Did you leave your partner because he/she was a Drunk?

You did the right thing, when alcohol becomes more important then the significant other, why be in relationship? He has chosen his "significant" other

Tricky one.  \nI once went out with a guy who used to do lots of things which annoyed me, eventually I dumped him as it got too much.  In the early days, I was in his room and we were having a glass of wine and he got quite drunk and started being rather arrogant and stupid.  I had a choice at the time.  I could have played along and feel stupid, I could have left the room without saying anything or I could breakdown.  I chose to breakdown because I thought I didn't really want to be part of his arrogance and I thought it would have been just rude to leave.  Once I started crying, he stopped what he was doing and apologised and promised he wouldn't do it again.\nNow, I'm not saying this is the best approach and I wouldn't be surprised if you thought that I'm a drama queen or an attention seeker from that anecdote.  However, it is one way of making guys realise whatever it is they are doing is upsetting.  \nHowever, as my arrogant ex boyfriend only really did this once, it did not affect me day to day (though eventually the other annoying things about him got to me).  On this basis, I think you perhaps want to consider if this thing or these things your boyfriend does that irritates you will ultimately affect your sanity, you might want to consider looking elsewhere or dumping him.  I know you probably don't want to hear it but I learnt it the hard way, and my god, my ex was hard to get rid of AND I dumped him the hardest way, face to face!!!  Alternatively, you might just want to talk it over with him.  If he doesn't reason with you, definitely dump him, he's not worth it, sorry!  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

neither one of you should be drinking.Being drunk is just an excuse for acting stupid.You need to work out your feelings about what happened or you may explode one of these days.

Nope. Your a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings.

It sounds like he doesn't have much confidence in himself, he knows he is doing wrong with the alcohol, doesn't think he is good enough so expects that you will go out and find someone who is.  Plus it sounds like he is trying to push you away before you have a chance to do it to him, its human nature to protect yourself even at the cost of others.  Or on the other hand he very likely could be cheating on you.

He is probably going through a bad patch of some kind. Have you spoken to him about it (I don't mean confronted). Often just a little gentle reminder of the dangers of drink will be enough to calm him down again. If it doesn't you have to make a choice.\nBeing with a drunk is never a good thing and often leads to violence. Even if it happens once get out of there and don't look back.

i kicked my ex out after taking to much of his controlling ways, lies and unreasonable behaviour in hope he would realise his mistakes, he acted differently for a few weeks, i took him back to discover one week after the split he jumped in bed with a nasty druggie who lived on the next street for two weeks +. we stayed together after that for almost a year but things were never the same, i wasn't turned on by him anymore as i saw him as 'dirty' which made me feel unclean. we have now permanently broke up and i can't wait to get a nice healthy sex life back on track with next man!

Well 28 is a little old to be partyin that hard. I hate guys who are lush's like that. I would not be able to handle my bf going out and getting trashed like that and not remembering..who knows what he's doing while he's drunk without you. I think you should talk to him about it and if that doesn't work you should move on. It's time for him to grow up and be a man.

He sounds like he's really possessive, insecure and a loser.  Drop him now before your relationship goes on much longer.  The truth always comes out when a person is drunk.  It may take several more months before his true personality comes out.  But you got a good preview while he was drunk....)(

Bearing witness to my ex of 11 yrs drown away his life in alcohol abuse. The hard part was struggling to help him overcome his addiction for as long as I remember. It is true you can't help someone who doesn't want the help. His life sprialed so completely out of control that he brought me right down with him. The alcohol turned him from a loving, caring man, to a person that I no longer knew. He became a literal monster....aggressive, mean behavior. Almost burned down my house, blew up my car, stole my dogs, lost his job, family and friends and threatned to commit suicide on far too many occasions.\nIn the end, he found himself in jail, beat up, broke down and hopeless.\nIt was by far the worst period of my life and having to let him go to begin to take care of myself (for once) was excruciatingly heartbreaking.\nI can still cry to this day just thinking about it.

Nope.. I would dump him. Using the reason, " I made a mistake" is like his 'get out of jail free card'.  Does that mean that you can " make a mistake", also?  I agree with the answer that there are probably things in the relationship that would make someone feel the need for something new and exciting.. maybe a little dangerous.  If you do decide to stay together, I would definitely work on communication skills between the both of you.  Don't look to us for answers... you have to find the answer in your heart and do what it tells you to do.  Will you trust him ever again? Will it cause stress down the line when you question his every move? Will you end up with ulcers?!?!  I hope things work out for you either way.

Give him a chance to change (one chance) and if he didn't, say "It's me or the alcohol. I can't be with someone that loves to drink more than he loves me." \n\nThen, if he didn't stop immediately, I'd leave him.

you where right all the way. you shouldnt use being drunk as an excuse because its you cant blame anyone else for being drunk.  if he didnt deserve the punch in the face from u about trying to kiss ur gal then he deserved it for being drunk. u shouldnt feel bad and if it still haunts u try to let the past go..

Believe it or not, this just happened to me last night.  My boyfriend was married for 11 years and they split up 9 months ago.  We have been going out for the last two months.  Last night, after about two beers, he looked me right in the eyes and said "I love you so much Ch*&^%)(*%$#."  I couldn't believe it.  He kept telling me he was so sorry and I know he felt terrible, but It is eating at me today too.  I know it was an accident and he didn't mean it, so I have decided to just force myself to stop thinking about it.  I know he loves me and I know he doesn't want to go back to her.  He is very loving and attentive in so many ways, so my advice to both of us is to stop being so sensitive and admit that our boyfriends are human.  They make mistakes, I wouldn't want him to crucify me if I were in his shoes.\n\nGood Luck.

Interesting.  I just broke up with my stubborn boyfriend who also is very mean when he drinks.  Although he is one stubborn guy, he acknowleged that he was a person he didn't want to be when he drinks.  He made a big effort to cut back, at least around me, and it did help.  I think it says a lot about your relationship if he isn't willing to at least TRY to cut back.  It's not like you are asking him to stop having a good time, if he's mean, that is just not okay and it shouldn't be accepted.  I'd suggest talking to a couples counselor.

If you are having any doubts now then I don't think you are ready to be trapped in a marriage especially when he drinks.  I know that you said he only gets argumentive when he drinks but even still - when you're married drinking is the stupidist thing you can do.  There's so many more important things to do, more responsibilities and priorities that you will need to worry about and take care of that drinking is definitely a bad thing to involve.  If you argue all the time about little stuff then it would definitely not be smart to take your relationship to the next level and be stuck.  I thought me and my husband would be great together - we never argued or anything while dating and as soon as we moved in together and were married .. all of a sudden we were arguing over every stupid little thing.  It was little stuff ... but all the time and believe me even that will make u unhappy and miserable.  Don't drag on your relationship just because you have been together for 2 years. I believe you deserve someone better honestly.  Give it your all in working it out so you'll know if it ends that you tried all you could do and wont have any regrets.  Please take care and I hope it all works out for you the way you deserve.  Marriage is not what I thought it was - you will know what I mean when that happens for you.  Please hold off on it. Please - u deserve to be happy.
