You are sooooooooo not alone!
Hmmm......I would pretend to have ordered him the next drink he requested before he went to the restroom and try to get him out the door before he realized it.

But I would also use other weird manipulations to try to control his behavior or its effect on me. For example, I would try to stay up just late enough to get him to pass out on the couch instead of in bed with me. I would use niceness to manipulate situations in times where I should have just walked away, such as when he would be insistent on driving, I would say, "AH, it's not that I don't think you can drive us. I know you're okay to drive, but you know how these cops are....any hint of alcohol, and they'll get you. So I know you're fine, but just let me drive?" I should have not been there in the first place, but I would use my backwards way of manipulating him. Come to think of it, that probably screwed up his thinking even more.

I have more....let me think.
