I broke up with alcoholic boyfriend this morning. He's been treating me really badly lately & constantly lying about drinking. I told him last night that eventually he will need to choose between getting himself help and having me in his life. He cracked open a beer at 7.30am this morning and I just lost it. I said that I am not putting up with this anymore! I am so sick of his drinking and sick of the sight of his beer bottles and caps everywhere all over my house! He treats my house like a drop in centre and has no respect for me. He ended up storming off (standard response from him whenever he is criticised) and I told him that I am done and never ever giving him another chance. I'm not proud that I was so angry but I am just at the end of my tether and needed to do something. I have a 2 year old son I need to protect (not alcoholic's son, but from a past relationship). I cannot have my son growing up and thinking that drinking beer at 7.30am is normal. Or that treating women like s** is normal. He was supposed to be taking me out for dinner on the weekend and a part of me is sad that now I won't get to do the one thing I was looking forward to, as he never does anything nice. But I guess he probably would have found a way to ruin that too? He usually let's me down. Think I just need to move on be strong. We aren't living together or committed in any serious way, I guess I'm doing the right thing getting out now?
