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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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!

how can he trust you if youre so inconsistent with decisions I'd have done the same thing

I don't see this - everyone is entitled to a "light-bulb moment" and it's your partner who should be there to support you if you reach one. If the OP were repeatedly on and off the wagon then I can understand the BF but we have no evidence of that.

I suppose it's inconsistent to realize that you're doing the stupid thing and start doing the smart thing. However, exactly because of this inconsistency organic species have evolved.

Lady, don’t worry about that loser. He did you a favor by leaving you. If he needs to be drunk to be having a good time, he is probably someone very dull in the everyday life anyway. He should be on the contrary supporting you fully in that decision and be proud of you. He is simply stupid, immature and selfish. My fiancé enjoys getting drunk once and while with his mates and I don’t drink at all. He has no problem with that. So don’t worry, not all men are like your ex. Good luck.

most people who don't drink at all, are boring. moderation my friend go out and drink at least 3 times a month, and go get your retarded boyfriend back.

#58 > That is one stupid statement if I ever saw one. Alcohol is not necessary to have fun. You gotta be very boring and childish to think so. I have great nights out without having a single drop of booze. And most of my friends do drink. Moderation has not its place when there is an issue of potential addiction and OP is afraid she might not be able to control her drinking if she keeps going. She is a very strong woman for realizing it and is better off without that sad excuse of a boyfriend she had.

Life is not about YOLO it's about doing what makes you happy.

This is the only comment I've seen containing YOLO that did not make me want to jump off a cliff.

Alcohol == not boring. Logic, my friends; pure logic. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
