He doesn’t drink a lot all of the time. He’ll have a few beers after work sometimes. The issue is when he’s drinking with someone else, he doesn’t know when to stop. Ever. He used to be a big drinker before we met. Pretty much spent all of his earnings going out partying and drinking with friends until he was black out drunk. That had stopped when we started dating. I don’t know if maybe it was the fact that he didn’t have any friends around for the first half year (1 year now) we were together. For the past few months though, he’s had people to drink with, whether at home or going out.

I’ve expressed to him how I’m not a big drinker and not the biggest fan of drinking (unless it’s a special occasion) or being around drunk people. I don’t mind him drinking, but not to the point where he doesn’t remember where he even is. It makes it feel hard to trust someone that has no control over themselves, especially if he’s out all night. On top of that, he always ends up vomiting everywhere. I’ve expressed many times how much I absolutely hate vomit. There’s been several times where I’ve had to sleep elsewhere (uncomfortably, might I say) because I couldn’t stand the smell of vomit in the room. He’s also gotten vomit on my stuff before.

I’m terribly awful with saying what I want, so I don’t know how to bring this up properly. How do I express to him that if this continues, it’s not going to work out?

TL;DR: Boyfriend’s drinking habit disgusts me at times and I don’t know how to bring up that if this doesn’t change, I’ll have to end the relationship.
