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?

It looks like we're all to immature for the OP! I don't think she finds farting funny either 😂😭

AForegoneConclusion · 14/06/2018 14:11

I don't think the OP is coming back.
Or if she does, she is going to be so mad at us for laughing. Get ready for the snapping and farting of your life people.

RadioDorothy · 14/06/2018 14:11

This reminds me of that thread where the OP "urinated in the chair". It took several pages of snorting, guffawing, crying, name changes and witty poetry for the OP to come back and say she meant "turned in the chair."

A comedy typo is essential for gathering a lot of posts quickly.

AbsolutelyBeginning · 14/06/2018 14:11

I've now got 10 mins to pull myself together before my appointment - help!

Hope you're not seeing a proctologist Grin

Weeping...

CaffeineAndCrochet · 14/06/2018 14:12

Guessing it was snapped and barked.

Instructor sounds awful to use girl as an insult. But OP as bad by equating possibly having Aspergers to there being something 'wrong' with him.

kaytee87 · 14/06/2018 14:13

Op please tell us what snapped and farted was meant to be?!

He shouts 'dog!' at you at 2 & 4 in the morning?

It does sound like there's something not right about him.

SayNoToCarrots · 14/06/2018 14:14

Dog's her name kaytee you pigeon.

WhiteCoyote · 14/06/2018 14:15

The more I read of this thread the more I can’t control my laughing Grin the neighbours are probably wondering what’s going on.

You obviously have nothing to contribute to this mans life, or he to yours op so the answer should be simple.

kaytee87 · 14/06/2018 14:15

😂😂😂😂 that makes slightly more sense! But still, why is he shouting at that time?!

ThisCannotBe · 14/06/2018 14:16

😂😂😂😂 "you pigeon" new favourite insult.

Andthatsthat · 14/06/2018 14:16

I am having the shittiest of shit weeks....then you come along op with your snapping and farting and take all my woes away!!!

I salute you snappiest fartiest one ☝️ you’ve turned Thursday bright again!

kaytee87 · 14/06/2018 14:17

🙈 at least he's not shouting 'pigeon' at her!

MartagonLilies · 14/06/2018 14:17

Grin I've never actually laughed out loud at a thread before. At best, maybe a chuckle or 2. I just can't compose myself.

What's the dog that says piss off thread?

esk1mo · 14/06/2018 14:17

this reminds me of a thread a few months ago Grin

“i urinated on my chair and said..”

Barkface · 14/06/2018 14:17

Joining the masses on pmsl at snapping and fartingGrin

But I can't understand how OP came back for a second post about middle of the night shouting, and didn't address the most important issue everyone has asked about!!

OP, if you're about please come back. Either way, ditch him, you clearly don't want to spend time with him around others or seem to like him very much, or be understanding of his "quirks". And nobody likes someone farting at them.

Jimmers · 14/06/2018 14:18

I’m on the bus. Crying with laughter. People are moving away from me...

Snapped and farted... 🤣🤣

Snappedandfarted2018 · 14/06/2018 14:18

Im dying here i cant stop laughing thanks for the username op!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 14/06/2018 14:18

I think the instructor sounds horrible too - using ‘girl’ and ‘ballet’ as derogatory terms, and bullying a new class member.

And the OP has sided with the instructor against her boyfriend - he needs a nicer girl friend!

NoughtDegreesNought · 14/06/2018 14:19

Scruffy old boyfriend
Failed with his kick
OP lost composure
And let one rip

Lightsong · 14/06/2018 14:19

It made me think of that thread too esk1mo
