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?

This is the most I've laughed at in an age.

Snapped and farted, then off again at martial arts and then "not this time, no".

lexiewrites · 16/06/2018 14:50

Well I've just woken baby up laughing, thanks all.

OP your instructor isn't 'old school' he's a sexist bully. Oh and a knob. I'm assuming you get on as you also sound like a knob. Please leave your boyfriend so he can find someone pleasant with a sense of humour.

What becomes of the broken-hearted?
Mortified, then snapped and farted
I know I've got to find
Some way to break this wind
Lou-oudly ...

If this is true, OP must be great at her martial farts class:

furandchandeliers · 16/06/2018 15:30

It's even funnier that it wasn't a typo Grin

YouSnapAndThenYouFart · 16/06/2018 15:37

I loved every single one of the OP's posts as she steadfastly tried to stick to her point of posting and not give the overwhelming hilarity of the 'fart' ref any more attention.

And the more she only briefly alluded to it the worse ti got and more we all just roared with laughter at said mentioned fart. Grin

Great stuff - please do another OP.

NoIWontDoWhatYouSay · 16/06/2018 15:38

It was made up so OP is probably banned.

SnappyFartingPigeon · 16/06/2018 15:42

It was made up so OP is probably banned

Banned? After bringing so much joy to so many? Say it ain't so Shock

liz70 · 16/06/2018 15:44

"OP is probably banned"

Gone with the Wind?

SnappyFartingPigeon · 16/06/2018 15:46

@liz70 Oh, Liz Grin

liz70 · 16/06/2018 15:50

Dear OP, so sadly departed allegedly
We're so glad you snapped and farted
Your tale of furious flatulence
Near gave me incontinence.

PunishmentSnart · 16/06/2018 15:58

gone with the wind

I’m off again Grin

SnappyFartingPigeon · 16/06/2018 15:59

Ashamed of your boyfriend
and snapping and farting
We've all had such fun
It's so sad to be parting.

So I'll just say goodbye
If you must now go off
Post another thread please
If again you blow off.
