woman? Shame he’s married else I’d say go for him.

Of course he’s an idiot for laughing at your karate. It’s great that you’re doing that and he should be supportive not mocking. He thinks he’s so great cos he’s born with natural strength whilst you put a lot of effort into learning techniques to build your strength. Yet he looks down on you. What a bellend.

VitriolicMuse · 17/10/2017 15:21

PLEASE leave him. He will suck all the happiness from you. Just focus on you, you clearly don't need his financial support, he's giving you no emotional support. I really don't see the attraction. You will deeply regret not ending it, especially if you end up having a baby with him. I ended up having a baby with my ex who sounds quite similar, I can confirm they never change.

ReanimatedSGB · 17/10/2017 15:24

Another one wondering why on earth you were dating this useless arsehole in the first place. You might want to have a think about that before you date again, TBH.

Have you been given the idea that a single woman is a failure/unnatural/selfish? Sometimes women who are desperate not to be single end up with the first loser who asked them on a date because anything is better than Not Having A Man.
Was your previous partner (before Lazyarse) abusive, so that a lazy one who didn't actually hit you seemed like an absolute prize at first?
Is this lazy man quite goodlooking, or charming, or a great shag, so that you were initially prepared to overlook your incompatiblities?

QuiteLikely5 · 17/10/2017 15:27

Totes incompatible.

WonderfulWomenRock · 17/10/2017 15:28

its a no brainer - leave him.

Be single. Find someone much nicer. It doesn't matter what happens next just don't be with this oaf any longer.

WonderfulWomenRock · 17/10/2017 15:30

remember OP, you don't need to argue with him about this, there doesn't have to be any drama.

You can decide who you have in your life simply because it is your life and you get to make decisions about it.

GrumpyMcGrumpFace · 17/10/2017 15:33

hoping he has redeeming features, cos he sounds awful from this. He wouldn't be my friend, let alone my boyfriend.

Get rid, losing 15 stone overnight sounds the right plan!

HatieCockpins · 17/10/2017 15:37

YANBU. Your BF sounds like a right pain in the arse.
Your karate teacher, on the other hand, sounds amazing.
