He's ticking down the MLC checklist

[ThinkingItThru]

I also want to encourage you to think about if you really want to continue in a relationship with someone with this type of personality.

Divorce Busting Board, Half, bad form.

Jack, I've got to respectfully disagree with you here and as someone who's been living this for awhile I've got to agree with HalfMissing. Everyone should review the entirety of their relationship and look at all their alternatives. DB is just as much about learning to live and be happy with yourself as it is the spouse returning because I'd say there's a chance that they won't.

Pretty, read a book called "Living with the Passive Aggressive Man" by Scott Wetzler. I wish I had read this book 6 months ago, heck...6 years ago. I would have not beat myself up for the past few months. When you've lived with a PA for 20 years like I have you fall into patterns. This book helps point out your errors and correct those because that is in your control. Jack is right about that one. We all have something to contribute to the downfall of a relationship. But, if you are truly living with a Passive Aggressive, there is not much you can do unless they really want to change except learn to live with it or leave it.
