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?

Mammalamb · 14/06/2018 20:26

Bad taste. I was thinking that too! Didn’t that thread get pulled?

BadTasteFlump · 14/06/2018 20:29

Mamma yes it did - sad times Sad

Charlotte1x · 14/06/2018 20:34

You snapped and farted? Confused Grin Grin

Can't think of a serious response, sorry.

QuackPorridgeBacon · 14/06/2018 20:34

What was the piss on the chair about? Why did it get pulled?

DrCoconut · 14/06/2018 20:35

I dare someone to bump it with a gentle fart

amusedbush · 14/06/2018 20:36

Once you have The Ick it will never go and you will notice more and more things about him that you dislike

Oh, I totally had The Ick with an ex! We were together about a year but slowly, slowly I began to go off him until he was so annoying and unattractive the thought of him touching me made my skin crawl Blush

amusedbush · 14/06/2018 20:37

DrCoconut

It’s not a typo - the OP explained that she has IBS. As if that makes aggressively farting at someone more normal Grin

Moneyissue2 · 14/06/2018 20:37

Oh my god. That’s brilliant, thank you aridane

Imelda03 · 14/06/2018 20:37

The fact that someone else had to intervene and tell your instructor to lay off a little as he was new says it all. Your instructor is an arse.......and on that point typo or not I found your snapped and farted reaction hilarious... please come back OP.

piggie88 · 14/06/2018 20:40

Omg this has made my day! Every time I read another post I started laughing all over again 😂

MatildaLovesBooks · 14/06/2018 20:41

Omg I remember the piss on the chair thread😂😂😂

ALongHardWinter · 14/06/2018 20:43

OMG this is even funnier than the 'I urinated on the chair' one that was on here a couple of months ago! People think I'm a loon,sitting at the bus stop and sniggering to myself.

NoCowardSoulisMine · 14/06/2018 20:46

Were you practising 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Fart' moves OP?

Oddcat · 14/06/2018 20:46

How on earth does the Op manage to do karate without farting.?

*SomeKnobend

Don't let him go again, if he pisses about any worse you might have to shit yourself.*

🤣🤣🤣

sprinklesandsauce · 14/06/2018 20:47

DD keeps giving me odd looks. I’m crying with laughter and have a fit of the giggles. I haven’t laughed like this in years 😂

I calm down the read on and start again 😂

Mamadothehump · 14/06/2018 20:51

This is amazing!! You know when posters claim that they are "literally crying" when reading a thread and you think - nah!? That's me right now!!!
"Snapping and farting all over the place" did me in!!!

HonkyWonkWoman · 14/06/2018 20:56

Only read first two pages but I'm so hysterical, I just snapped and farted!
Sorry! I'll get me coat!

Redland12 · 14/06/2018 20:57

OMG! I'm babysitting right now for a friend and I'm sure I'm going to wake them up! I'm crying with laughter. My stomach is aching,

Wishingiwaslucky47 · 14/06/2018 20:57

OMG I’m only on page 12 I have been trying to read this thread for the past 2 hours, but I just can’t stop laughing. Seriously this is the funniest thing I’ve read in ages.

I suffer from IBS too, can you tell me how to snap and fart, it may relieve the pain, is it a skilled technique you’ve learned lol.
I mean you know it’s better to have an empty house rather than a bad tenant 😂😂😂
