Tough Talk,
I am a normal guy with friends, a good job and a serious girlfriend. I’m not perfect, but overall I think I am a good person and have helped people when I can. I’m also not a backstabbing SOS like some loathsome pieces of trash I’ve had to deal with at work over the years. My girlfriend says she loves me except for this one defect or problem I have and it’s this: I really love to get liquored up and make a complete ass out of myself in public. I drink a lot of beer and at one point something pisses me off and I just become some type of weirdo. I wake up hungover with sketchy memories knowing that someone has been offended or I have completely embarrassed myself. She says she will dump me if I don’t cut this out. I really love her, but I’m just not sure, as the truth is, I really enjoy it. What do you think TT? (Hertle, Louisiana)
Hertle,
Your girlfriend is being terribly selfish. What you call a defect or problem is a wonderful and delightful personality trait that should be loved and nurtured. There is nothing wrong with being honest with your feelings, especially if you’re binge drinking or in a drunken stupor. If she doesn’t understand this, you need to cut this dope loose. You’re too good for her.
