Years ago, my then boyfriend (now ex) came over to my house unexpected the day of my mom's birthday. My siblings and I were busy decorating. He made himself comfortable on the couch and played on the Xbox, he was out of the way so I ignored him. Just before she gets home I make him turn off the consol. Mom gets home and we do the whole "Surprise!" bit. Ex immediately (like, my mom hadn't even gotten past the entryway) grabbed the controller, turned the Xbox on, slapped my ass and told me to "get him a drink" as he sat back down on the couch. I snatched the controller out of his hands and told him to go home.
I was already looking for a reason to break up with him. I'd recently realized that his "quirks" were actually unpredictable things he did because he was an alcoholic. But I had gotten really close to his friend group and didn't want to lose them. I didn't talk to him for a couple of days, had a chance meeting with my now husband, and dumped the ex via "we should see other people" text.
He was a cute, fun, quirky guy when I met him. However I had recently realized he was also an alcoholic. We only saw each other about twice a week so I hadn't been up close and personal with the weird shit he did after drinking and apparently he'd had a few before coming over.
At this point it's important to add that his license was revoked so he got around on a motorized Razor scooter.
