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?

I haven’t laughed this much at a thread since the woman who screamed at the Sistine chapel

Me neither. I have to keep coming back too it. I tried to read it in work, but I just couldn't. It is too funny.

Moneyissue2 · 14/06/2018 19:01

I remember the dog told him to piss off thread too. But I don’t care!!

Please update after class op. Include all the relevant details, what your bf wore, what you/he/instructor said word for word and please do not forget to leave out ANY bodily functions thank you very much

ReverseGiraffe · 14/06/2018 19:02

I was reading through this thread crying with laughter and had to explain why I couldn't breathe to my 5yo. I don't think she got it.
Also ran into the room shouting "IT WASN'T A TYPO!!!" to my poor dp on reading about the Op's IBS. Best update ever.

isthismylifenow · 14/06/2018 19:04

Maybe if you didn't eat the raisins you might have just snapped and not farted

TimesNewRoman · 14/06/2018 19:05

"SNARTED"

😂😂😂

patchysmum · 14/06/2018 19:06

Only read two pages and my stomach hurts with laughing,thanks op but think you are too up your own arse and the bf would be much better off without you

Curlywurlywurly · 14/06/2018 19:11

I had to leave this thread to compose myself as my giggles got a tad hysterical and I couldn't stop laughing!

I too have IBS, thinking of taking up Martial Farts now.

isthismylifenow · 14/06/2018 19:11

Times.... Snarted

Grin Grin

Just when I thought we'd never see anything quite like Sharon and the wasp/wine incident (followed up by T-rexing in the supermarket), this thread has come along.
Hopefully it'll make classics.

isthismylifenow · 14/06/2018 19:13

The thread that keeps on giving

Martial Farts

OMG Grin Grin

Urbanbeetler · 14/06/2018 19:14

Very similar style to Sharon. And I agree with the poster who said this thread is going exactly how the op intended! Well played op. 🤣

Srilli · 14/06/2018 19:17

I’m dying!! This is comedy gold!

Pumpkin1975 · 14/06/2018 19:23

I’m laughing so hard I just had to wordlessly hand the iPad to my DS and point at the OPs post. DS now keeps coming in and saying “OMG are you still laughing mum?” 😂😂

TotHappy · 14/06/2018 19:24

Hee hee

Namechangedname · 14/06/2018 19:24

To be honest, you all sound bonkers, although your partner seems the most harmless.

Aridane · 14/06/2018 19:29

This reminds me of the wonderful reanimated zombie thread where OP’s BF was so angry he CAME over her college course work

Karate teacher a cunt

You a farting grump

DP a doll

LiteraryDevil1 · 14/06/2018 19:31

Lovely sexist instructor there Hmm

Snapped and farted GrinMaybe he's embarrassed by your farting?!

Did he have any better clothes to wear or was that all he had that was sort of suitable?
Sounds like you don't respect each other so I'd leave him to find someone who isn't embarrassed by him.

HunterofStars · 14/06/2018 19:33

Oops wrong video. Blush

liz70 · 14/06/2018 19:35

Love the haiku, Ariadne.

QuackPorridgeBacon · 14/06/2018 19:37

This thread is fantastic. Thank you op.

On a serious note though, if he makes you feel embarrassed and you can’t get over that then it’s probably best to end the realtionship. Regardless of mental health, if you can’t not fee embarrassed then it’s best to walk away. However, you and your instructor sound like dicks. Why is girl being used as an insult these days?

Mammalamb · 14/06/2018 19:37

Hmmm.... did a thread not get pulled a few weeks ago as the OP mentioned in the middle of a sentence that she pissed the chair?

QuackPorridgeBacon · 14/06/2018 19:39

AeroflotGirl I truly hope you don’t advise any partners your daughter may have, to run for the hills. That is awful and if they can see past her Aspergers then great and they should be allowed to and if they can’t that is also ok. They don’t need you advising them to run just because she is different. I know you replied saying you didn’t mean t that way, but going from what you posted there is no other way to take it.

Stop it, I’m dying!! Grin
