The difference in your attitudes toward drinking and nightlife sounds significant to me. I don't think there is such a thing as a good relationship between two people, where one wants to go bar-hopping and drinking fairly heavily, while the other does not.

A movie called Days of Wine and Roses dealt with just that topic. The guy gets sober, but his wife gets deeper into alcoholism. She ends up telling him he's no fun anymore and leaves him. It sounds to me like your ex has an escalating drinking problem. That can make a person not want a non-drinker around. You notice she's gravitating toward someone who'll drink with her.

I'ld highly recommend you see that movie. Also, you might want to attend a few Al-Anon meetings. (There for people whose lives have been affected by someone else's drinking.)
Thanks for this!
