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

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?

Watch out though - he could be just sponge-ing off you

IotasCat · 24/04/2009 13:15

It was a bit of a bloomer to start this thread.

Are you considering split tin up with him?

Tn0g · 24/04/2009 13:16

Eclair[ly] is a sandwhich short of a picnic - steer well clear, Spotty.

YanknCock · 24/04/2009 13:16

Maybe it's just a phase he's going through. He might turnover a new leaf.

ChocFridgeCake · 24/04/2009 13:17

Spotty, how old is he, out of interest?

YeahBut · 24/04/2009 13:24

Look you've hooked up with an insecure nutter. Sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

YeahBut · 24/04/2009 13:25

Donut do anything rash, though.

blouseenthusiast · 24/04/2009 13:27

Obviously a fruitcake. And what a way to earn a crust. Donut get any more involved with this man, spotty

blouseenthusiast · 24/04/2009 13:27

X-post with YeahBut!

blouseenthusiast · 24/04/2009 13:28

"good in bread" heeheehee

zookeeper · 24/04/2009 13:30

He sounds like a (bread)basket case to me

Just as well he is not an ex-gravedigger, trying to impress his old colleagues.

A friend of mine went out with a gravedigger once. People were always asking him "Where d'you dig her up then?"

You lot are on a bread roll.

charitygirl · 24/04/2009 13:49

oh you hilarious bitches - this should go in mumsnet classics.

OP - sounds like your bloke is making a bit of a meal of this dating lark. a whole meal, in fact.

The toyboy takes me to Paris and Venice and buys me diamond bracelets and laptops, How do I get him to take Asda?

chocolateismyonlyweakness · 24/04/2009 14:05

Just get yer baps out.

YanknCock · 24/04/2009 14:10

Kimi, Spotty's bloke is obviously not one of the upper crust.

zookeeper · 24/04/2009 14:10

I bet he's his mother's pride and joy

KimiAteTooManyEasterEggs · 24/04/2009 14:11

my bap getting out days are long over I am afraid (although I did do page 3 many many many moons ago)

We went to waitrose last week though

KimiAteTooManyEasterEggs · 24/04/2009 14:12

Guess I will just have to roll with it

Nancy66 · 24/04/2009 14:14

Does everyone else get an Asda ad when they open this page...?

chocolateismyonlyweakness · 24/04/2009 14:16

A man with alot of dough, Kimi.

KimiAteTooManyEasterEggs · 24/04/2009 14:16

DA DA DA DA DA DA

YanknCock · 24/04/2009 14:20

He could be worse though, at least he's not treating you like some common ho(vis).
