Embarrassed by boyfriend

[DogDmor]

Been seeing someone for around 3 months. We get in we'll but he's quirky, which is fine - well I thought it was. Sometimes I'm starting to think he's just plain odd.

He's overweight and said he wanted to get fitter so I suggested he come along to my karate class. He did and I ended up mortified. He wore scruffy old jogging suit bottoms with paint on them and a massive baggy t-shirt with Harry Potter on. Whenever instructor showed him something he giggled. Instructor is hard arse, old school - I've known him for years and knew he was going to react badly. After 3 or so giggling moments and DB stood in weird positions and flapping his arms around like a little girl instructor said "what are you giggling at? Are you a girl or what? Do you have something wrong with you?". Everyone was looking. DB started stuttering and instructor carried on with "you know this is karate and not ballet don't you? Are you in the wrong class?". DBs face went bright red. I was mortified and just wanted to hide. Another female instructor said "alright, it's his first day" so instructor said "but what's he giggling at?". Anyway later on instructor came over to me and said "where the hell did you find him? Is he one of your patients or something?" I was so embarrassed I just said "he's a neighbour".

After the class I asked DB why he kept laughing. I'd warned him beforehand about the instructor. He replied "it was funny, I thought I looked silly!" So I said "you did, why did you act like that? It's a class full of martial artists, nobody else was acting like that" do he looked embarrassed and said "I don't know" so I said he shouldn't come again as instructor will have it in for him now. He got upset and said "but I like spending time with you" so I snapped and farted and said "well you embarrassed me, I've been going there for years and now I don't want to go back because of you, find your own hobby".

Anyway this isn't an isolated incident, a couple of weeks ago he embarrassed me in a cafe shouting and making a scene. In private we get on really well but in private he mortifies me.

He still wants to come to karate with me tonight. AIBU to tell him I don't want him there?

the instructors thought it kinder to send him off with the other adults.

There's nothing kind about how the instructor behaved to your BF

Bravo op. I haven't laughed this hard at a mn thread for ages.

Every night in my sleep
I see you, I smell you
That is how I know you, go on
Far across the distance
And spaces between us
You have come to show you, go on
Farts emanate wherever you are
I believe that the fart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my nose and your fart will go on and on
The smell can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime

Oh dear god, I missed the entire World Cup opening ceremony because I have been in tears laughing. Once I was coherent enough to explain why I was laughing, my husband started and that was me off again. Thanks for the laugh OP, sorry I haven't written anything constructive.

If you do fart to order in arguments be very very careful as one false move could undo all your effort...

Was that a typo? What did your husband start? Didn't you mean to say your husband farted?

YABU. He turned up to class at your request and you made him to feel bad about himself because of his weight and lack of coordination. That's pretty bad of you.

Sounds like the man was having fun which is what exercise should be about. I dragged my boyfriend to yoga and you know what. We both giggled and relaxed (he farted in a stretch, I collapsed on the mat laughing) and had a good time getting our stretches on even if we were not the perfect students.

I was late to pick my son up from school because I couldn't stop cry-laughing in the car.

I agree with pp who mentioned the "ick" once it's here it won't go away.

The instructor sounds like a dick. Your boyfriend sounds like he may have issues with being in social situations, maybe ASD traits? If you can’t handle this and find him embarrassing then he’s probably not the man for you. You sound a bit stuck up.

Oh bugger. I need to get some work done now. I am so angry I could fart!!!!!

Do you fart in anger then? OMG this is priceless.

Sweet baby cheeses, I’m crying!

snapped and farted

fortunately no, he started laughing

What has the fart got to do with the story? That's what I don't understand.

My 3 year old has just told me to stop laughing at this thread.

Op I've got mad visions of you cocking your leg and squeezing one out in protest at your dbs awful behaviour

What has the fart got to do with the story? That's what I don't understand.

To show how angry she was?

I don’t understand why I’m finding snap and farted so hilarious.. I thought I was more mature than this!

On a serious note just don’t take him to martial arts again. You don’t have to have the same hobby.

OP we are waiting holding our breath literally in case you fart again. :P

Only joking, personally I would end it with him, if he grates on you this much now it will only get worse, he sounds very immature.

I have IBS too. There's always a fart in storage for those deserving of an angry gaseous emission. It's a super power we have.

It's just even funnier now, knowing that OP deliberately snapped and farted

I have IBS

Well played OP, well played.

*punishment fart"

I've known him for years and knew he was going to react badly.

Yet you didn't think to clue your boyfriend in first? Didn't think to maybe suggest what would be suitable attire? That your instructor insists on people taking his classes seriously? I agree with a previous poster - you really set him up to fail.

If this is even real

"Girl" "girl" "girl", I couldn't read any further! Boyfriend should walk awAy from such sexist ***
