Were you jealous of your girlfriend's pets? Family? Friends? Did you do/say things that you knew would cut into her heart? Things that would push her buttons. Also, I tried not to argue or react to his comments. Sometimes I couldn't help it and I would cry. Then he would make fun of me and laugh at me for crying, pop open a beer and head to the patio. It was like he had achieved his goal. He had won. The next morning he would ask me why I couldn't just get over it, because everybody fights. Is this typical alcoholic behavior?
