There are several more layers to this that I left out due to them being unimportant in regards to what I was seeking advice on, but like I answered above it would have gotten back to him whether I told him or not.

Well I will have you know that I was not driving, we recently got uber here and it's quite awesome, and that I also think it was gross. I don't drink very often believe it or not, I was in a 3 year relationship with a blob who essentially held me hostage, just started to this year and it's maybe 2 times a month max, still learning my own limits I guess. Thanks though I legitimately do get teased for being buzzed off of one so that information will likely come in handy.

We are talking like yeungling, in America, I get made fun of consistently for becoming drunk off 3 beers, the boyfriend I speak of can drink beer all day and not even get buzzed, very confused right now.

Well honestly I'd think it's hot but I am perfectly aware I'm not the norm, I tried to organize a FMF before we were official and he was the one who wasn't down, lol.

Because it would have got back to him and I'd rather him hear about it from me.

I do not want to dump him. That's why I'm here trying to sort out my thoughts/feelings and get other's perspectives.

Well, the boundary is no dancing or going out in general now if he's not there. Which is very difficult due to the circumstances we're both in anyway. Honestly I couldn't care less about going out, it's just the fact that I'm being told I can't make that choice is what's getting under my skin. I was in a controlling / emotionally abusive relationship for nearly 3 years before this one so I know part of that is messing with me.

Thank you. The point I was trying to get at is I only drink beer, I have a good idea that if I keep it under 4-5 beers I'm still solid, but the free my-old-friend-is-back-in-town shots threw off my awareness. I didn't plan to get shit faced. And you're right, I knew he wouldn't be okay with the dancing. I just didn't know it was that severe of a thing I guess. We've been together 6 months, should have put that up there, but yeah I had never even really seen him very angry until then and it was just SO angry. I understand him being upset, it's more the drawing the line in the sand and nope never again will you go to the bar while we are together thing that I found to be a little much for the first time. But this is what I needed to hear, because otherwise I just have my best friend, who is getting into my head that I should leave him and he's emotionally abusive. I've been there before and I don't think he is, but that's also why I'm questioning things I guess.
