I don't agree with most of the opinions here. I dated a recovering alcoholic for awhile, and although he said it would not bother him if I had a few drinks, I just didn't feel right about doing so when I was with him. And to me, it just wasn't a big deal to abstain because I enjoyed being with him.


I think that is different from what was said here. You did what you did out of respect for this person and his disease and not because he had told you not to.

Come on people...let me have it here...lol..I can take it...he has mentioned many times how these things are not good for my health...like I did'nt know....
I didn't read that he has asked her not to. I read that he admitted to not liking bars, or the smell of alcohol. And that she likes to have a few with friends. I just meant that love/relationships are about compromise, and we need to pick our battles. Is having a few drinks so important that you would pass up the opportunity for something amazing?


Oops...did that wrong sorry...newbie here

Sounds like he is hinting that since he is giving up something for you maybe you should give up the drinking for him.He sounds controlling and I have a feeling if you get with him then you wont be hanging with your friends or going out.Don't change one iota for anyone.If he can't handle it then end it now.
good Luck...jax
