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?

I normally roll my eyes at all the ‘omg I laughed so hard’ posts but in this thread I think they are totally justified. I should not have read this right before going for a swim... I kept chuckling to myself in the pool!

OP, you really don’t like him. I think you should call it a day.

Hey OP, when you get really angry, the steam is meant to blow out of your EARS (!!)

Hey OP. Your teacher has made very rude comments about women and persons with disabilities.

It does sound like your ex bf has some issues of some sort, did you ask him why he woke you to say "it is 2 am, is that alright?"

So it's not a typo then. Even better 😂😂😂

Ofa how lovely and understanding of you.

DH keeps looking over at me.

If I get stressed my IBS can manifest some malevolent auras at times so I can see the snap n' gas happening. DP and I work well though, I've never angry farted at him but I am 99% sure we would both laugh which would make more squeak out defuse the situation. That or he would run away and I'd win by default.

The pp is literally funnier than the original

Op, I really don't think your DP deserves to be mocked and ridiculed over the internet for ultimately just wanting to spend time with you. You clearly are a bit irritated by him so why are you still seeing him? You've not said one nice thing about him.

I'm not into martial arts, and if someone said karate, I'd think Bruce Lee. Give the poor guy a break

To be fair to the OP I’ve taken children I’ve nannied for To Karate and the classes are quite serious and the children are expected to behave and not mess around. The instructor in my last charges class was very strict.

Tbh it sounds like you really don’t like your boyfriend so why not just end things.

let your BF take this abuse and then denied he was your Boyfriend! . Shame on you. Shame on you , you nasty farting bitch.

So are you going to end it OP? You really don't sound like you like him very much, in any of your posts. There's not hint of affection towards him. So why keep at it? Do both of you a favour and end it.

This thread has made me late for work...I'll have to forgo my shower and hope nobody gets too close to me today...otherwise I may have to snap and fart, to explain the odour 😂😂😂

I'm literally crying so hard the tears are running down my leg! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Snapped and farted

I once saw an interview with a journalist who'd interviewed Colonel Gaddafi. He said that all the way through, Gaddafi kept making eye contact then farting loudly in some weird display of dominance.

Farting in an aggressive manner can be powerful

@parellelreality
It's a mad old world int it?

I think you should be embarrassed about your own attitude OP, and that of your instructor. BF sounds like he's really making an effort, instructor has been told that he'd picked on him but carries on regardless, and you sound unpleasant (and that's even before you fart).

I'd stop fart-arsing about OP and shit or get off the potty.

weeping!

I guess this is another day where I won't be terribly productive...

.

I really want to see a photo of him in his dragon tshirt, I think it was a great idea, I would have thought of Bruce lee too , your boyfriend sounds fun, yes he maybe a bit different and have a different sense of humour than most but who cares (well you obviously care). I dated a similar man when I was younger, he had ASD traits, used to wear shirts with funny things on and had a odd style of dancing when we went clubbing, he was the nicest guy ever and I’m still friends with him now, sadly he’s still single but I’m sure some day he will meet someone who appreciates his quirkiness.

Does IBS stand for Irate Bowel Snapping?

OMG!

He was dead excited about the shirt and took me aside before the class to show me it saying "instructor will like this! It's got a dragon on it!" confused so I said "how do you know he likes dragons?" So he said "Bruce Lee!" - see this is what I mean, who would even have that train of thought?!

I would

Most of the behaviour, I wouldn't have a problem with. But waking you up to tell you the time? My god it sounds like a sitcom.

Does he have a HE-Man duvet cover and is he Father Dougal?

Wow, what a day yesterday was.

All over the UK, there were tears of laughter and people wetting themselves. People with drinks shooting through their noses. People with pissed-off partners wondering what the hell was so funny. People crying with laughter on public transport. People late to pick up their kids from school. People having to leave their work stations and find an empty meeting room in which to guffaw. People trying desperately to compose themselves to sit for exams and for visits to see hospital consultants. Heavily pregnant women screaming with mirth. People smiling in their sick-beds for the first time in a week. People chortling in the swimming pool. It continued all through the night, with beds shaking to silent laughter.

Oh, what fun we had!
