Last night was my SIL's engagement party. My FIL got very drunk as usual. As I was with my DW and 2 young DCs, I left with DW's grandfather as I couldn't fit in the same as car as DW and 2 car seats.
As we were ready to leave, FIL announces that he and MlL will travel in our car too. DW's grandad and myself waited 15 mins for my inlaws to come out of the pub. When they did, my FIL insisted I get out of my seat so he could sit in the front. I said that as I was already buckled into my seat, it was probably easier if he sat in the back. He refused and slammed the door. He then opened the door again and tried to undo my seatbelt and pull me out of the car. I refused to budge and asked him if he realised how childish he was being. My DW asked him what was wrong and said he said that her tosser husband wouldnt move. Bear in mind, he has no physical reason to sit in the front. In fact, I'm considerably taller than him.
He then said that he hasnt liked me for the last 6 months and that this was the breaking point, threatening that beating me up was the next step. He then refused again to sit in the back saying 'I do not sit in the back of cars'. He stopped my MIL getting a lift home with us and walked home instead.
In the last few years, he has ruined several important events whilst drunk, including his other daughter's wedding. He was also punched by a taxi driver after starting a row at our wedding.
Today, he has slinked away again with his tail between his legs without any sort of apology. My DW spoke with MIL and she said, 'You know hat he's like when he's drunk'.
Am I wrong to be sick of his behaviour? He is a bully and a coward and he never suffers any consequences for his actions.
