Drinking is a bad habit. Not because it spoils your health not because your parents told you so, but because it spoils your relationship. There once was a girl madly in love with a guy. They were in different cities yet did all that it took to get the relationship going. Many differences. Music, sports, food, places to hang out, friends, you name it - everything was different. The guy liked drinking a lot. The girl did not drink before she fell in love with the guy. They went out to bars together. The girl was stubborn about not going to night clubs and the guy compromised on that. The girl was a cat - needy, clingy, always wanted company of the guy. The guy loved it. He proposed to her one day and that was the best day of her life. The long wait to find the perfect one was over. Lovely families got together and fixed the wedding date. It felt like a happily ever after moment with absolutely no chance of any problems in the future. Then came a neighbor. A girl who liked drinking, smoking, doing pot, partying and flirting with men. The girl detested her. The guy liked her. He invited her over for drinks, movies, food. The girl cried inside. The girl told the guy that she had a huge problem with this but the guy thought it was the girl's fault to be that jealous. The guy text the neighbor everyday thereafter. Told her how much fun it was with her around, invited her over more and made it so hard for the girl. The girl couldn't take it. She cried all night. She left lonely. She had to see the neighbor girl in her house everyday drinking with her fiance, laughing out loud with him. The girl decided to shut up as talking out loud before made her the bad one, got her physically and mentally assaulted. The neighbor still came in at 11 pm, she shut up. The boy still text her everyday even when the girl was around, she shut up. One morning, after another sleepless night, the girl told the guy, how big a hypocrite he was - he felt bad and inhibited. Days went by, the girl slept at night as the neighbor visits reduced. The guy stayed in touch with her but did not message her all the time. The girl felt loved again. It was August and the preseason game started. A bar with couple of friends, the boyfriend and the girlfriend. The boy was getting drunk and everyone was enjoying the game. The girl drove the boy back to the house when he mentioned how he text the neighbor girl. The girl was upset this time, not jealous anymore. She went over to the boy's friends house where the boy stayed temporarily and wanted to spend time with him so she wouldn't be upset anymore. But the boy asked her to go away. The boy's phone was his most important possession. She would not leave. He begged her to leave. She lost all the self respect that was left off of her and walked back in shame. He apologized next day without knowing what for but it did not mean a thing to the girl. She did not want to talk as she was upset and angry. The guy showed the same reactions as she did not accept her apology. The girl yelled at him in anger. The guy snapped out and did not come back again to see her. The girl does not like the guy like she used to but is stuck with her parents at home not knowing what to do.

The girl never drank again.
