Spontaneous

Today, my girlfriend came home and spontaneously wanted to have sex for the first time in about a year. I'm a recovering alcoholic, and had just came from an AA meeting. She reeked of alcohol, I couldn't get hard because of it, and she got pissed at me. She says she won't be spontaneous again. FML

If she knows you are a recovering alcoholic and still comes to your house drunk then you need too find someone better then that.

If she knows youre recovering, then shes a bad girlfriend. She shouldnt have been pissed because of that.

Just because you chose to stop drinking, shouldn't mean she should. I get why you might choose to stop, but that was your choice. let her make hers.

@36 You don't understand alcoholism at all, which is why you don't understand the severity of Op's situation.

Of course it's her choice whether or not to drink. And it's OP's choice whether or not to stay with her.

yeah you're very right. it's completely her choice as to what she wants to do with her body and her life. but to leave your recovering alcoholic boyfriend behind while you go to get drunk then to get all pissed off because he can't bang you because you reek like alcohol makes no sense and shows her complete lack of support on her end

Even though it was wrong of her to show up to your place while intoxicated, if you're serious in you're recovery you probably should be with someone who is sober as well. I don't know the full story but she may not be a current or becoming an alcoholic just because she was drunk at that moment. You can't expect someone to stay sober because you're recovering and they may not be. You should reconsider the relationship no doubt.

At least you no longer have to worry about whisky dick.

She drinks while you're in recovery and the sex life seems to be strained. Maybe it's time for a serious discussion...

As a fellow alcoholic, all I can say is "Sorry" It's hard enough to say sober just from daily life, so have that happen is just cruel.

I'm sorry but a year?!? If I go a week then I'm having a serious talk with my girl, a year is unacceptable

if she cant understand that then its her fault and you need to confrnt her that she needs to understand youre trying to recover. if she said it while she was drunk, chances are she probably didnt mean it

OP if your partner comes home drunk, leave 'em! if you two are in a relationship so committed that you guys live together, your partner has no business getting drunk when you're not around... RED FLAG

If he's a recovering alcoholic, it's probably more considerate of her to not drink around him. And it's not fair to say she should never drink just because he can't, so the best option is for her to do it away from him. We don't know the circumstances; maybe she was just out having fun with friends. If OP isn't completely controlling, he shouldn't have a problem with that.

I'm gonna assume she overreacted because she was drunk, given she was horny and reeked of booze. She should apologize when sober.

I try not to jump on the "you mean ex-____friend" bandwagon, but in a case like this, where you're trying to be strong in overcoming your addiction, and she's totally out of touch with and insensitive to your lifestyle and goals, I gotta say it wouldn't be a bad idea to consider ending the relationship. Stay strong, buddy.
