Today, I told my boyfriend that I was going to stop drinking, since I have been having some problems with alcohol and some of my relatives are alcoholics. He later broke up with me, saying he couldn't be with someone who "chose to be boring." FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my girlfriend of three years dumped me because my refusal to go out drinking or get wasted at parties with her makes me "too boring". Thing is, I'm a recovering alcoholic. I'm over one year sober and I don't want to risk relapsing again, yet she expects me to choose between my health and her idea of fun. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because of my drunken antics. My reaction? Pour myself a stiff drink. FML
Today, my boyfriend of nearly 4 years, with whom I have a baby, broke up with me. His reason? His best friend said he didn't like drinking with guys who were "tied down". FML
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, I told my boyfriend that I was going to start controlling my drinking and he told me pretty much that he didn’t think I could do it. FML
Today, I broke up with my long-term boyfriend, because his alcohol problem is so bad that he drank his way through an old bottle of Tequila, which belonged to my mum, and that I'd kept after she committed suicide. FML
Today, my group of friends officially cut ties with me. According to them, my girlfriend "has me whipped" and made me "boring", all because she helped me break free from my alcoholism and finally get sober (two years and eight months running). They told me to call them when I'm "ready to be fun again". 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 girlfriend broke up with me because I've been "spending too much time at the bar." I've been sober for 2 years. FML
Today, I was invited to a party, but I didn't attend because my boyfriend would be disappointed with me. Instead, I spent the night with him watching movies. At the end of the night, he broke up with me because I wasn't fun enough. FML

He is the boring one because he thinks you need alcohol to have a good time!

I'm sorry, OP. That was incredibly tactless and stupid on his part. You made the right decision for yourself.

Good job OP! It's hard to live up to the Jersey shore lifestyle

Not gonna lie but it sounds like you are much better off without him. He sounds like an rude asshole.

You should have known better than to be born into a family of alcoholics.

How exactly does one control the family they are born into?

I have no idea how old you are but you have made a brave and extremely mature decision that few in your position would have the foresight to make. He would be the one complaining in a few years time - living with an alcoholic is no fun at all. If he can't support you in the prevention then you can be sure he would have run like hell when it came to the cure - that's always much harder. It may not seem like it now but he did you a favour.

Yeah, that's probably a good thing though. I mean if alcohol is becoming a problem for you, hanging around someone who thinks they need to drink to have a good time PROBABLY isn't in your best interest.

Forget that dumb-****. You deserve someone willing to support you and will PROBABLY need said support, considering your family history. Now go find yourself a MAN. And GOOD LUCK :-D
