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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

Oh OP, first of all, good for you! Second of all, don't listen to that turtle dick. Your health and life quality is a lot more important than someone who would leave over a small shift in the relationship. I know lots of exciting sober people. Good luck on your road to recovery. :D

Obviously he's the boring one if he thinks getting drunk is the only way to have a good time.

You'll do better with a guy who's not a loser honey. Good for you for taking care of yourself.

Your boyfriend should know there are plenty of ways to bring out your fun. Like going to Dave and Busters.

Sounds like an arse who is as shallow as a puddle. Hold your head up high and be happy that you have taken control of your life. Well done!

Good on you; you'd lose more if you became an alcoholic.

I know exactly how you feel. My father's side of the family is also prone to drinking. As a result, most of them are fat, broke, plagued with health problems, and have had at least one child out of wedlock/before turning 18. Don't worry about the ex-boyfriend. Your sobriety is more important. If he wants to prevent boredom this way, it's his life and his liver. Don't give up!

My extended family was plagued by alcohol as well until they wised up. They never looked back.

How can you be "prone to drinking"? It's not a disease.

If your family were drinkers too, you would know that indeed alcoholism is a real disease!!
