AIBU to think my boyfriends comments are arrogant- during a game of football down the park he won and he said "I always win at everything in life" .. it was sort of jojey but he generally think very highly of himself.. so this comment made me cringe

It sounds minor and petty but he has a v good job car pension and at 40 has paid off a lot of his huge mortgage on his big house so yes he is doing well in that side of life but i hate that hes a trumpet blower!

He's also said things like he thinks hes a better partner than most men (when he does stuff around the house). Hes said before "i think im a good catch".

He say things like he doesnt do things by half..when he does something he goes all out to make it the best (this was after i commented hes never taken me away for the weekend).. so he was suggesting he hasnt yet but when he does it'll be the best :-/

The language/words he uses when he talks can often be pompus and it grates on me.

He discusses his pension n mortgages with his dad in front of everyone. He mentioned a new work deal the other day and he said "if i get this deal i will be a hero".. probably fine to say this but even this comment made me slightly cringe.

He says he knows he has arrogant stresks and that theres nothing wrong with confidence (ive tried to explain the difference). Hes not rude to waiters etc hes just a trumpet blower and i cringe.

The first time he met my parents he arrived one hour late (no reason), didnt apologise and when he left said jokingly to my dad "so as i like to say Alan, im not always right... just most of the time"... cringe!!!

Could u put up with this???

LOLL

OP, I couldn't put up with him . It would really grate on me in time .

Depends on how he says it . ie the weekend away . Was it said in a bragging boastful manner or a nicer way ?

He sounds deeply immature and a bit thick into the bargain. What if anything attracted you to him?

The OP is complaining that her partner is boastful yet she calls herself Supermummy . Oh the irony GrinGrinGrin

You posted about this before didn’t you? If you didn’t like him then and you still don’t like him why are you still with him?
