You detach yourself from her so that you don't go down with the ship.How do you deal with a passive agressive wife?
Wow! That is the one question anyone who is living with a passive aggressive person asks. It seems to me that even though they are the ones with the problem, you are going to have to be the one to change. Passive aggressive people don't believe that they are doing anything wrong. This seems odd to me since it is usually their spouse they are acting this way to and no one else. Look up some stuff on conflict management, that might help you to control your anger. Other than that, get some counseling to help you. I noticed a change in my husband (a very small change) after I started to do things for myself. Basically, you will have to learn to become passive if you want your relationship to work. I am still trying to find some other way. Simply put, I like feeling, whether its good or bad, my emotions are who I am, and I don't want to give them up. I like who I am, but I don't like the angry person I become when my husband chooses to ignore me for days and then pretends he didn't know that he was doing this. Sometimes it feels as though he is talking in circles. He says one thing and than an hour later he says the opposite. Anyway, good luck. I hope you do find a way to live with your wife. I am sure that she is a good person but for what ever reason she doesn't feel worthy of you, this is why she builds herself up by breaking you down. Start doing stuff for you, and stop focusing on what will make her happy. April
This is a symptom - the underlying problem might be different.
Try this. You and your wife should both answer these questions:
1. Does my spouse make my needs, desires and happiness a top priority?
2. Is my spouse skilled at meeting my needs, desires and happiness?
If the answers are no/not really then this is the underlying problem. Until this is solved, misery is your lot in life.
Suggest counseling.
Together -and separately.
passive aggressive??? now there's a contradiction!!!
Women, can't live with them, end of sentence.
Send her back in the kitchen. She'll figure it out. :)
