Do you live with one? Do you get frusterated to the point of wanting to throw stuff because he just doesnt face the problems? Are there times when there's an obvious problem and you can tell he knows it, but he pretends like everything is just fine? ........... Share your stories if you can relate!! Thanks

oh yes i guess i can relate with you.... my ex boyfriend was passive - aggressive.... he used to live for the moment.... where as sometimes its good but not everytime.... specially when it comes to finances ..... we were always finding ourselves in a deep spot but whenever i used to turn for help he used to be around witha n expression of "yeah yeah everything is alright we'll manage somehow" i was always the one trying to make some extra money as we had dogs too of our own ....so for their food and our pocket money it was mostly my money that was used....sometimes he used to get a couple of bucks but it hardly used to stay in his hand..... when asked where the money has gone there would be no reply ..... if i spend money i was asked a million times about it but when he used to spend no questions should be asked...finally i couldnt take it anymore.....

And sometimes it's the woman who is the passive agressive one.

I would consider my last serious boyfriend to be passive-aggressive. We were having financial problems and he would just go on as if everything was just fine. Leaving me to figure things out. When i would try to talk to him about solutions, he would just give me a blank stare and a poor excuse. But then when I would find solutions and not include him on how or what I was doing to solve the problems, he would blow up and get insulted. Needless to say we are no longer together.

OMG...Yes. And we were engaged to be married on 7/7/2007. I stopped the wedding three weeks prior. Just had an impending feeling of doom regarding it.

I dated a passive agressive man for 8 months. It was tough. I actually gave up and threw in the towel. I'm a mom and I had too much on my plate to deal with his mood swings. My kids didn't need it and they didn't need me being so distracted. I understand that he probably had some emotional issues but I'm not a shrink and while I could sympathize with his angusish.

Sometimes that can happen in a relationship and I do have my moments of frustration. My husband is a good man but he seems to go through personality changes once in a while. I might be a little moody myself. Maybe I should not complain. I don't mad enough to throw things though. Sometimes in a relationship you just have to accept the other person because we all have our little ways. Just try to have some patience and things could possibly get better.
