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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

You know, he's probably somewhat of an alcoholic himself. Nevertheless, becoming a tee-totaler is boring, you should have just swapped vices rather than give up one. Take up crystal meth and become a juggalo -- I'm sure then he'll find you plenty ******' interesting;)

Grab me the shotgun Martha, we're havin' idjit tonight! ...But in all seriousness, I can't tell if you're trolling or just a pathetic, butthurt preteen. Get over yourself, you're just one out of hundreds of people that don't get FMLs submitted. There are people that have tried over a hundred times to no avail-you've tried four. So suck it up or piss off.

"If you're bored, then you're boring." --Harvey Danger If he can't think of a single source of sober entertainment, he's unimaginative and probably an alcoholic himself. Also, you're much better off with him leaving. A person like that (even if he was okay with your sobriety) would end up being like a child you have to babysit--you'd be the sober one who has to drive him around and keep him out of trouble. You're better off considering your own well-being and finding someone who doesn't spend every weekend in the drunk-puking-hungover-drunk cycle.
