Boyfriend that doesn’t know his limits?

Asked by pinksunrise2020 (10points) April 9th, 2020 from iPhone

So I met my boyfriend when he was a club host(28). At the time I was underage (20)with a fake ID, and have been out a decent amount of times but never really enjoyed drinking like that, I’m very chill and prefer to be healthy/ working / resting . As a host he’s required to take his clients out… it goes without saying our lifestyles are VERY different. I work nights and never go out, where he went out every weekend…got trashed, did coke , and would recklessly gamble. There’s been countless times where he’s come home to me very late . Like 6–7am late trashed continuing to drink. I just never understood it…. why can’t he just drink without getting fucked up. I cannot stand when he gets trashed and sloppy. I feel like I’m playing babysitter. He recently lost his job, so yes he’s been home more… not drinking etc . But also the corona virus is going on right now which prevents him from drinking/ going out . We spoke about the coke and he promised me he’d never do it again. Overall, I feel as though my boyfriend who is in his late 20’s is still maturing while I am way past that stage and don’t understand it. I want somebody I can grow with… buy a home with.. not be with somebody who is still up partying at 7am. We had a small get together and for the first time in a while… I seen him regress to his old ways . I enjoyed one beer and went upstairs to do school work .. hours later he’s shit faced. Picking fights, being sloppy, throwing up…. he even told me to “shut the fuck up” while he was drunk. When I told him I won’t tolerate that, he said he didn’t remember. I don’t think I can handle this behavior for much longer . I tried to overlook the red flags but they aren’t going away with time which is pretty scary considering I love the guy. I feel hurt , sad and very conflicted . I feel like he can never be the man I want him to be…... I just see so many potential problems dating and even marrying somebody like him. I am looking for something real and I don’t know if he’s mature enough to make a lifestyle change . He says he wants to get out of night life… but also mentions going back to another club. What makes me think anything will change… nothing probably will .
