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?

Oh how I regret starting this thread!

You're obviously jealous that he thinks I'm the best thing since sliced bread (has that one been done? too obvious?) what? if you can't beat em, join em!

And yes, please do put this thread in the classics, I deserve it after all the piss taking I've had to endure!

He's 35.

Girls stop joking and take the OP seriously. She has a real issue here. Now, I'll try to help:

Asda fun gone out of the relationship or dough, sorry - I mean do you really like him? Has he promised you a good secure future with a large farmhouse? Does he bring you flours? Does he come to bed in a blue hairnet with a paper hat on top? Has he spelt out his love? He sounds a bit intense to me - he may be a cereal killer but it might be muffin to worry about.

TiggyR · 24/04/2009 14:43

And has he introduced you to his Naan?

SpottyTiger · 24/04/2009 14:44

Keep going ... I'm thinking of writing a book with these lol

He doesn't have other bad habits, does he? For instance, he's not baked all the time or anything?

Nancy66 · 24/04/2009 14:47

Spotty - you have been a great sport. But your BF does sound like a bit of a cock, sorry.

he seems very, very immature - would that be right?

TiggyR · 24/04/2009 14:48

I'd say cock-a-leekie, definitely. With a crusty roll.

ChocFridgeCake · 24/04/2009 14:51

He's 35?!?

You're dating Peter Pan.

TiggyR · 24/04/2009 14:52

If he's young and inexperienced give him time to prove himself. Half an hour in the airing cupboard usually does it.

TiggyR · 24/04/2009 14:53

Oops sorry - didn't see he was 35. How did you see that CFC?

TiggyR · 24/04/2009 14:54

Actually he's clearly old enough to know batter.

Can he drive? How's his parkin?

I have a terrible hangover and this thread is making me cry with laughter

Boco · 24/04/2009 15:15

The problem seems to be him treating you like a hovis a vis his work mates. I don't know rye you put up with it.

paranoidmother · 24/04/2009 15:34

oh god this thread is good for a friday afternoon

Tn0g · 24/04/2009 15:37

Don't show him your muff[in] or he really will get the cream horn.

chocolateismyonlyweakness · 24/04/2009 15:43

If you hear him say you're a nice bit of crumpet definitely give him the heave ho(vis).

BottySpottom · 24/04/2009 16:15

Nothing wrong with the bread isle. My Granary and Grandpa met in the bread isle, many years ago now.

BottySpottom · 24/04/2009 16:19

Perhaps he just likes bread. After all, we are what whe-eat. Maybe he will take you on holiday to Barley if he likes you that much. Just don't give him his oats too soon.

BottySpottom · 24/04/2009 16:21

Guys, I think we should stop taking the piss. If people were replying to one of my posts like this, when I had a serious problem, I think I'd crumble.

Boco · 24/04/2009 16:22

Mumsnet has broken my brain. I stood in the bread aisle today staring at bread products and trying to make puns, muttering 'panini...pan..eeni....pani..ni...no, croisannts...cwah...sonts...' to myself while my children pleaded for choc ices.

It's your fault. I'm leaven.

TiggyR · 24/04/2009 16:28

OK, I've been giving this some thought whilst on the school-run, and now I'm back, I'll give you my professional diagnosis: He clearly sees you as a sex object. Have you slept with him yet? Because if not I'd wheat a while. He'll respect you more if you withold his oats and don't go all the whey too soon - after all you barley know him and you curd end up with egg on your face. Don't want him to think you're a tart, do you? Anyway, having read all this thread it's clear you just think of him as a meal ticket. Yoghurt yourself to blame really.
