Do you feel unhappy eventhough you are with someone whom you are supposed to be intimate with? Do you feel that instead of making your life peaceful, your relationship becomes stressful and hard to deal with?
There are a lot of factors in your relationship that puts you in an unhappy situation. We can presume that your partner might be in a matured relationship with you but what you may not know is that he may have unresolved personal pain from childhood that makes him hard to deal with. You partner might also never learnt how to accept and manage his anger. You must know the reason why your relationship is in a chaotic situation, if you fail to do so, chances are you will have a hard time dealing with your partner and your relationship as a whole.
In this article, you will find out if your partner has passive aggressive tendencies harmful to your relationship. This will help you understand your relationship with your partner. If you are able to understand his past, you can regain your integrity and self-respect.
Here are some signs of a person who has a PA behavior:
– Acts passive but aggressively gets what he wants – Agrees up front then doesn’t do what he agreed to and make things complicated in the end – Strikes his anger indirectly – Gets out of the situation where there is confrontation and criticism over an issue – Complaining about anything and thinks deeply how his life is being cursed
A passive aggressive person are emotionally unavailable and can’t allow anybody to get very emotional close. They tend to reject emotional intensity and would find comfort by their inner isolation.
You can try to be patient and understanding but eventually, you will be confused by a barage of mixed irrrational or emotional contradictory messages. They would blame you for making them angry. As a result, you feel dismissed, ignored and rejected. You do not know how to process and react.  The negative environment alone can diminish your ability to decide, think and pinpoint the bad side of the relationship.
Your passive aggressive partner is confusing you that is why the situation does not improve; at some point, you explode. Sometimes there are behavioral patterns that you can adapt from your partner like being violent.
Do you want to be happy in a relationship?

If you answer YES, then you should understand that his reactions have nothing to do with YOU! The fact is that he would react in the same way to any one who threatens to enter into his private world. His fear is not of you, but of intimacy and yielding to emotional compromise with any woman. Know where you are when conflict appears and have more power to decide what is next in your life.

To your happiness,
