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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

I marked "you deserve it", it being someone better.

I have been in this situation, no one can tell you what to do with your relationship but you really should find some al anon meetings to go to. I swear they saved my life and my sanity. You deserve a support system of people who will understand and never judge you.

Congrats! You're killing him just so you can hear "I love you". He's probably lying. You need therapy just as much as he does.

Let him go... if he can't express his love for you while he's sober, I can't imagine what other kinds of communication issues you might have as a couple. As much as it sucks, people don't change much. There is someone better for you out there somewhere. You deserve true happiness.

Clearly you don't love him back so what are you reaching for?

You are truly a shallow and sad human being. He needs help and you recognize that but you keep enabling him because your insecure.
