#1. You can't make him drink.
#2. You can't make him NOT drink.

We don't drink because *of* anything -
we drink... because we're alcoholics.

The gut feeling I got while reading was
how easy it'd be for him to control your actions
whether you 'get' anything or not
simply by threatening to drink
every time he doesn't get his way.

Now,
I don't know how old you are,
but the behavior I just described ...

is that of a child.
A boy.

I finally came to a place
where relationships with boys
is no longer interesting for me.

I prefer men.
You know - grown ups.

Just something to think about,
because it sounded a whole lot to me
like
you're being controlled and manipulated
(if not flat out blackmailed)
into a one way relationship
where you do all the work
and he does all the destructing.
