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

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 know the feeling, my girlfriend does the same. But what eased my feelings about it is that drunk people are always honest. Don't forget that the next time he's drunk and says he loves you, OP.

you are very incorrect and you are a horrible person if you continue to allow this to continue. get your girlfriend help and while you're at it seek some for yourself dear.....

Get some kind of counseling, or get a self help book, or go to an Al-Anon meeting... But, seriously, if you are only getting what you need from him when he's drunk, then you need to see why you don't like yourself as much as you should and move on. I know that's pretty glib advice coming from someone just typing here, but, seriously, been there, done that. You're better off without him.

are you that insecure that you have to feed your boyfriend alcohol to get him to say I love you? while I do not know you, you deserve someone who loves you for who you are and not because he is cocked out of his mind. respect yourself girl........

maybe he does love you but something emotionally prevents him from saying it sober

At least he says it

That sucks OP. Try and find a family support group for yourself - and him. In the UK there is Families Anonymous and Adfam - I don't know about the US but do some googleing. Take care

Are you sure you're actually dating him?

Correct me if I am wrong but don't you deserve it? Last I checked you were allowed to choose who your boyfriend was.

We'll at least you know he loves you because people usually say what they mean while they are drunk but I think you should put your ego aside and help him. If he got counseling he may end up saying it sober and you'd be saving his life.
