relationships

Some people are in Passive-Aggressive relationships, and they can be toxic. It’s an expressive behavior full of resentment and antagonism. The person does not express their negative feelings in a healthy way. Instead, they express them in an underhanded way. They are usually very hostile and cynical. It can make your life very uncomfortable. If your partner is continually giving you the cold shoulder, deliberately not speaking to you, and withholds intimacy then this can be a sign. It’s as if they are punishing you for something you did and you have no clue what you did because they won’t tell you. Instead of communicating, you get the silent treatment. It’s like an “I’ll show you” attitude.When they do speak, it’s usually in a negative tone out of resentment. There are times when they will deliberately try to make you upset or angry. They’ll do things on purpose they know you don’t like. Sometimes they will make critical remarks in a joking way and then say “Just Kidding.” They take power and sometimes are vengeful. Sometimes you don’t see this because you feel as though you deserve this kind of treatment. They brainwash you into thinking it. They send mixed messages, talk about you to others, and put you down in front of others. If you are with someone like that, seek help, or you may have to leave. Your health will suffer if you continue in something that is destructive to your well being…..Carol Guajardo
