Passive-Aggressive Relationships
What are passive-aggressive
relationships?
When your in a
passive aggressive relationship, you and
the other person are in an unhealthy relationship. Why is that? Because
each of you learn how to control the other person with your emotions
and actions.
Let's look further
into this....
When you are a passive
person, you withhold your
thoughts and feelings from others.
When you are an aggressive
person, however, you
believe that your opinions are more important than the other person.
So, when you combine
passive and aggressive, you
have got
"Nothing is
bothering me. I'm fine!" (Three days later...) Your screaming,
fighting, and yelling at your significant other because he or she
didn't do what you wanted, needed, or expected. This occurs until both
partners are so drained that they either start avoiding each other,
start yelling at each other, or are on the verge of a breakup or
divorce.
Being a
passive-aggressive person creates
passive-aggressive relationships, which means your behavior is
affecting the other person, whether you're aware of it or not.
Although you have
the right to be angry, sad, and/or
frustrated, you do not have the right to control someone else with your
emotions.
It is, however, the
responsibility of each person to
recognize what's working or not working in the relationship, and to
communicate this to each other.
If you are ready to
overcome this miserable
way
of being I recommend that you learn more about yourself (look
through this website for that)
and improve your communication
skills.
Overall, this will
improve your relationships with
others and the relationship you have with the self.
