Five months ago, this 27-year-old woman began dating her 36-year-old boyfriend, but they have been friends for a really long time.

She knew before things got serious with her boyfriend that he had an alcohol problem, but it never was a problem in their relationship until now.

While she and her boyfriend were still friends, she never witnessed him acting in an alarming or scary way when he did drink.

Now, her boyfriend’s living situation isn’t great, so he has been spending a lot of time at her house as they discuss moving in together.

Yesterday while her boyfriend was working, she grabbed lunch with one of her friends. She ordered a huge sandwich on purpose so that she could take the leftovers home for her boyfriend to eat.

He’s constantly in a state of hunger, and she thought bringing him the sandwich would be a sweet gesture to prove that he was on her mind that day.

“I didn’t end up eating my half and put the whole thing in the fridge, thinking we would just eat them together later,” she explained.

“When he got home from work, he ate his part of the sandwich while I took a nap. Probably important to add that he is a bartender, and when he got home, I could tell he had been drinking.”

After she woke up from her nap, she showered and then put a movie on to watch alone as he was getting ready for bed.

She could seriously tell he had a lot to drink as he kissed her, and she could taste the alcohol on him.

Her boyfriend then ended up falling asleep, but when her movie was halfway over, he woke up again as she was eating her half of the sandwich.

Her boyfriend asked if he could have a bite, and she handed the sandwich over to him. Before he could take it from her, she pulled it back towards her as a joke.

“This isn’t out of the ordinary for us, he also has a habit of taking gargantuan bites any time I offer him food,” she said.

“After that, I handed it to him, and he took it out of my hand and threw it on the floor. Hard. I was shocked and didn’t move for a second, just sat there staring at it. He went back into the bedroom. I cleaned up the mess and then just sat on the couch in silence for a bit, staring into the void.”

“This time of year is especially hard for me, and he knows this, today (yes, today) is the two-year anniversary of my mom’s passing, and I told him that I might need a little extra support. I had been crying a little bit throughout the night, and he had seen that; he was being sweet up until the sandwich debacle.”

She sent her a boyfriend text calling him mean. He replied back via text, saying he couldn’t care less. So, last night she fell asleep on the couch by herself.

This morning, she woke up questioning her entire relationship over what happened with that roast beef sandwich.

She is in love with her boyfriend, but him slamming the sandwich on the floor was so rude and awful that she can’t help but think he’s showing her what his true colors are.

“…Based on my floor sandwich, the future is looking bleak,” she continued. “If we do break up, should I keep the friendship that we had before?”
