I have been dating my boyfriend for a year now, and only now am I starting to feel uncomfortable. We have a pretty good relationship with one another personally, but there are a couple of things that he has just recently started doing that are beginning to make me think twice.
OK first off, he comes from a very nice Christian family(im not big into religion or anything, but they're very very nice, and have a lot of good morals) and as a child he was rather awkward and to himself, even when he was in high school he was kind of a bit nerdy, and soft. Now however, he has met these new friends(guys) and now all he can think about is cars, motorcycles and drinking. I dont mind the cars and motorcycles themselves..but his friends are INSANE. They do tricks on the road that could KILL someone. He is driving HIS motorcycle without a license! He just had a wreck and crashed his bike which scared me to death, and now he's fixing the bike up again to start all over! I dont think they all realize just how dangerous what theyre doing really is. going 145 miles an hour on a bike???
He has also started drinking nearly every day. at his job(even though he is under 21) they have been allowing him to have alcohol once they close for the night. he doesnt get rip roaring drunk, but it really is starting to bother me that he drinks EVERYDAY. i myself do not drink at all, except on a special occasion.
i kind of feel like hes only doing these things to "fit in" with the guys. these guys are mostly jerks too, always ragging on their girlfriend's behind their backs... i dont want mine to act like that too! i have had such a wonderful relationship with him, and now im beginning to get scared. his father was a bad alcoholic and a heroin addict... so addiction runs in his family... i just dont want this to get ugly! Ive told him i dont like him drinking, but he doesnt really see this as a problem. the fact that he wrecked his bike hasnt made him think more carefully about riding his motorcycle either.... what can i do????
