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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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, 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 long distance girlfriend of almost two years broke up with me because I didn't like her drinking and driving. Her reasoning was, "I don't go out that often so what's the problem?" or "I'm safe when I drive drunk." Yeah? How many drunk drivers thought the same then wrapped their car around a tree? FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because of my drunken antics. My reaction? Pour myself a stiff drink. FML
Today, my girlfriend of two years broke up with me so she could "let her life flow in the direction she wants." Apparently that includes smoking, stealing, and making out with other girls at parties. The best part? She wants to get back together "after she matures and gets it out of her system." FML
Today, my parents lectured me about how my girlfriend will ruin my life, because she's a single mom, a recovering alcoholic, and has chronic health issues. Apparently, I should be with their friend's rude, trashy daughter, who can't keep a job, and goes on a drunken, drug-fueled bender every other week. I'm 31. 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 openly admitted to me that she wouldn't have gone out with me if she hadn't been drunk. 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

It hurts now, but she did you a favor. She doesn't care about your best interests and won't join you in sobriety. If you're strong enough to get sober while still with an alcoholic, something tells me you'll be just fine

I’ve been there. It’s been 25 years for me. Her true feelings were shown. Keep going on the soberness, I know it’s hard, but it is manageable.

I know it’s easier said than done but she obviously finest have your best interest at heart. Probably time to find a new gf. Or just focus on yourself, good luck dude.

Thing is if she's been with you for 3 years and you've only been sober for one, she's seen you at your worst. Why the hell would she want that to be a thing again?

Maybe she liked him better drunk, or maybe she’s threatened by his self-improvement. Partners who are saboteurs are the worst.

She is obviously not the one. I would move on I am sure you can find someone that will be considerate of your needs.

Sounds like she has the problem. You're better off without that kind of toxicity.

I don't know about this, but where the hell is Morganville? Two FMLs in a row about drunken debauchery in Morganville! I gotta make a road trip because I'm "too boring" right now.

You’re better off without a toxic person like that in your life.

It's good that she dumped you. She's clearly a very selfish person. Congrats on being sober!!! That's awesome. I hope you find someone who is kind, compassionate, and supportive.
