[quote=Anonymous]Wow OP, your boyfriend is out of line. His alcoholism has nothing to do with whether you want to have a drink now and then. He is the one with the problem not you. Why should you be "punished" for having a drink with friends or at a wedding? You are not in control of his addiction, he is - so he has no business asking you to quit altogether.

He sounds very controlling and he's not taking personal responsibility for his problem. OP I would think long and hard before you have him move in, let alone agree to marry him.

Him being only a "recent" recovered alcoholic is a big enough red flag to make me suggest you postpone living together or getting married anytime soon. He needs to show that he can handle life without relapsing when things get tough. But when you add on the fact that now his trying to control YOUR behavior. No way.

He needs AA meetings, and you both should probably see a counselor together. This just has bad news written all over it. I don't know how long you've been together, but honestly I think you should cut and run in the other direction.

I suspect if you stay with him we'll see you back on this board in about 1-2 years saying something like "what should I do?, my husband is a controlling, abusive drunk maniac"...."
