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 was learning judo for defecating purposes so nobody would mess with me.
My partner showed me the urinating throw, but I hit back with a tampax punch.
Just trying to match your “snapped and farted” line, classic 😂

Sounds a toxic relationship to me.. You clearly don’t respect him.
The Karate instructor sounds odd, too. Not very professional to diss students like that these days at least!

[ConquestEmpireHungerPlague]

Blimey, who resuscitated snapped and farted? I'm another one surprised it was that long ago. Hopefully OP's poor boyfriend found a nicer karate class (and girlfriend) and is a ripped black belt by now.

[Tubs11]

sounds like he is easy going and fun, but maybe that is not the type of man you want to be with? Only you can decide that but please don't make his life a misery for being so free spirited and up for a laugh

i would be making a complaint about your martial arts instructor, that language and tone is uncalled for in 2021! Clearly it was nervous laughter that made your partner respond that way

[Namechanged2021]

@Tubs11 This didn't happen in 2021 this thread is several years old

[Tubs11]

@namechange2021...realised that as i pressed sent

@Amanduh

The instructor sounds like a horrible bully and you don’t sound much better.

Yeah I think so too.
Not nice. You have to embrace someone's character largely if you want to be with them.
Is this post a wind up because it's very shame-y.

[Bingiswhiney]

My god, crying with laugher about ‘Snapped and farted’ my toddler is just looking at me like ‘Eh?’

[JimmyTheBrave]

Hahaha I remember reading this thread back when it was posted, so funny then and now!

[Schoolisback1973]

Thanks for resuscitating this! Just cheered me up no end after the miserable day I am having

[Candodad]

You realise this post will be read by the original poster any time now and be met with the faithful words....... “and reader, I married him”
😂🤣

[VampireTheBuffetSlayer]

Now if someone could just resurrect the Sistine Chapel thread. Now that was funny

[WeLovePeaSoup]
