Many people in AA believe that any type of behavior is fine as long as you don't drink over it. They clam that this sort of "rigerous honesty" keeps them sober, and if people object to it, it might cause them to start drinking again.

If you want an idea of how perverse these beliefs are, read the Chapter of the Big Book entitled "To Wives". This chapter was supposed to have been written by Lois Wilson, founder Bill Wilson's wife, but was actually written by Bill Wilson himself:

If you are not an AA member yourself, your BF and his AA friends will never totally accept you, you are an "earth person" or a "normie". At least one in four marriages break up during the first year of one partner's involvement in AA ( http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/index.php?term=pto-19940901-000025&page=7 ).
