My partner constantly embarrases me in front of others, I used to laugh along at the daft things he did and said but now I actually dread going anywhere with him. When we go to the cinema he laughs louder than everyone else (even when it isnt a comedy, the last one was a horror film and he was the ONLY one laughing!), he screams and makes daft noises when anything happens like "ooooo" when someone is hit in the film or "whoa...whoa..." if someone is falling etc. It probably sounds funny to anyone reading this but I realy do find it embarrasing. We always end up being the couple that everyone turns around to look at and I can see them whispering to each other about it and taking the mick.
Another example is when we're in the supermarket, he'll drop and smash things by messing around (like last time he pretended to throw a jar and dropped it) and he says stupid stuff to the people that work there (like the last time we bought some condoms he asked the woman on the till if she could recommend them!?!). Last time we were in toys' r us he threw something at me and then darted down the ailses running away howling and hiding behind sheves, he even started grabbing things off the shelves and holding them in front of him as if they were shields...he was acting as if we were having a playfight...promptly running into an old man and almost knocking him over. Last sunday we were in a packed lift and a woman happened to mention to her friend that she hated lifts...he then began jumping up and down making it shake all over, I felt so stupid and she was not very impressed either.
I honestly dont think he realises how daft he looks half the time, Ive seen shop keepers turn around and start taking the mick out of him as we leave a shop, the first time I took him to meet my mum he stretched and knocked the lightshade down and then broke it altogether in a hurry to put it back up .
Do any of you have partners like this? I want to say something to him but like I said, I dont think he realises he's doing it!
