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 should've mentioned IBS in the OP to stop the questioning and silliness
Oh no OP, definitely not Grin

MeMyShelfandIkea · 14/06/2018 23:02

Does IBS stand for Irate Bowel Snapping?

Ipdipme · 14/06/2018 23:02

@SomeKnobend

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

You win the internet today Grin Grin Grin

Pandora79 · 14/06/2018 23:02

So you suspect he has aspergers and call him a fruit loop. I hope to god you are a troll.

Rocinante1 · 14/06/2018 23:02

He sounds like an idiot. Honestly, I think he'd just make me cringe. It all sounds rather icky.

ShesABelter · 14/06/2018 23:02

I applaud you op this is a really good one and mn havent even commented. I have ibs too I just laughed so much at snapped and farted, repeatedly every time anyone said it I woke my dh up and nearly farted. Please keep this story coming, tears are blinding me from laughing so much.

TheFaerieQueene · 14/06/2018 23:03

Oh come on OP. Please say you farted again. Pretty please.

dancinfeet · 14/06/2018 23:04

@trujay shouting FIG!!! finally stopped laughing and this started me off again.

Somethingsfallendown · 14/06/2018 23:05

I must remember to snap and fart -is that like the bend and snap? Grin sorry I can't give any sensible advice after yr fart comment.... best thing on here ever!! GrinGrin

UnlawfulBananaPeeler · 14/06/2018 23:05

I’ve had to get out of bed so I don’t wake my partner I’m laughing so much . Some of these comments have me howling.

I also don’t think he’s the man for you.

Lostoldusername · 14/06/2018 23:05

I haven't read the full thread - just the first page but after reading snapped and farted I am now laughing with tears running down my face and I've just put my fake tan on so in the morning, I'm going to have tear streaks down my face. Thanks.

Tangled59 · 14/06/2018 23:07

@Lostoldusername
Mate you are in for a treat, i urge you to read the entire thread

mummastripes · 14/06/2018 23:08

This is my favourite thread in a long time 😂😂😂😂

Lostoldusername · 14/06/2018 23:12

tangled I'm not sure my fake tan could cope!

siwel123 · 14/06/2018 23:12

Leave him OP. You calling him a fruit loop and shagging him off isn't what a nice person does

RainbowGlitterFairy · 14/06/2018 23:12

He does sound embarrassing, but I think you over reacted slightly. Waking me to tell me the time would have been the end of it for me though, who the fuck wants to be repeatedly woken like that? DH getting up for the loo is enough to piss me off some nights.

Moneyissue2 · 14/06/2018 23:17

Should have mentioned ibs in first post to stop the questioning and silliness??

I love you op

snapandfartaftermartialarts · 14/06/2018 23:17

Fuck me I cried laughing. Come back OP we need you 😂

Goldmonday · 14/06/2018 23:18

Omg I'm laughing so much the bed is shaking and I've woken up my husband.

I can't even really comment on the content of post because I'm stuck at "i snapped and farted"

RachelTeeth · 14/06/2018 23:19

This thread is a fucking disaster 😄
I have IBS that’s heavily influenced by my anxiety, I must start mentioning my bowels in posts, it really adds that special touch.

OP, just dump him (no pun intended), what’s the point of this farce?

Moneyissue2 · 14/06/2018 23:20

Does he piss on chairs and cum on assignments? Does your dog tell him to piss off?

roseyposeyshmosey · 14/06/2018 23:20

I must admit that i did initially think that db was randomly shouting 'dog in the night 🙈

OP does he wake you up because one of your farts has woken him up?

snapandfartaftermartialarts · 14/06/2018 23:20

Ahhhh you're back and taking away the comedic value. Now I think you're horrible.
Leave him be.
In all honestly someone who dishes or punishment farts after martial arts shouldn't be calling anyone a "fruit loop"

RachelTeeth · 14/06/2018 23:21

shagging him off isn’t what a niceness person does

Sounds like something most men would consider nice? Getting shagged off. 😂😂😂
