Childish men

[Missgrumpynot]

I'm not talking about the lazy arsey man child who never lifts a finger.

I'm talking about the who's hiding in the corner trying to scare you 5-6 times even though you've told him to stop. The one who pokes/bites you when you're sitting on the sofa trying to watch telly. The one who tries to play fight/box when you're not in the mood. You cannot relax if this man is home, you're constantly on edge.

And when you tell him to stop, he tells you that you're boring, grumpy and there's "lots" of women who'd like a "fun" partner like him.

Anyone been in a relationship with someone like this?

No. He sounds awful, and if someone tried to bite me (wtf?) when I was watching telly I'd be livid.

My ex was a little bit like this. He used to jump out at me and sometimes playfully poke me etc. It wasn't constant though but sometimes would get on my nerves. I would just give him the 'look' and that was enough for him to stop. He was just genuinely a big kid though but if I told him to stop he would.
Sounds like your bloke is being a bit of a dick about it.

He's my ex now, but still I keep thinking about the things he used to say to me. He moved out couple months ago and is already with someone else. He was very EA and could never take NO for an answer.

Yeah sounds like he has massive issues and you are well rid. My ex definitely had massive issues (he actually turned out to be an alcoholic too). It comes as no surprise he's already with someone else OP.

Wtf...

My DP is immature. Likes a good fart, games, other boyish stuff. So I'm pretty tolerant of a childish bloke. In fact I like it.

But what you're describing isn't childish. Kids don't even do that. He sounds like a cat- BITING you? All the examples you've given are of either physically uncomfortable, painful, or behaviour intended to frighten you. I think you have a deeper issue that him being immature!!

Usually childish men act like teenagers, not toddlers....

Have you posted before?

Someone else posted a while ago about a bloke who couldn't stop talking in a silly voice and poking and play fighting. Very very odd. Might just be a coincidence.

My husband puts his finger in my mouth when I yawn to stop it and tells me I can't get annoyed because I taught him it (years ago, and haven't done it since). He even does it to the cat he thinks it's that hilarious.

Winds me up but worse things he could do.

That’s not childish, it’s controlling. He’s saying “ I want to make you feel uncomfortable, hear you say no , and then ignore you. “
It’s a power game. Well done on getting out.
Genuine playfulness is light and lyrical. I bet he said nasty things but was only joking.

Fucking 'ell. He would last 2 weeks with me. What an weird, irksome cunt.

Also a controlling bully.

LTB.

A weird irksome cunt - not AN (sorry.)

@Emma765 He does it to the cat..... that just made me snort 🤣

@dirtybadger there are clearly a few of these weirdos about!

No, never posted about this before. He used to have screaming matches with the kids, see who could scream or sing the highest. It was so loud, again would tell him to stop. And he would just keep doing it, I've learnt not to tell him to stop something, because the more I ask the more he'd do it. I've never met someone like this before, he used to make me feel like i was the weird one. Thank goodness he's gone!

Me and my partner do that. We find it funny.

@User1011 But does he do it to the cat? Am still laughing at that one.

Yep @userxx. When the cat yawns he puts his finger in the cat's mouth so he stops yawning. The cat thinks he's a knob.

Oh sorry i thought you were asking me 😂 it's too early.

@Emma765 🤣🤣🤣. I can picture the cat, rolling his eyes thinking FFS just let me yawn in peace. Bloody hilarious!

I do it to my cat too
Back to OP, your partner sounds so annoying I don’t even have a word for it. I cringed just reading about his ‘antics’. You poor thing.

My ex was like this, he was vile with it too like walking around the house and pulling his trousers down to moon at his kids and stuff like that. The more I got to know him and stranger he acted, like he was getting comfortable with me and the real him was coming out. I told him I thought he had mental health problems, turns out he does but refused treatment so the weirdness carried on, hence why he is now my ex and one of his kids has moved in with her friends mum as she couldn't bare to be near him any longer.

He bit you? WTAF is that about? I'd have dumped any weirdo who did that pronto.

I think there's a time and a place for messing about like that.
If the man can't recognise the right time and mood then he shouldn't be doing it.
Certainly shouldn't carry on after being told to pack it in.

Op that wasn't childish. My kids don't do those things. It's nasty and controlling. My exh used to do that sort of stuff to me. It always left me feeling like crap. His poking and tickling and 'playing' was always a bit too rough and hurt, then if I complained I was bing weak sensitive or miserable.

So glad I'm rid of him.

That's not childish - and I say this as someone married to a man who collects robots that turn into cars. That just sounds nasty and controlling - like he needs to remind you who's boss by getting in your space all the time. I breathed a sigh of relief when I read that he is your ex!

@userxx

We don’t have a cat.
I think we’ve done it to the kids.

Probably wouldn’t do it at a funeral or something though.
