I’m Done Pinning Down My Drunk Boyfriend Trying to Ride His R1

Picture this: it’s late. He’s drunk. And he decides it’s a perfect time to ride his R1 motorcycle. Naturally, I’m there, pinning him down like some bizarre life-sized action figure, trying to prevent a disaster. Yep. True story.

And you know what? I’m done. Life is chaotic enough without voluntarily jumping into someone else’s nonsense — especially when they refuse to take responsibility for their actions.

Why this matters:

• Boundaries = survival. Your energy and safety come first.
• Repeated chaos = disrespect. If someone constantly puts themselves (and you) at risk, they don’t respect you.
• Humor heals. Laughing at ridiculous moments prevents bitterness and builds resilience.
• Confidence grows when you stop rescuing people who can’t adult.

Action Steps:

1. Set non-negotiable boundaries — dangerous drunk behavior is a hard stop.
2. Prioritize safety — yourself, others, and yes, your sanity.
3. Laugh at the absurdity — it’s a survival skill.
4. Remove yourself from recurring chaos — if they can’t respect rules, they can deal with consequences.
5. Celebrate independence — being unshakable means not being everyone’s human life jacket.

Life will always throw chaos, nonsense, and ridiculous situations at you. But you get to choose: do you dive in or step back? I choose step back, laugh, and protect my energy. Pinning down drunk boyfriends on motorcycles? Not my circus, not my monkeys anymore.
