i'm on your side.......i had a bro-in-law who hugged like that when i was a teenager. it is'nt appropriate.....plain and simple. i know exactly how you felt about not being able to get away from him. they do that on purpose....it's a power thing.....it's black and white to me. maybe your husband doesn't understand completely about inappropriate touching. try finding him something to read on the subject. if you want to talk more, i'm here. pat
