LOl, AS The Stomach Turns. I like that.

Hang in there Hannelore. Hold your ground. If he's making your life a living hell don't let him off just because he's had a few tears.

He needs counceling and possibly medication. It sounds like his behaviour may be linked to his retiring and the last chick leaving the nest. Some men lose it about that time.

Men who are depressed act differently then women. Instead of acting withdrawn and mopie they usually show anger and contempt for others. Sounds like depression to me.

There has to be a reason he doesn't like your family. Why does he see them as a threat? Is he insecure and thinks they take your time away from him?

Keep us posted.
