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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was texting my boyfriend about yesterday, where he told me how much he loved me, and he wishes we lived closer. I asked him if he really meant it. Turns out he was drunk, and had no idea what he was talking about. FML
Today, I love my boyfriend just as I always have, but I'm realizing I don't know if we'll last because he's an angry drunk. He drinks frequently, and I've talked to him about it, only to be met with, "I'm a grown ass man." 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, 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, I realized that the only time my girlfriend ever calls me is when she's drunk. FML
Today, I caught my boyfriend messaging flirty texts with one of the nurses who cared for him while he was in inpatient rehabilitation at the VA Medical Center for alcohol abuse. Not to mention he is back drinking daily. I suck at relationships. FML
Today, I found out that when my boyfriend is drunk he pretends to be Bob the Builder. FML
Today, I reached a new low in my relationship: my boyfriend got so drunk I had to help him take a piss. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because of my drunken antics. My reaction? Pour myself a stiff drink. FML

If the only time he loves you is when he's drunk, you need let him go and find someone who truly cares about you.

There are two parts of this that are unhealthy.

Why do you feel the need to hurt someone in order to feel loved? Leave him. This isn't a loving relationship at all.

Sweetie, I know it sucks but you really need to get him help. :( This isnt healthy for you or him. Talk to him and get him help. Its better for the both of you in the end.

(48) Many alcoholics aren't physically abusive. The situation itself is really emotionally stressful but it is far better to encourage people to seek out al anon instead of blaming these victims for caring for someone with an addiction problem.

It's been over a year and a half of constant drama from my mother and her worthless drunken tumour of a boyfriend and it's a living Hell. Just the stupidity alone means you deserve it, the enabling just confirms it.

I'm sorry OP but you are so selfish it is unbelievable. If you really loved him you would be trying to get him some help. You do realise that alcohol addiction kills right? And the fact that he only says that he loves you when he's drunk means that he doesn't love you. Both of you would honestly be better off with other people.

You really deserve better than that. I've been there, it's not worth it.
