Would you find this wierd?

[passporttofreedom]

I've been seeing someone for about 3 months. I'm on guard all the time as my last partner turned out to be a bit of a nut so it could be that I'm just being paranoid.

But he was due to come around tonight as the kids were at their dads and he said he'd bring a "brilliant" dvd to watch that I'd find "hilarious".

So I got a few drinks in, we ordered a takeaway and this dvd was called happy tree friends. I said I'd never heard of it and he said "oh, you'll love it, I've brought 3 of them

Anyway he put it on and this is what it was

I saw through 30 seconds of it before asking if he was taking the piss but he was litrally creased up laughing, tears in eyes and everything. He kept it on for a good half hour (pissing himself laughing throughout) before realising that I wasn't going to "warm to it" and reluctantly turning it off.

The whole thing just annoyed me tbh. For one thing it was a rare night together (due to kids etc), for another thing it was just ridiculous and lastly, he must have known I wouldn't have liked that.

I suppose I'm going to come across like a spoilt brat but he just came across like an immature twat tonight and I can't be arsed with that a 2nd time.

Am I over-reacing? (it wasn't just the dvd, it was the OTT laughing, the big deal he made about it as if it was the latest blockbuster etc)

PTF

Where did you meet him?. What do your friends say about him?

This man is no good for you either. He's yet another manchild/cocklodger.

My counsel for what its worth; love your own self for a change and live on your own for a year. Women who come across as having low self esteem/self worth can attract such idiots in droves.

The cartoon is rubbish. Combination of irritating Disney type creatures and music and violence. I don't find violence funny. I don't think a bloke has to like the same films etc as you but if my bloke thought this was a brilliant dvd I'd be worried I was going out with someone with a 14 year old's taste in films.
It's also obviously not a film you watch with your girlfriend which does make him score poorly on the emotional intelligence stakes.
"Shall we play" sounds very juvenile as well. I'd be showing him the door.

i thought the bellend comment was hilarious. havent heard that word for yrs.

i have also learned another word

cocklodger, this is a fucking great word.!!

'poking me every 5 minutes to say "watch this bit" '

LMAO

Attila that is fab advice and i second it .
PTF, you're obviously too classy for him.

'although returning to this, on second thoughts maybe I was harsh saying 'bellend' tbh. Perhaps he felt a bit embarrassed when you didn't laugh at his dvd, and then this embarrassment was compounded when he had a big poo in your toilet.'

Harsh? Not harsh enough, IMO.

Embarrassed, my arse.

He belched and farted throughout the entire meal, acted put out when she didn't find the shite DVD funny, then helped himself to watch stuff he wanted on her TV without even asking if she liked it, acted put out when she expressed disinterest in that (this is ALL GOING ON IN THE OP'S OWN HOME) and then wanted sex?

Seriously, why give anyone that obnoxious and fuckwittish the time of day, much less the benefit of the doubt?

Here's a bit of advice, OP: start a new relationship. With yourself. Learn to enjoy your own company first, then branch out and start really savouring the company of your friends and relatives.

Then and only then you'll learn to show people like this the door during the belching and farting bit and at least salvage the rest of the evening with a warm bath and a good wine.

happy tree friends was in the most watched youtube videos yesterday. The power of mumsnet?

M dh pointed out that the correct response to, "Shall we play?" is, in fact, "No: time to clean and put away!"

well he must either be very rich or hung like a donkey. otherwise can't understand why you didnt just kick him out with a do not return card.

I would not find this weird, I would be as grateful as can be to the relationship gods that after three months they had taken the time to show me what he is like in one evening

well i think the cartoon dvds were a bit odd

i looked at another one the lemonade one and in a warped way that was funnier

but it is the sort of thing you might send someone as a link in an email not actually sit down and watch

as for the belching etc well he sounds gross

and i am surprised it has taken 3 months for you to find out he is yuk

the lets play thing would be ok with me if that was how you talked to each other...nothing wrong with a bit of silliness

but you sound like you are awfully unimpressed so ding and next

just out of nosiness how old is he?

even if it was something that was really really tasteful and you didn't like it, it is fecking rude to be so miserable about it

you are only allowed to pull a strop like that after 15 years of marriage

so did you sleep with him? Or has he got the boot?

Just popping in to see what you decided? Did you open the door for a rapid exit, or have you made another decision. Whichever, hope you are feeling positive about it.
