I have been receiving the newsletter for years now, but only joined the forum this morning.

Please help. My husband turns into a monster when he drinks too much. Granted, it does not happen often, and when it happens at home and we are alone, I don't mind so much. But when it happens when we are between friends, and he makes a complete [censored] of himself, then it becomes a problem. He would be overly friendly with me at first, and then, seeing that I am not responding to him, he will start a heated discussion with me in front of everyone. It is as if he will try to be as annoying as possible, and to do as much to irritate me as possible.
He said to me that he made a discision to have fun, and that I am a sourpuss.

What to do?????

I suggest you read the concepts on this site. You can learn about Point of Joint Agreement (POJA) and the Rules of Protection etc.

Rules of Protection

You can help your marriage grow healthier by both agreeing to work on it.

You may want to read the books Lovebusters and His Needs Her Needs both by Dr. Willard Harley.

I feel for you. my mother-in law has the same relationship with my father-in law.

I get embarrassed for her because he always if drunk or intoxicated and starts conversational fights with her. I think after so many years she has just learned to put up with it.

Unfortunatly due to some poor choices she (mother-in law) had to move in with my sister-in law(made the poor choices)so they have been living seperately for a year now. Now that she could move back home....she hasn't says he's just too difficult to live with.

Please look up the info on this sight . You may still be able to get help before you become too tired too.
