Love, Money, Alcohol and Awkward: Cut your losses

Cut your losses

By Sober_smashley - 16/06/2023 10:00

Today, my alcoholic boyfriend, who's in jail for violating his conditional bond, told me I'd better not have even one drop of alcohol while he's gone. Oh, and he expects $250 of commissary each week. FML

Today, my now ex-boyfriend called me from jail, expecting me to bail him out. He'd tried to buy a load of booze at the liquor store and came up short by ten cents. The cashier refused to be short-changed, and he figured the only reasonable reaction was to punch her in the face. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me grief about my drinking. This would be fine, if he were sober. FML

Today, my fiancé refused to talk to me because I'm "an alcoholic". I only started drinking like this after we moved in together and he brought me alcohol every day, because he's an alcoholic. FML

Today, my boyfriend tried to confront me about my “drinking problem”. He claims that the last time he was at my place, I had a full bottle of rum and now it’s gone. He hasn’t spent the night at my house in over two months and it was a half bottle of Malibu. FML

Today, after I was surprised by my husband announcing he was coming off the drink and going to the gym to get in shape, I found out that I've been such a fool, as it turns out the pre-workout shakes he kept making contained about 5 shots of vodka, so he could drink at home without me moaning. FML

Today, my boyfriend went to jail for a DUI. In a panic, I rushed to go bail him out. On the way to the jail I was stopped for running a red light. I soon joined my boyfriend in jail with my very own DUI charge. FML

Driven to drink

Today, I caught my boyfriend trying to dispose of several empty alcohol bottles, leading to a discussion how dating me and putting up with my insanity has given him a drinking problem just so he can get through the day. Me catching him seemed to be the wake up call he needed, because he dumped me. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because of my drunken antics. My reaction? Pour myself a stiff drink. FML

Today, I realized I willingly support my boyfriend's alcoholism, because the only time he says "I love you" is when he's blind drunk. FML

Did you laugh at him? I hope you laghed at him. And started thinking of, just perhaps, looking for someone who won't try to use/control you.

Sounds like the perfect time to let him hit rock bottom, tbh

OP, you’d really have to be pretty dumb to supply the jailbird $250 a week. Dump him and forget him. Change the locks in case the idiot ever gets out of jail and move on with your life. I hope you don’t have any children by him…

a real man would never have to tell his girl what to do. he thinks that by telling you what to do, he can keep you in line. just ghost his ass and walk away laughing. it's his own fault he f****d up. he can deal with his own consequences. maybe his momma can get him commissary. not your problem. just be happy on you own.
