My boyfriend is still drinking
....but he's not an alcoholic. He can easily stop at 1 or 2, no problem. However I've asked that he doesn't drink in the house and he respects that. Now he will go to bars and come back smelling like beer or whisky and I absolutely can't stand it. Sometimes my anxiety gets so bad that I have to physically leave the house and go for a walk. This happens 2-3 times a week.
I'm not sure what to do- he's already respected my wishes by not drinking in the house, but it's that smell of the drink and I can tell he's a little tipsy that really triggers me. It doesn't seem fair to tell him to stop drinking at bars.
I'm fine watching others drink at a bar, that doesn't bother me. Idk why this situation bothers me so much. Do I need to cool it and relax or should I tell him to stop going out and drinking? Don't know what to do.
