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)

I’m glad it’s not just me wanting more details on the sex bit.

Op those things would give me the rage too...

DITCH

I used to date a guy who winked during sex. We had decent sex if I kept my eyes closed.

Oh Christ. I bet he drinks expresso.

I once went out with someone who insisted on saying "state of the ark".
When I said "it's actually art" he looked at me as if I was the ignorant cretin.

Totally irrelevant but I also once went on a date with a man who did a weird high pitched laugh after almost everything he said, and while walking along the street took a strange skip sort step every few strides, it was mystifying and definitely not attractive. Safe to say there was only the one date.

Bin him op, he sounds insufferable.

You stayed with him seven months too long @LittleBlackCurlyHairs!

Also, yes please to the sex details, I could use some humour amidst all the bloody coronavirus misery!

“State of the ark” 😳😁

His phrases are odd. :/

You have the ick though. Can't undo the ick, so might as well leave now.

@LittleBlackCurlyHairs OMG he sounds soooooooooooo irritating!

Imagine 50 years of this?

Dump him.

Where js he from os this maybe a regional dialogue

*is

Agree that you can’t undo the ick, you can’t unhear that stuff. Forgiveable if he was amazing in bed, but people who talk like that rarely are, I’d assume!

And what about the sex is odd?

Sounds like a dork. Whatever induced you to start seeing him?

I had one date in the (iron curtain) 80s with an Eastern European surgeon who kept insisting he was going to "defecate to Englunt". I laughed all the way home.

It sounds like the sort of thing you might find endearing towards the start of a relationship, and ends up being the cause of a little nerve twitch next to your eye. Only in your case, you've gone straight to the irritation stage. If he doesn't even make up for it by being good at sex, I think it's time to nip it in the bun . But not before you've told us about the sex talk. Does he call it "willy cuddles" and make mewing noises at the crucial moment?

I got the ick from An ex that said basic-al-LY at the start of almost every sentence.

He also pronounced lasagne as las-ag-knee

Once you get the ick, it’s pretty impossible to get rid of!

I'm so glad you started this thread, OP. It's made me properly lol.

But EIGHT months? Why?

YANBU. Definitely ditch him before he gets to, 'Hey, ho, the wind and the rain'.

My first relationship ended not long after my ex referred to a dressing gown as a dressing gownd for the thousandth time.

Oh a blind date called sex "rumpy pumpy", needless to say, he never got any from me.

Well done on surviving eight months.

I don't think I would have.

I told my husband of 30 years that one more “thanking yewww” would send me to the divorce lawyer. He’d caught it from an older friend. He dropped it.

I couldn't really. Run.
