[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 611332, member: 1550"] You know what? This situation is exactly the reason I don't drink and don't hang with people who are getting drunk (I don't care if they get drunk, but not around us). This is not uncommon. The poor fool, because he was drunk, got sexually provocative and obnoxious and I'm not sure I would have said anything either because of his frame of mind. Don't get me wrong. I would have reacted. I probably would have slapped him...lol. And I'd have left it at that, except to explain to husband. If he'd been sober, I would have probably told his wife, but not sure I'd have gotten that involved, other than to report to her that he had been driving drunk with child. I have not been in this sort of situation since we do avoid drunks like the plague and leave if we suspect, but my sister hangs out with people who drink and this actually is COMMON when somebody is a bit lit up by booze. She has seen men make passes at other women in front of their wives while plastered. In fact, she says it happens all the time. I don't know if it is true or not. Just got her word. It does seem that men flirt with her married men friends try to touch her a lot when they are loaded. Even a girlfriend of hers tried to once...go figure. This is while they were all hanging at some bar. I actually would probably put it down to "idiotically drunken behavior" and move on. I wouldn't engage him. I wouldn't socialize with him. But, if I had any interest in peace amongst my DNA clan, I would just have let it go, with the solemn promise to myself to never hang with him again unless in a large group and to avoid him at all costs while he is drunk. No drama is more emotional and crazed than amongst DNA/family members and, due to having such a dysfunctional family, before I'd had the guts to ditch them, I put up with a lot of crud just to hope for peace and this lack of family gossip and meanness and false information often due to everyone not knowing the details. If it were me, I would have taken the child, but not said anything. Either way, however, it will pass. If father in law doesn't believe you, the best thing you can do is to try to work it out so that it doesn't bother you. I would tell myself, during times when I was not believed about things, "Well, you knew this was probably going to happen so just move on." Is it really that important? Hugs and I hope it all works out and that you do not allow father in law to hurt you too much. [/QUOTE]
