Them's the rules

Today, I found out the guy I've been pursuing for six months doesn't date people in recovery. That's literally how we met. FML
I agree, your life sucks 658
You deserved it 320

Same thing different taste

He’s trying to move on from the lifestyle, and sees it as a threat to recovery?

Because if you fall off the wagon, and most people do at least once in their recovery, it's a temptation for him to fall too. And vice versa. Dating another person in recovery doubles the odds that you will slip up. Plus you have to constantly watch out for both your sobrieties and essentially baby sit each other and that's an added stress

"Pursuing?" When people you meet in recovery begin stalking you, maybe you should make a policy of automatically rejecting people in recovery. Way to freak that guy out, creeper!
