Today, my boyfriend didn't come home from a night of drinking with the boys again, so I told him that I was packing my things and I wouldn't be here when he came home. After all my things were packed, I realized he drove my car to the bar. FML

How can you all assume that she's a controlling bitch? You can't just do whatever the hell you want in a relationship; there has to be compromise. If he wants to party and drink and spend every night away from home, why does he have a girlfriend? It's obvious that this isn't the same as just "hanging with the boys."

ooooh bummer. kinda wrecks the oomph factor but at least now he has to watch you leave =)

So, uh, use his car? Or just call a friend or something to pick you up.

why the hell did u let him take your car to a BAR in the first place? If he was gone long enough, then u should've known ur car was gone! Plus, when u leave someone for being drunk, u need to do it when they're sober, so they can regret the "big mistake" they made more

if he's got a car, take it and leave. if he doesn't, call a friend and have her go get your car and bring it to you (of course she'll need your keys). it's not a FML if there are extremely simple solutions to it.

Ah, sucks that he ruined your exit. Props to you for dumping the chump anyway.

I guess the circumstances of the relationship are key here. If I was married and starting a family, I think a night out with the boys would be unacceptable... however I'm not...I'm still young and brash. Maybe alcoholism is a factor here, or he acts real douchy. Sorry lady, I don't see the problem with someone hanging out with their friends all night. I think it's a little unfair to say that he can't do that. He's not bringing them back to your place, he's not driving drunk, it just sounds like you don't want him to go anywhere without you.

The whole calling thing is only good when you're sober enough to think clearly, after you cross a certain line calling your girlfriend/boyfriend only causes more harm than good. ...trust me :( It's best to wait till morning to call and explain things. (that’s for those of you who say he should have called) OP YDI that wasn’t a legitimate reason for leaving him, I agree with the people who call you a control freak. 1. Him being out all night =/= him cheating on you, if he really is your boyfriend then there must be a reason so you should have faith in him. 2. “didn’t come home from a night of drinking with the boys again”=/= going out and getting shitface every night, give the guy some space you’re not his mother for god sakes. Is he not allowed to have MORE THAN ONE night to himself, or is that too much freedom for a controlling girlfriend. 3. Since you are his girlfriend and not his wife I assume you are still at an age where going out and having a good time is still appropriate for your age. (I’m assuming they have no major responsibilities like kids) So it’s always best to get these thing like going out to bars/clubs/parties out of your system when you’re at the age. It’s so that you don’t end up with one of those late 20s or mid 30s crisis where you think you’ve wasted the chance and you’ll never have the opportunity in life again.

1. OP never said she suspected him of cheating 2. If a guy is going to spend his every night out and getting drunk, why would OP want to stick around for anyway? Obviously he's not interested in a serious relationship, and if she is, that's a completely legitimate reason to leave. 3. I wonder how often this "getting things out of your system" thing goes too overboard and negatively effects the outcome of a person's life. I hate that the whole 'you only live once' saying gets used all the time as an excuse for people to do whatever they want without regard for the consequences of their actions.

If he couldn't make it home it means he overestimated his drinking abilities and is now incapable of driving home responsibly... REGARDLESS OF WHOS CAR IT IS.

I def. think that a phone call could of made it better. If my man didn't come home all night I'd know I'd be pissed. I would be worried that something had happened to him. Its not fair to put someone through that kind of worry just to "have fun with the guys". You have to prioritize.

He deserves it for taking your car to drink in the first place. It's fine to drink and drive your car home but not his... Nice... Just take his car. Or call someone up to take you. OR go drinking yourself!

wait wait... he went out for a night of drinkin with the boys...an you wanted him home that night.. soo.. you wanted him to drive drunk??....hm

Well he obviously left the bar to go somewhere so why not go home? He can't very well just sleep at the bar and I highly doubt that's what he did.
