How Should I Break Up With Him?

-I've been dating my boyfriend for 3 months now, and while he is a good guy, our relationship doesn't seem to be faring too well. [He is 21, I'm 18]

He has a bit of a drinking problem, and doesn't listen to me when I say that it bothers me when he drinks. He went so far as to put me in a situation where he had a couple of drinks and then a few hours later was my only way home. My parents were incensed, and he not only refused to admit that he had done something wrong and to apologize, but he tried to lie to my mom, was very rude to my parents about it, and when I tried to talk to him about it later, tried to tell me that he wasn't wrong and that they overreacted and I "shouldn't have told them about it."

My birthday was a month ago- he came to my birthday party 3 hours late. The next day, on my birthday,he did not give me a gift of any sort (I told him to get me something inexpensive but cute, so he really didn't have an excuse that what I wanted wasn't financially attainable for him), and was unavailable all day until about 10pm, when he had me drive to his house to sit on the couch with him and his best friend (whom I do NOT like) and his best friend's girlfriend and watch a TV show I had never heard of, while he and his best friend got drunk.



I feel like I don't mean as much to him as I should, he often chooses the gym over me, and I'm growing very fed up with being little more than a continuous hookup with a title.



His birthday is in 2 days..... I don't know what to do.I know it is his birthday in two days, and you would feel bad to do it. But seriously, you don't deserve to be treated like ****! I would just break up with him, if he doesn't even care enough to get you a gift on your birthday or hang out with you, it is not worth it. I know you may love him, but don't let him drag you around like a rag doll and make you feel like crap. You need to just brake it off. I promise you will find someone else, there are TONS of fish in the sea. You will find someone who will treat you with respect unlike this guy. I'm sorry hun, but just do it. It will make you feel a whole lot better when someone actually does care about you. Good luck, and don't give in to him. No matter what he says, you don't deserve to be tossed around like this.Well i have seen people break up with others on bad days (Valentines day, birthday, holidays etc..) Just do it before his bday.
