Hi thanks everyone.
Well I ended up getting a ride but boyfriend hates to drive so much he gets mad in the car.
I paid for the parking and everything. But it was tense and there was argument, I got out of the car and had to walk around of course wanted to go to the bar and didn't. Now I am just in my room not talking to him. Very on edge sleeping poorly.

It drives me nuts.
I swear.
He knows I am going through hell right now with valium taper and quitting drinking and dietary restrictions.
But the man cannot resist the opportunity to be right.
It's always about winning and never about listening!

Sleepie, that last description sounds like me and my husband having a "discussion" because he's never angry. Or argumentative. And I, of course, always have to be right. According to husband who never lets me get a word in edgewise when he's on a roll. Can you tune it out? I start drifting off to some other place when this happens. If it gets really bad, put your fingers in your ears and start humming. 
As for the other stuff, life isn't over. I'm prediabetic too. I'm not managing it correctly and I can definitely feel when I've had too much sugar. Drinking because of it is only going to make it worse. I'm not obese. I'm quite thin actually, so weight loss won't help me either. I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant. It's just one of those things. It is treatable.

Lately, I just leave when it starts.
I just leave the scene.
I try and manage the prediabetes. It's discouraging because everything says once you have it, it's progressive, end of story.
Boyfriend has a maddening way of being "sure everything will be fine" too... because it always has been, for him. Me, not so much. As I said before, he has pretty much gotten away with doing everything in life on his terms as well as drinking to excess and eating to obesity with few repercussions. He is obese and was recently told his "cholesterol is great". It's nauseating.
Some people just get to do as they please and are smug.

Pre diabetes is not always progressive. Proper diet and exercise can and does reverse it.
You seem to be angry and frustrated with your boyfriend a lot. Maybe you need to take a break apart for a while.
