Today, I realized I willingly support my boyfriend's alcoholism, because the only time he says "I love you" is when he's blind drunk. FML

If the only time he loves you is when he's drunk, you need let him go and find someone who truly cares about you.

Stop!! That's not real love! :( drunk words are sober thoughts, but he should be able to say it without you enabling him. Have some dignity op and stop this craziness.

I dealt with the same problem with what is now my husband early on in our relationship. if he was already an alcoholic when y'all started dating, run. but if he wasn't, help him. he will love you more for it, and he will be more capable of expressing his love for you sober when he isn't always looking for another drink while sober. once my now husband developed his alcohol problem, all I heard was you need to leave. I was unhappy and depressed. but instead I stuck it out, got him the help he needed and now I'm the happiest I've ever been, he's completely sober, and our relationship is great. good luck, op. my thoughts are with you on this.

I would encourage you (33) to encourage others to seek out al anon. It is a great resource for anyone who cares about an alcoholic or an addict.

Al Anon is wonderful, I agree. they helped me before my husband was willing to get help, and once he realized he was going to lose the little boy he'd taken on as his own and me, they helped him too. even when the actual rehab centers were telling him he was looking at 16+ hour waits, he still had Al Anon to help him. he ended up getting sober by himself, save for Al Anon meetings. he's now almost seven months sober.:)

Al anon and AA aren't the same thing. Al anon is focused n being for the family and friends of alcoholics and addicts. It is a support group for those going insane trying to deal with an insane situation.

If he only loves you while drunk, he isn't worth it. You deserve better.

I feel like Call Me When You're Sober by Evanescence is perfect for this FML...

Grow up seriously that's pathetic idc how many down votes I get but that's not love or a relationship. If you loved him you wouldn't support this much drinking and if he loved you he wouldn't only say this when he's drunk. You're old enough to buy beer but not mentally wise enough to be in a relationship.

He only loves you when he is drunk... he really doesn't love you. You need to find a way to stop being his enabler or you to stop being co-dependent; take you choice of terms. I think you are worth more than this person... because let us face it, people never change from outside pressure, they only change when they themselves perceive a need to change. And sometimes not even then, even if it will kill them. I hope the rest of your life is better for you. :)

OP this is a toxic relationship. I know it hurts but you need to find someone else and get your boyfriend help.
