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

[SpottyTiger]

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?

ASDA and a'trophy gilfriend', well, oxymoron if there ever has been one.....

SpottyTiger you've been a great sport!

It has crossed my mind to ask your boyfriend's name and the branch of Asda, so that I can turn up there looking my "best" (i.e. mousey, not very well kept, 36 year old pregnant woman in her dressing gown) and ask everyone working in the bread aisle if they've seen my boyfriend!!!!!

I've run out of bread-related puns, so....

I really think, based on this and the other thread about his lack of social graces, that you ought to call it a day.

My personal belief is if someone is annoying you that much in the first few months, it's time to end it. Those first months shouldn't be hard work. It's the time you're meant to be showing your best side and gradually getting to know someone (hide the crazy). Alternatively, it's a time when you don't normally notice bad habits/social faux pas because you're so smitten by the person's good qualities.

Doesn't sound like either of those scenarios are true!

You don't owe him anything, you don't HAVE to keep seeing him. Better to end it than waste both of your time. His weirdness will not suddenly become endearing!

Good luck, and I think you're an amazingly good sport!

LoL at Gentle - if you think you are not very well kept now just wait till you've had the baby!

And agree with everything YanknCock just said!

[Gentle]

TiggyR I'm already a Mum so I am currently working both the before AND after look!

[Judy1234]

Yank is right.
May be this is all about class and status nad if he's got friends who work on bread counters rather than on the board of the supermarket you may be fishing in the wrong waters.
