I’m going to have to split up because his phrases irritate me

[LittleBlackCurlyHairs]

Bloke I’ve been seeing for 8 months. He says the weirdest phrases and says the strangest things I can’t get over my annoyance.

One of them is, he’ll yawn and then say “oh! I’m yawning well!”. Wtf does that even mean?? I’ve never heard it said before and he says it almost every day.
Another one is “we need to nip that in the bun” bun??!! I have told him that it’s bud but he carries on saying Bun. I find it annoying.

“Keep sure you do that” “keep sure to set your alarm” etc etc ... keep sure?!

Jellypeano on the pizza

There is other stuff too but relationship aside ... has anyone else heard of these sayings?? (Keep sure, yawning well etc)

My friend once shagged a man who on looking down remarked on 'the beautiful union'..

I read that in my head as "the beautiful onion". And it didn't even surprise me.

I say weird things like this sometimes. My brain is just slightly malfunctioning constantly

For fuck’s sake, no one needs random strangers to tell them anything. The OP just shared a discussion point. Is your scrolling finger broken onatrain?

Oh. God. I couldn’t cope with that.
Definitely get rid. He sounds a bit thick.

Is he from Norfolk op?! i can just hear a Norfolk accent with all those phrases ;-)

Time to nip him in the 'bun'

YANBU it sounds awful.

Also you're allowed to end a relationship whenever you want for whatever reason or no reason you have.

I dunno, I kinda want to know as well

FPBP.

Lad sounds like a total div, OP. Time to move on.

I agree that if you were head over heels for him and walking off into the sunset then these phrases wouldn't irritate you so much. They might even seem adorable!

Oh pleeeeeease tell us about the sex, think of all those overworked, underappreciated MNers who need a good laugh!

I keep picturing Giles of Giles and Mary from Gogglebox... except instead of being charmingly eccentric he misses the mark and sounds like a twat.

I've just remembered mine would always say 'spank you' instead of 'thank you'. It wasn't even in a sexual/leery way, just like he thought he was being affectionate, like when people have pet names. Only did it with me. I said, 'do you say that to your boss?' and he looked so shocked. 'Then why say it with me? It saves you no time and makes you sound like you're taking the piss out of someone with a speech impediment'

I'm with @onanothertrain. Just dump him. Why would you start a discussion about it when the answer is a no brainer? And clearly the OP has already decided to dump him.

I read 'Onion' too, without flinching.

OP I have a BIL like that.... I almost dumped now DH because of it. It is inverse snobbery, if you correct it, use the correct term you are am elitist snob... and can be pitied, denigrated etc. Tiresome and absolutely a good enough reason to dump him.

Be very pacific about your reasons why... you want to date an adult not a cutesy poo man child!!

Eight months?! You have put up with this for eight months?

Tell him it's not working out.

If you like him, tell him it's because he persists in saying "nip it in the bun" even after he's been informed the idiom is bud. Then he will have the opportunity to improve before he gets dumped again for the same offence.

the beautiful union

I read that as 'onion'. Had all sorts running through my mind.

@PlatinumBrunette I actually snorted bogeys out of my nose at "chimbley"

I, too, request the sexy talk. I am a poorly middle-aged woman who was considering Tindering again [it is a verb now, yeah?]

You've got to tell us about the sex op... does he yell ' I'm about to organism' just as he cums

He sounds irritating as fuck and combined with the shit sex I would dump him ASAP

Oh please nip this relationship in the bun OP and keep sure you do that!

Nope he has to go. He sounds weird and what with the bleugh phrases and mispronunciations AND grim sex there’s no salvaging this.

I'd have dumped after the first few irritating phrases and definitely after the first time of shite sex. Bin and move on. 'This relationship has run its course and is no longer working for me. I think it's time for us both to move on.'

Or does he slap your flank after the act and say 'well done, lass' like he's congratulating a pony for a clear round?

He sounds the type.
