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?

Snapped and farted 😂😭

[SissySpacekAteMyHamster]

My kids do martial arts (boys and girl). If my daughter was made to feel like a second class citizen by an arsehole like that instructor using girl as an insult, I'd never send any of my kids there.

The instructor is not professional and he needs to realise he isn't in 1979 anymore!

DD3, 8, does karate. She came out of her class in hysterics one evening because the instructor had farted during the lesson. I don't know if he snapped as well. #nothelpful

[buddahbelly]

Is it too early to nominate this for classics

so sorry OP. Best line ever.

This will go down in history for me along the I posed on my skirt at work today - in particular the lady who was being carried out of her house on a stretcher and kept on farting and apologising to the paramedic, im so sorry Alan. his name wasn't Alan which made it funnier.

*Im so juvenile.

Instructor sounds like a cock and you sound like you're being a right bitch. Some people laugh to cover nervousness - I do - and by the sounds of it between you and the instructor he was well and truly berated.

Just end the relationship, he can do better

[AbsolutelyBeginning]

Stop farting and make a decision about whether this is the right partner for you

OMG! I could just hear Claire Rayner giving that kind of advice in her agony aunt column...

[PlateOfBiscuits]

I couldn’t read further than ’I snapped and farted’. I am a child. We’re all children.

Do you even like him?

Also...
....did you really fart?

[StorminaBcup]

Ok so as a serious point, your boyfriend has disrupted the class by arsing around. That's going to get really annoying for everyone else regardless of how your instructor responded to him.

I'd ditch him for waking me up at 2am and again at 4am though.

[ItsNachoCheese]

Im poorless at snapped and farted best typo ever 😂😂😂

[starfishmummy]

Not very professional of the instructors.

[PlateOfBiscuits]

OMG buddahbelly I had forgotten that!

I’m so sorry Alan.

[NoughtDegreesNought]

Where to start?

Your BF's gym kit sounds very like my own, surely nobody these days buys that shite about ballet being for wimps, and it's worrying how you, as a woman, seem to idolise this cockwomble of an instructor who has such a dim view of your sex? Also, IMO these up-their-own-arse martial arts types need someone to giggle at them more often, it might stop them taking themselves so fucking seriously.

You redeemed yourself by making me howl with the farty snap, but only because of that.

[Sortofcool]

I would be embarrassed too if my BF behaved like that. Your instructor sounds mean but id not want to be around someone giggling and being daft in that situation. Same in the cafe if he was talking really loudly and saying odd things. You don’t sound compatible at all.

[liz70]

"poorless"

Does that mean you are rich?

[hungryhippie]

omg, im actually crying laughing at "snapped and farted". My kids are looking at me like im insane

[Sortofcool]

I also think that the paint splattered old joggers werent appropriate either. He’s not doing DIY or lounging about at home. He didn’t need proper gym or exercise clothes but anything paint spattered should be for round the house. Unless you’re a decorator in which case it’s reasonable.

[cherrytrees123]

You sound really unpleasant. I feel sorry for your boyfriend. He wants to spend time with you and just make him feel like shit. You and your instructor should get together - you are both unpleasant bullies and your boyfriend deserves better. What is wrong with you?

[Candlelight123]

Look out for the boyfriends thread ... I tried a karate class to bond with my girlfriend, I was mortified when she snapped and farted in the class. AIBU to dump her

What was 'farted' supposed to say by the way??! Chuckling away at this so childish

[liz70]

"Snapping and Farting" - this summer's hottest dance craze.

[KurriKurri]

I wouldn't go to any club where bad behaviour is equated with 'being a girl' Instructor sounds a complete arsehole.

I would guess your BF laughed because he felt awkward and embarrassed. He's overweight and hasn't done martial arts before, he probably felt self conscious. And why didn;t you tell him what was appropriate clothes if he hasn't been before.

I think you should go your separate ways - doesn;t sound as if you are a good match.

[Neptunesgiraffe]

Omg, "snapped and farted" just gets funnier the more I read it.
Am sitting at home by myself laughing like a hyena!

[Drchinnery]

You should probably leave him before he irritates you to the point you keep having a go and end up ruining his confidence. At least let him be with someone who likes him for being himself rather than putting him down for it all the time.

[SnappedAndFarted18]

Sorry OP you lost me at snapped and farted I can't stop snorting & crying with laughter 🙈😂😂😂😂
