AIBU?

For being pissed off about acting as "trophy" for bloke?

SpottyTiger · 23/04/2009 18:44

When I first met the bloke I'm seeing he made some shit excuse about needing to pop into Asda for something. I followed him in and he darted straight towards the back of the store where the bread etc is and was looking around all the time. Finally he "bumped into" his old work mates and very quickly told them that I was his girlfriend. we left the shop with nothing so it was obvious the whole point of going in there was so that he could do that.

Anyway he let it slip a few days ago that he's been distributing my photo around his family and friends and they're all commenting on how "Lucky" he is because I'm "really pretty" etc (their words, not mine). I just kinda cringe when he re-tells me.

Then yesterday I'd been for a job interview, we'd been for lunch and then he said "You look so lovely today ... " (in suit, make-up etc) and he then suddenly said "oh, just remembered, I have a voucher for asda, I'll just pop in there ... "

Needless to say he headed straight for the bread part. I realised what he was doing and ducked away when he wasn't looking and headed back to the fruit, then watched from a distance, ammused as he panicked and looked around for me when he found me, he tried it again "oh, I'll just have a look down here ... (bread ailse, where his old work mates work) " and so I followed him so far then disapeared again. He finally gave up and decided he didn't need anything from asda after all.

I feel like he's treating me as some kind of trophy. AIBU to feel pissed off about it?

He sounds a pain (chocolat)

chequersmate · 23/04/2009 19:48

Wasn't there a thread about this already?

Are you the same person? The thread about someone being freaked out about being called a girlfriend on a first date.

That OP was going to run for the hills apparently.

hereidrawtheline · 23/04/2009 19:48

I am really literally laughing out loud at all your clever puns!!! Love kneady! I am not thinking that fantastically atm but very much enjoying it!

To the OP, while the bread aisle at Asda is very very laughable, um... what can I say? He sounds smitten. I love being paraded around trophy like!

noddyholder · 23/04/2009 20:22

You must tortill-him you don't like it

Tn0g · 23/04/2009 20:25

Be careful, Spotty, that you don't end up with a bun in the oven.

IotasCat · 23/04/2009 20:28

His behaviour reallly takes the biscuit

SpottyTiger · 23/04/2009 20:28

very funny! love the puns ... I was actually being serious but hey, the replies have cheered me up!

I'm sure it does sound ammusing but IMO it's no fun being dragged through Asda just so he can show off to his friends.
Especially when they look at me sympathetically! wtf is all that about!?

I have no idea what it is about. Ultimately you need to either put up with his weirdness or finish it. It's your choice isn't it?

sleeplessinstretford · 23/04/2009 20:45

jesus fucking christ- i want to weep- please finish with him-paraded round the bread section of asda...this is a joke right?

boogiewoogie · 23/04/2009 20:53

Not on being known as being someone's crumpet.

I've noticed that you've started 2 threads in this topic tonight about the same man. Perhaps that's a sign that you really ought to dump him.

Noonki · 23/04/2009 21:01

Donut stand for it!

OrmIrian · 23/04/2009 21:09

I think this relationship should be firmly in the pastie.

Boco · 23/04/2009 21:11

Ciabatta think long and hard about where this relationship is going.

JosieMiller · 23/04/2009 21:46

LOLOL

Gentle · 23/04/2009 21:49

I think you're a farl. I'd have naan of it.

Boco · 23/04/2009 22:35

Just don't let him focaccia slagging him off on the internet!

(hmm, needs a bit of work maybe)

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 23/04/2009 22:47

I think you're all being too hard on the guy.

He could take me there and parade me around the bread AND the meat aisles.......

purpleduck · 23/04/2009 22:50

I would baguette. I mean, leg it

purpleduck · 23/04/2009 22:51

I hope he give you flours to apologise

Judy1234 · 23/04/2009 22:51

I like being shown off visually (because I know I'm principally known for my career success anyway). But the main off putting thing is he has friends who work behind a bread counter!
