tell him he's bound to lose a girlfriend who loves the rockets. Not like the other chicks that some us clutchfans date that pretend to like the rockets just because we do lol i wish i could talk about the rox to my girl without her telling me "basketball is boring, blah blah blah"
Yeah the guy is pretty young. Why don't you go for the older type of guys? Don't have to necessarily add 10 years, that's just old. If you're guy is 19, I'm assuming you're around the same age. 19 with a 29 yr old sounds a little creepy. I'm 22, and I drink responsibly Actually I don't drink at all.. which must mean I'm even more responsible.
Absolutely. When I was 19 I was going to classes drunk, drinking in the morning, the afternoon, and the evening. It was part of the territory. Shoot, I'm 30 and some of my buddies still do this kind of stuff... showing up to work drunk/hungover, etc. I've outgrown it now... but at 19 - that's all I cared about...drinking.
Well, speaking from personal experience, when he gets a DUI and has to shell out close to 10 g's in the process, maybe he'll wake up. Hopefully it doesn't take something worse for him to snap out of it. Good luck.
I don't know what Texas laws are like but a DUI while underage in many states also means loss of license.
A lot of people have pointed to his age. And I, too, was careless at that age. BUT, I wasn't a father. I don't know XxShadyPinkxX's history, sounded like he she was driving kids to school...her kids, his kids? It really doesn't matter how old you are, when you have children yourself, even if in many ways you are still a child, you have to be more responsible than heavy drinking and smoking on a regular basis, all while driving regularly...
This is going to sound crass -but if he has kids at 19 - he obviously has a history of not being responsible...
LOL Oh JESUS no. We don't have children. We aspire to be DINKs until atleast 25. But since my 27 yo sister w/ 4 kids is busy acting like she's the 19 yo w/o kids, I've assumed most of the responsibility in taking care of hers for about a year now. I know this is a problem for him too, because it does affect us sometimes. He gets frustrated about it.
There are too many awesome guys in the world to settle for someone who treats you wrong, trust me I KNOW this too well. Don't waste any more time then you already have!
Oh then you have lots of time and choices. If you're with a kid that's immature and doesn't care enough about his life and the life of others while he's driving.. then just drop the kid and look for someone else. A good start would be posting a pic of yourself here... I just don't see any other way.
Sounds like your irritated at a 19-year-old kid for being......well, a 19-year-old kid. Just seems ironic to me that you expect him to be able to handle his drinking when legally he's not even allowed to do it. Kind of like being upset at a 14-year-old for not being a good driver. You may be wise beyond your years (if you're mature enough to take on your sister's kids, you most likely are) but that doesn't mean you should expect him to be as well. Maybe you should find someone who is.
Three people in one thread that don't drink? Quit invading my territory! Shady, Immaturity runs with the territory of being just into adult hood. Not everyone mind you, but a good majority of people do really dumb things. A few learn eventually, some do so much later...and some do it much too late. I'm probably not one that should give any relationship advice whatsoever, but drunk driving isn't something that you should feel bad about getting angry at someone about. If he can't realize that driving while in a screwed up state of mind is a bad idea, you need to convince him otherwise, or do whatever else you need to do. I have no sympathy for people who endanger other's lives, whether it's those in the car itself, or the 58307075 other people on the road. So, in summary... take advantage of him when he's drunk and beat him in the face, then smash his windshield in, pour ketchup on the dashboard, and tell him he ran into another car...or something
10 year difference isn't too bad. I'm 34, my wife is 26. We met five years ago. She's especially mature for her age, I can be especially immature. It works well.
To be blunt, your boyfriend sounds like an inconsiderate ass hat and unless he has some REALLY redeeming qualities that you don't think you could ever find in another guy, you should probably cut your losses. And not to go too doom and gloom on you, but you're only 19. This probably isn't your last stop on the ol' relationship express anyway, unless you love the idea of living with a potential alcoholic for the next 60 years or so (or 40 if he dies early from the inevitable liver failure).
Maybe I'm not being fair to him or just not being clear. The ONE time I know 100% sure he was completely wasted and he drove, he pulled over after 3 mins and fell asleep in the Baybrook parking lot. Every other time, the only reason I knew he drank was because he told me. He thinks I'm being a Nazi about it, and I very well may be since I don't drink. I don't know how much is too much. I'd rather him not drink at all when he's going to drive. He thinks a few beers is ok. And yeah we're only 19, but we've been best friends since we were 13 and we're still CRAZY about each other. Maybe these are just necessary growing pains from being in a serious relationship so young?
Hey, not all 19 yo males get crazy drunk when they go out drinking. I'm 19 and I watch how much I drink because I know I gotta drive home later, and be at work/school the next morning. But if I don't have anything to do the next day, yeah....I'll probably get wasted. I like going to the gym in the middle of the night. There's nothing like working out, and having your own empty basketball court to get away.
