Hi Ambivalent, thanks for stopping in! H and I both have passive aggressive behaviors. I am quite bad at it as well and I am trying to work on it. He has never withheld sex (that I know of), although I believe he does withhold affection. I think he still feels resentment towards me and it comes out in other areas.
In the past I used to use passive aggressive behaviors to avoid dealing with things. Like you, it was about avoiding the confrontation. I was afraid of approaching him so I would deal with it in another way.
I guess that is something for us to bring up to the counselor for sure!
