Boyfriend irritable

Not sure if it's just me being overly sensitive.

Before somebody that I thought was a woman came jogging towards us with long hair. Turns out it was a man, I laughed at my mistake and told my boyfriend I had thought it was a woman.
He asked me what the relevance was and said it made no difference to my life so why did I need to comment on it.
I never make nasty comments and wouldn't like it if somebody did that about me.

Just recently moved in together only 10 minutes from our old place and I said oh well at least we haven't got far to go. He said why are you saying that, I would only say that if xyz.

Something that he does constantly in shops or in streets is manhandles me out of the way of people. I told him i don't like it and he seemed to understand but it makes me feel like I'm clumsy and in the way. He will literally pull me out of the way and say watch out !! Even if people behind me are capable of saying excuse me and getting past. It seems to happen in every shop.

Not sure if I'm overly sensitive.

Your boyfriend is a prick and you should be moving out. He has future absuer written all over him.

Raise your standards, OP. You're with a horrible man who feels free to manhandle you. This is not going to get better.

Sounds as if he sees you as beneath him. The manhandling out the way would really irritate as well as being questioned on why I said that.

Give him a few months and maybe rethink the living together if he's not going to treat you like an equal.

Skyla2005 · 09/02/2021 17:36

Why are you with him. His a nob

ParisStilton1 · 09/02/2021 17:37

I admit I am surprised to read these replies and it's really made me question our relationship.

Time to walk away. Don’t waste your life on this person.

Shoxfordian · 09/02/2021 17:39

He sounds like a knob
Should probably be an ex

ParisStilton1 · 09/02/2021 17:40

I thought i was being overly sensitive about the shops thing as I get it's social distancing but it's making me feel like some kind of clumsy oaf. I find it patronising and OTT.

Okokokbear · 09/02/2021 17:41

Sounds like negging. Making you feel clumsy and in the way, that you're chatting too much, that you can't make a relevant comment.

Has he just started behaving like this?

GreenlandTheMovie · 09/02/2021 17:44

I would find someone who made that comment about a runner a bit hmmn, but then I'm a runner and I'm fed up with the stupid comments I have to put up with when I'm out running.

Is your boyfriend particularly keen on sport and you aren't?

This sounds like some level of incompatibility.

It clearly says in our tenancy no loud noise after 10pm and here he is playing guitar, we live in a small studio and he's playing guitar at 11pm, no idea how far the sound travels but walls seem thin, just no regard at all , I've politely mentioned the noise thing about 3 times yet been ignored by him he's still playing, already got a complaint in my last flat because of him.

He seems terrible OP and the comment about the runner is plain rude. It's ok to make random comments that don't affect ones life. That would make me second guess myself on what conversation he would deem worthy. The manhandling is ridiculous and ignoring you re the music is disrespectful. He is really just a twat. Why are you with him?

ParisStilton1 · 10/02/2021 08:56

He did it really close to the door too, I kinda saw it as a putting me in my place thing.

OP posts:
Okokokbear · 10/02/2021 09:08

His behaviour seems very passive aggressive. If not outright aggressive.

DamnUserName21 · 10/02/2021 09:43

He doesn't seem to respect you at all.
I'd rethink my future with this person and, definitely, do not have children with him (if inclined to).

HitchFlix · 10/02/2021 09:49

This man doesn't respect you as an equal. It's as clear as day. Now you know better you can do better. Bin him offf.

Good. It should. My ex H was very invested in making me feel like the biggest, most unlikeable nuisance in the world too. Right down to the pulling dramatically out of the way and apologising to complete strangers for his annoying girlfriend, later wife who was actually behaving in a perfectly normal way.

He became extremely abusive later and I had a very bad few years trying to get rid of him.
