hi im 13 and my boyfriend is 16 yes i know thats an age gap. well i understand that he likes drinkin and ya i do to sadly. but i dont really do it as much anymore. and he told me staright up he was gonna stop. then he went out and did it again and i asked him why he said that when he didnt mean to and he said because he just wanted to. well sometimes i feel like he would rather be drinking and other stuff then rather being with me like beer is more important. how can i stop myself from feeling this way.
p.s he ditches me to go do that stuff

Do you really want to commit all your energy and hearbreak to someone who would rather drink and get drunk than spend time with you?
The fact that he "ditches" you to do other things, should have you turning around and walking the other way. You are WAY more important than alcohol, and deserve someone who devotes his time to you and not a bottle.
I also hope you will reconsider this drinking thing on your part. Your body and mind are still growing, and alcohol is going to affect how you become as an adult. There's plenty of time to drink when you're older. Sorry...but I'm a mom! Take care.

I make them for my dad and he says they're "superb" anyway, I think you should dump him. If he ditches you just to go drink, that is wrong. He also lied to you about him not drinking anymore. Boyfriends should be honest, loving, and care more about their girlfriends than any alchoholic drink. Dump him is my advice. [ shygirl66's advice column | Ask shygirl66 A Question ]

Drinking is very serious and it hurts people. I'm sure things will be fine
Good luck

BEAUTiFUL_LOVEx answered Tuesday April 18 2006, 7:39 pm: It's def. normal to feel that way. And at 16 the boy really just wants to have fun i bet. I dont know how close you are, but you should tell him that. Tell him that it feels like that, and that since your not really into that kind of stuff anymore its awkward. Go to those kind of things w/ him, and just dont drink. Keep him busy, and he prob. wont either. And if he does tell him straight up that its annoying how he would ditch you for beer, and that maybe this isnt gunna work out. 13 & 16 is a big gap at age. And i hate to say it but i dont know if you'll last that long. I mean its def fun, but if thats how he is, i personally think you could do better.
