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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

Two things: 1) STOP YELLING AT ME AND NEGLECTING TO USE PUNCTUATION 2) Just stop commenting. Please, for the love of God, just stop.

Good for you. Don't sweat it. It's his loss, not yours.

He is a ******* loser for needing alcohol to be "exciting".

Sounds like the kind of boyfriend who is a bigger problem than the alcohol, may even cause the drinking.

Good luck! Alcoholism runs in my family too but I still drink. Not as much as them though. Forget that loser. Its better that you know how much of an asshole he really is now than in 5 years time if you ended up with a kid together.

Your ex-boyfriend is a total dick. If he needs alcohol to have excitement, you're much better off without him even if you've never drank in your life. Good for you for stopping drinking!

Your ex-boyfriend is a total dick. Even if you never drank in your life, it's stupid that he'd need alcohol for any form of excitement. Good for you for quitting!

You're obviously hiking different trails, so he's done you a big favor. Try to be as grateful for it now as you will be later.

You don't need an SO who's going to keep you from doing the things you feel you need to do to become a better person. Unfortunately a lot of people who decide that they're going to make major lifestyle changes like stop drinking, stop taking drugs, lose weight, find religion, get therapy, etc., etc., find that they lose more than a few friends along the way. There are also a lot of people in your life who have a lot invested in the "old you" who are going to try to keep you from changing. Don't pay any attention to them. (Although that gets really tough if those people are family members.)
