Define "alcohol problem" Options

Sounds a bit like my boyfriend.....

he has a drink every night....but its not just ONE drink....he makes like 3-4 drinks with vodka and sprite and juice. And he often drinks AFTER he's taken a tomazepam (to help put him to sleep.) I notice that we often have arguments when he's on this concoction and afterwards he forgets what he says.

Last night we got into an argument and he said that I am always negative....I accidentally spat out, "I'm sorry that I'm not mister Jolly...I'm not liquored up all the time"

The idea originally was to kick #2 out so Jarrod's brother could move and and it would be me, Jarrod, and Justin. Jarrod and I get along fine and there's never any drama, plus his bro is cool as hell

Then something happened.

Jarrod's girlfriend Theresa decided to go about 5 and a half months without bothering to take a pregnancy test. EVERYONE knows she sneaked him in an attempt to get a ring and move in. Any girl who's pregnant knows before 5 months. Funny how you can't legally abort after 5 months in Texas (may be three, the point being she didn't bother telling anyone until it was too late). She's been slowly moving her shit in and staying every night. She basically coerced him to kick me out since I live in the room next to his. I know he makes good money, but he's gonna be losing $7500 a year in rent and bills. God knows Theresa doesn't pay for anything, ever.

I've got two months before I gotta get out. I've been looking at buying a house with my friend and putting about $25000 worth of repairs in to it and doing most of the work ourselves.

Lovely. For the record, abortions in TX can be performed up to 25 weeks (nearly 6 months).

[Mommy]

I still maintain that a girl can go without knowing she is pregnant until she is that far along, but it seems she does have motive. If a girl as an irregular period, it would be especially difficult for her to know she is pregnant unless she gets morning sickness or has reason to think she could have gotten pregnant. Like I said before, I didn't show at all until almost 7 months. When I was 9 months pregnant, people finally started to notice I was pregnant. They would ask me how far along I was, and I would tell them. They were shocked and usually thought I was around 5 months.

And Christine, I thought they only did abortions between 16-25 weeks under special circumstances. I know you can't get an abortion until you are 8 weeks pregnant.

Edit: never mind.

"D&E — dilation and evacuation — is another abortion method. D&E is usually performed later than 16 weeks after a woman's last period. Less than 1 out of 10 abortions in the United States happen during this time. After 24 weeks of pregnancy, abortions are performed only for serious health reasons." Before 16 weeks, you can take the abortion pill.

[Spectatrix]

Yeah, I looked it up because I thought abortions through the 2nd trimester were legal most places.

While it certainly is possible for a woman to be 5 months along before realizing she is pregnant, I don't think that's the norm. I think she'd have to be very out-of-touch with her body in order to be that obtuse.

[Mommy]

eh... I hear of it happening. My mom didn't know she was pregnant with me until she was 4 months along. Young women just have this mentality of "it won't happen to me" when it comes to getting pregnant... especially women in their early 20's who aren't married or actively trying to bear children. Most women that age are out of that wild child phase and are in steady relationships. In my mom's case, she was married, but her husband didn't want kids at all. Needless to say, I have never met my birth father. I think women are in a state of denial... like they have an idea, but don't think it's really happening. I'm a borderline hypochondriac so I knew I was pregnant when I was only 3 weeks along haha. Well, I'm not really a hypochondriac, I just like to be in tune with what's happening to me.

[Oasis]

I don't know about her menstrual cycle nor do I want to. Jessica, no offense, but you're the exception to most norms.

Every girl I talked to says you know in a month. Or at least suspect enough to take a test. Hell, people were making wisecracks that it looked like she was pregnant three months ago. You could tell she was holding her stomach in. Sorry, people don't go from being in perfect shape to being chunky with a huge ass in the span of three months, especially if their diet and lifestyle doesn't change. Maybe she didn't know, but anyone with a lick of common sense could see enough warning signs to take a test. In fact, Jarrod pushed for her to take a test two months after she got pregnant and she said no because "she didn't think she was." Refusing to take a pregnancy test is ludicrous. I understand not wanting to be faced with the truth, but pregnancy isn't exactly a problem that goes away if you avoid it.

What exactly is this abortion pill you speak of?


Oh and I finally figured out why my roommate is a bully. He has huge insecurity and self esteem issues. I found this out because I went up to the bar a few nights ago and set with him and our friends. He doesn't say shit to me until he gets about five drinks in him and then he starts running his mouth threatening to kick my ass. I at first laughed it off, plus he was making a jackass of himself and everyone was laughing. Then he said something, I forgot what, that pissed me off. I told him to get the fuck up and let's go outside right now and settle this (knowing full well he'd back down). You know what he did? He lawyered up . Threatened to call his lawyer and sue me if I beat him up. Huh? Five seconds ago he was threatening to kick my ass and now I got in his face he's threatening to sue me? He likes having the upper hand and can't deal with it properly if someone steps up to him. He hates my girlfriend for the same reason. He'll talk shit to her and she'll talk it right back. He can't deal with adversity whatsoever. Come to think of it, he doesn't like any girl who isn't docile and talks back to him. It's really funny. He won't even talk to me now when he's sober

RU-486, trade name Mifeprex. It's a prescription abortifacient that can be taken during the first two months of pregnancy.

So guys should get six per year and slip one into her food every two months?
