  Dear Prudence,

  Yesterday, my husband and I attended a St. Patrick’s get-together at my sister “Allison’s” place. My husband overindulged, and ended up groping Allison’s SIL, and her husband decked him in response. I realize my husband did a gross thing, but wasn’t this reaction overkill?

  You two deserve each other.
  
  Why is it phrased that he 'ended up'.  Your husband both failed to control what he was consuming and then also failed to control his actions in front of family in the form of SEXUAL ASSAULT. 
  
  Take a LONG hard look at what that was and thank your lucky stars that they aren't pressing charges.   If I was your sister you could also consider that your dance card is now more open.

  If he did that in front of you… imagine what he does behind your back?

  LW has to swap out the sexual assault with, like, he drank too much and vomited on the carpet, for this letter to make sense.  I think BIL's reaction was just right and I feel really sad for LW that she doesn't think so.  Her H sounds like the scum of the earth.

  I mean, I don't think I'd be delighted if my husband punched someone, but that's really, really not the problem here. 
  
  LW needs to figure out why she's choosing to stay with this guy and minimizing his actions. I know a guy like this and am always trying to figure out why his wife puts up with it. As best as I can tell, it's conditioning like an abuse victim.
