Did he say anything else when he was drunk? Does he get drunk often?

I think that when people are drunk they aren’t necessarily speaking truthfully. I think drunk people are prone to exaggeration and are quite illogical as well.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Most people don’t see completely eye-to-eye with their in-laws because they didn’t grow up with them, so their experiences and core beliefs are going to be, at least somewhat, different.

Are you ever frustrated or baffled by his family?


No he doesn't get drunk often. When he's drunk, he's no longer the sweet, sensitive, loving and empathetic man he really is. His personality completely changes, and if I cry he doesn't even notice, even if he's looking right at me.
I'm hoping he was exaggerating when he was drunk. He does get on with my family, he often says he loves them, and they equally get on with him.
I get frustrated with his family for never having money even though they have good-paying jobs. They are always asking him to borrow money, and he sometimes doesn't get it back. But he gets annoyed about it too, he often rants to me about them not having money even though they earn more than he does. But with my family, I don't agree with his opinion that they talk rubbish, because they're ordinary people talking about ordinary things, so I don't know what he expects people should talk about.

I honestly wouldn’t let it bother me. Everyone talks “rubbish” sometimes. It’s not much of an insult. No family is perfect.

You should try not to be around him when he’s drunk if it bothers you.

Let's face it....drunk people can be real a**holes.

One time, a good friend of mine got drunk, and got out of his car in the middle of the Brooklyn Bridge to take a leak.

Drunks can really do and say stupid things. I don't like being around a person who can't hold his/her liquor.

That is why I don't understand, for the life of me, why it is so cool and trendy to go out every weekend to get really drunk, when all it makes people do is either become aggressive, arsehole-y, weird, unpredictable, awkward, insensitive, or ill. I thought NTs were afraid of people who acted like that, yet most only accept you if you are into inducing this behaviour, but they don't accept you if you are naturally awkward or weird or unpredictable. People point and laugh at an autistic person flapping their arms, yet getting drunk and turning into what people deem socially unacceptable, is perfectly fine. I mean the only reason why the others at work my age don't accept me is because I don't drink. And the vast majority of people, especially between the ages of 16 and 40, do like to get drunk at social events or they at least think that getting drunk is funny, trendy or cool. It's hard to meet people who don't care for getting drunk, because they are outnumbered by people who do get drunk. Why has humanity reduced to this?

Just hang out with sober people----or at least people who know how to drink "socially"....

Don't put up with drunk behavior....don't excuse it.

That's how you have to deal with drunkenness. Have the same standards for a person drunk as sober.

I don’t like hanging out with people who are drunk, either. I try to avoid that scenario as much as possible.

It’s really hot, almost 40 degrees C here and there is not always reliable air conditioning. I’m having an outbreak of either heat rash or eczema all over my hands and feet. I’m itchy and bleeding.

I think the smog is irritating my eyes and nose. Mosquitos everywhere. I’m covered with bites on top of the heat rash thing.

The road is shared by humans, cars, and motorbikes alike. It’s a miracle I haven’t got run over from the chaos. Also, stray dogs just run wild. Though, the road slightly better than the last time I came here.

Visiting relatives is tough, sometimes.

I hate my life right now.
I'm wondering if God hates me too
cause every time I get in a seemingly good situation that could help me
something has to be perfectly bad
to screw it all up.
Like now.
I'm at a shelter, it was working being here.
I was allowed to sleep in the living room cause the f"""ing person by me has some
blue light on all night long.

Then, the boss said I couldn't. Now I've only
had 30 min of sleep.
I feel like f"""ing screaming and hitting things. I wrote a note to the boss and slipped it under her door.
I don't give a crap if it's not allowed,
I'm sleeping in the living room tomorrow.
(, That's not what I wrote.) I said something like, it's not fair that she breaks the rules and keeps a light on all night cause she's scared of the dark and I'm not allowed to break the rules to sleep when I cannot sleep with that light on. And if it isn't addressed I'd have to go out on the streets.

Or go to my parents I guess. But this sucks. I'm gonna leave my parents anyway when I can....

Why am I here if I can't function and
keep my son? People (a lot) are jerks.

And, I've done nearly everything. Exhausted my life to keep him.
I may not for real be able.

Sometimes I wish I'd just die.

This world is so messed up.
In the USA, insane.

Phones replacing one on one communication, people not even talking to each other

People addicted to almost anything

The poor given a crap ton rules to follow
that's at times impossible

Being told one thing by health professionals on how to live healthy, but
business acts like it cares about people's personal health when all they really care about is money

No individuality just left to be or enjoy
For example video cameras, idols, rules about how to do art when it's supposed to be fun

Smokers get to sit outside more during work.
Non smokers that are allergic can't enjoy being outside because smokers get the benches or tables.

Freedom being taken away to be a bit adventurous because of all this sueing, covering our buts nonsense.
For example, can't crawl on rocks near a river that people used to have fun on because it's near a business
Can't climb up a stone ledge in mall because you may fall 3 feet

Organizations, businesses almost always understaffed

This world is ridiculous.

I'm about done with all this crap.

Oh, yeah, and can't cry in public because
people will think "OMG, something's wrong" and instead of counseling by hugging or reassuring, call a security guard, recommend therapy, CSU, mental
hospital. (Real case scenarios).

Losing my son probably on top of all this due to sensory issues...

Allow me to rant about the weather too. It's supposed to be June, yet we've had nothing but rain, or if it isn't raining it's still not hot enough. This fresh breeze from the north or east is spoiling the summer because it makes it feel too chilly to be able to feel comfortable outside having a picnic or going down by the sea or something. Wearing a coat in the summer just doesn't feel right. We only get 3 months of summer, then it's all over, so we want it to be hot for as long as possible. I dislike September, even if it's warm, because all the trees and flowers are dying and it's just not the same, plus the days are getting shorter and shorter. I hate the dark.

I still think the world is f***ed up.
Most people now would probably care about TV more than each other.
Or care more about gossip and addiction.

=_= ... what I can't stand about '7cups' at times is how the listeners are in certain instances barely better than the ridiculous and/or inflammatory members involved in groups chat. It ticks me off so much when they leave and stop chatting with barely a reason.

Trying not to be be on this (arguably better) website much either.

Proceeding to the machine which you return library content to, out of habit mean to return library content. “Don’t you know how to read?!?” says an intrusive voice beside me before I go ‘beyond the habit’ and see a ~’temporarily out of order’ screen. “ In more than one way =_=”, I think to myself.

She walks away to a clerk and tells them about what she just said, I walk beside her; usually when a machine is out of order you need to go to reception afterwards. I say “understood” to going to another receptionist and return a comic.

Dumba— walks ahead of me on my way out, I walk up a staircase which leads me to the ‘breather’ before typing this barely several minutes after.

Now does this justify a ~20 minute ‘breathing session’ or can I return to my dog ASAP?.

A part of town I hate. Admit it doesn’t help how I watched ‘Django unchained’ discretely overnight.

some folks don't realize we're all equal. they feel less than unless they're one up. you're going to run into lots of them working with the public. short "breathers" may be okay but, mostly, try to focus on the wiser, kinder folks. i used to take frequent short restroom breaks when i was a medical resident - enough to be noticed but not enough to keep me from accomplishing my job. does that help? and maybe meditate before leaving for work on loving everyone. insecure people (even the ones who express their insecurity toxically) need love most of all.

I'll never understand why so many people consider willful stupidity and ignorance a valid excuse for rude, dangerous or plain harmful/criminal behaviour. Especially these days when almost everybody has access to free basic information on almost any given subject :wall:
