Or he just couldn't take criticisms positively. Al, you have an issue if this is your train of thought. You begrudgingly accept the idea that she's going to go to therapy and with therapy, and you BEGRUDGINGLY accept? It sounded like she's actually trying, which made me go through all of your previous threads and realize that there's no real comprehension when it comes to the way you're acknowledging issues. 1) You let someone "trick" you to quit your job and move in so someone else could pay all your bills 2) Someone's apparently great to you, pay your bills, and apparently takes care of you, but your priorities is for her to lose a couple pounds and keep in contact with your ex (I don't even want to know what happened there) 3) She went to drinking, and somehow hides it from you, but you caught her chugging half a bottle of liquor and drank a 6 pack that she bought from a store while you weren't looking. (I still find that a little... out there) 4) She wants to quit drinking for you, and your reaction is to drink in front of her (to make it nearly impossible for her to quit drinking... came from your mouth, nor mine) 5) She went back into drinking, and your first reaction is to get together with your ex (for a night, I assume) because she apparently have security issues (I wonder why she's insecure...) For the record, there's no detection of regret on this whatsoever. 6) She decides to go to therapy and try to quit drinking altogether and you're not very happy. (I wonder why....) 7) The PS3.... I guess that's supposed to make you happier? We're angry that someone like you is posting someone like this in these forums. I guess it's a mix of "WTF" and "entertainment value" at the same time.
She needs to get into a program. All this counter-offer stuff is just BS misdirection. The reality is that she needs help, or she'll fall off the wagon again. That's what you need to demand. Anything less and you're just enabling her disease. Or you can just break things off because if she doesn't get help, then she'll just end up disappointing you again.
As others have said, I think she needs to get some professional help with her drinking problem.... and she should probably drop that deadbeat boyfriend of hers....
Haha! May we suggest methods on how you should commit such ludicrous acts? Either way, here's mine. Get your PS3. Go out and get yourself any of the Metal Gear games. It's a good series, so any of them will do. Go ahead and invite this girl over. Before she comes over, go ahead and turn on your PS3 and pop that sucker in (hopefully, it's MG3: Snake Eater... for obvious reasons). Whether you're making your way through the frigid temperatures of Alaska, or the jungle of the Soviet Union, ask her to perform fellatio on you. If you purchased Snake Eater, and she agrees, well then... that's awesome. If not, it's cool too. Once you're about to climax, in your best Snake voice (David Hayter), yell out "LIQUUUIIIIIIIIDDDD!!" Please.
I think you two lovebirds are all set for smooth sailing into your sunset years now. (You really have no idea about how love and affection work do you?)
of course not i'm sure it all stems from being the youngest of 7 children, my abusive alcoholic father, and my parents divorcing when I was 3
One of the most entertaining yet sad threads I've read in a long time... Fortunately, there's a consensus here...two people need help. PS Thanks to Blurr#7 for Major Payne!
This has to be BS. That or you are the dumbest poster in the history of the BBS. And I mean that. Oh well, I guess at least you'll have your PS3 to keep you company when ya'll finally split up, which I guarantee is bound to happen sooner or later. Hopefully sooner before something serious happens like you two have a kid together.
Well that clears everything up. All these issues that you have with your alcoholic girlfriend stems from your issues with your alcoholic father. Unless you work those issues out with a therapist or support group, you'll continue to have the same problems. Even if you break things off with this girl, you'll find yourself drawn to the same situation with someone else. I suggest you find a "Children of an Alcoholic" support group and go to a meeting.
I absolutely love it when people use the "My daddy was an alcoholic\abusive\etc so I can act like a complete idiot the rest of my life" bull****. Quit using **** like that as a crutch. This really, really drives me nuts. You keep making the same stupid mistakes yet you expect different results. Guess what, you are in a stupid relationship and it isn't because she is the only stupid person in the situation. You are as big of a dumbass as she is, just in a different way (maybe more since you stay with her).
You are not a man if you let her pay your bills. Stop leeching off her and get a job. This relationship is not going to end well, I can tell you that.
