I'm interested in what FM has to say about whining being passive-aggressive. Maybe someone will explain that. Never thought of it that way.
For example, if Hope's H is whining about working so hard, there could be the unspoken implication that it's her fault that he's working so hard because he has to support her, etc. If there's that kind of edge to his whining, I would call that passive aggressive. I certainly was the recipient of a LOT of that kind of thing from my H.
