Embarrassed by boyfriend

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?

BarefootHippieChick · 14/06/2018 18:24

Now I'm laughing even harder at the thought that op deliberately typed it and didn't make a mistake. I really don't get what it has to do with the story though!

Okay my new username will be ForwverSnarting :)

You've been together 3 months. Obviously it's not working. If it were, you'd be either amused by him or you'd be able to smile and roll your eyes. He's just going to annoy you more and more. You're not compatible. It's 3 months, not like you're throwing a lot away.

So you were angry with boyfriend and doing the "bend and snap" from "Legally Blonde" and you snapped and farted?

So funny reading these posts from other MNetters

I have to keep coming back to this thread, just for the shits'n'giggles GrinGrin

Ellendegeneres · 14/06/2018 18:35

Don’t be embarrassed op. We’ve all done it, had a fury fart. It’s ok.

Moneyissue2 · 14/06/2018 18:36

I only read two pages of this and had tears.

I’d LOVE to be in a cafe with a fella who shouted with glee at the fact you both dislike raisins. How bloody hilarious.

Op please fart more often too Grin

mummyway · 14/06/2018 18:37

I used to do martial arts classes before my youngest was born and they do expect you to take it seriously.
I would suggest to your other half to perhaps just observe a class quietly before he asks to join one again.
About the shouting in public, if he is making you uncomfortable in public maybe rethink the relationship to see if you are compatible. Don't just settle. Best of luck

Candlelight123 · 14/06/2018 18:37

Me in my next argument "im soooo angry, oh hold on, yup there it is...."

I didn't realise I'd been missing a trick with my IBS all these years.

Olddear · 14/06/2018 18:39

Why does he ask you if it's ok it's 2 in the morning??

BonsaiBear · 14/06/2018 18:39

punishment fart

I know of these...My otherwise lovely cat does them on my lap if she's not had the food she wants.

NotAnotherNoughtiesTune · 14/06/2018 18:41

Imagine if Oasis was like OP.

Her wind slips away, but don't snap and fart in anger, I heard her say.

Tbf I have IBS and am in awe with OP.

If I forced one out I couldn't be sure if it was the right kind of evacuation.

WanderingTrolley1 · 14/06/2018 18:42

You’re not right for each other. End it now.

Ellendegeneres · 14/06/2018 18:43

🎶 please don’t fart in anger, I heard him say 🎶

dinosaurusrex9 · 14/06/2018 18:44

Snapped and farted 😂😂 I’m really trying to work out what the typo was meant to be 🙊

ElMarineroBaila · 14/06/2018 18:47

So you actually farted???

SnapAndFartAllDayLong · 14/06/2018 18:48

^^^ sorry not sorry 😂😂😂😂

It wasn't a typo, the OP later stated that she has IBS (I'm dying 😂😂😂)

Lsnowe · 14/06/2018 18:49

Haven't laughed so much since the AIBU about DH's farts ruining a day out!

Mountainsoutofmolehills · 14/06/2018 18:51

Merryoldgoat is right.

Poor guy, he was so nervous and told you, where is your sense of humour. You aren't cool. I think you and the instructor should get together.

Moneyissue2 · 14/06/2018 18:52

Oh my god he asks if it’s ok it’s 2am and 4am GrinGrin

Fantastic, love it!

PLEASE update after tonight’s class op?????

Boffin90 · 14/06/2018 18:52

Snapped and farted had me literally falling off my sofa crying with laughter.
I swear I have pulled several muscles OP.GrinGrinGrin

WalkingOnAFlashlightBeam · 14/06/2018 18:54

I’m so glad The Ick is a thing! I’ve had a few relationships end early due to The Ick. Once it’s there you cannot get rid of it.

Also laughing hysterically: I get the IBS but how is it relevant? I’m guessing you’re upset and embarrassed because his behaviour was so bad you snapped at him and then the exertion made you fart which embarrassed you in front of your dickhead instructor who you clearly idolise and probably fancy the pants off?

FapandSnart · 14/06/2018 18:57

I have IBS too OP but have never been able to Fart with Rage.

Do you run Seminars at all? Perhaps you and Sexist Sensai can start them up together, I think those sessions will go down a treat!
