Passive Aggressive Husband: Tips For Better Communication
It is difficult to learn what is going on in this relationship, fast; it’s more of a slow process.. Pay attention to your hurt feelings, because they are the sole indicator that something is amiss and that you can’t take your security for granted in your marriage..
She never could tell which of the two responses: love or hatred would be on her way, due to his passive aggressive behavior..
The sequence of impacts went from mental torture, to a little love to broken promises to heart pain in an unbroken string of facts.. She never was sure of his affection and began doubting herself.
Was she the cause of this treatment? There was the possibility of him behaving better due to her giving more love, only in her imagination.?
There is no need to blame yourself. Having unsolved needs makes her dependent on him promising some relief to her..
It is impossible to push a passive aggressive husband to change if he can get away with his own communication style and ignore her needs..
Which is the best way to deal with a passive aggressive personality??
A passive aggressive personality has been in the making for years, and is part of the center of the self.. It is NOT a response to her behavior; it’s his “normal response” to everything that happens in his world, his marriage included…
Without entering into the psychological elements of what makes this person behave in such a defensive way, what is important to see is that this is a way of being, structurally organized, and nobody can change it from the outside.
Only the person who has learned to react in this way can realize the damage it causes to any relationship and make a plan to modify his own responses.
There is no way a wife can avoid telling him how much he hurts her with his behavior.. By denouncing as hurtful some of his responses, she is helping him recognize how inappropriate his answers are…and then hope that her words will motivate him to do otherwise.
