Hurt Feelings And A Passive Agressive Man Part 2 by Kisson: 5:23am On Sep 17, 2006
Please help me.  I have two questions== First, how do I stop showing my reaction on my face when my man unwittingly hurts my feelings in front of other people? embarassed embarassed  Second, how do i deal with my man who is sometimes passive aggressive toward me? sad

Also because some people thought I meant he was hitting me, this is the definition of passive agressive:

a method of dealing with stress or frustration, it results in the person attacking other people in subtle, indirect, and seemingly passive ways. It can manifest itself as resentment, stubbornness, procrastination, sullenness, or intentional failure at doing requested tasks. For example, someone who is passive-aggressive might take so long to get ready for a party they do not wish to attend, that the party is nearly over by the time they arrive.
Someone who engages in passive-aggressive behavior will typically not confront others directly about problems, but instead will attempt to undermine their confidence or their success through comments and actions which, if challenged, can be explained away innocently so as not to place blame on the passive-aggressive person.

Any man that shows any form of aggressiveness toward a woman is immature and cannot be converted, so do as coco said and leave him. Please do so while you still have all of your body part intact.

DAMN!!!!!!!! The guy hasn't done anything wrong embarassed

@Kisson QS 1 - Simply stop wearing yo emotions on yo sleave - take it in, pause, smile - dismiss it - don't dwell on it!
QS 2 - Call him up on it, let him know that u're not his punching bag and for him to direct his frustrations to the relevant party/situation.

I laugh when I read some response like "leave the man", "he's not worth it" etc. It shows that a lot of people still do not understand that men and women relate to issue differently for most part.

@OP: Communication is essential here. Have you tried discussing the issue with him? How much of him do you know i.e personality, demeanor etc? Has he always been like that? Are you aware of any reasons or incidence btw you two that might be influencing his demeanor? I ask because, for all that matters, he may not even be aware that he does these things, let alone how it makes you feel. I know it sounds prudish to most women, but men in general are not always cued into emotions as most women do. You owe it to yourself to let him know what he does and how those actions make you feel. If he is matured enough, loves and respect you, he should come through with whatever it is that is going on or better still allay your fears and change his demeanor accordingly.

Good Luck
