Most definitely! I fine trait I picked up from having the mother that I have...lol.

Edited to add:

Another reason I avoid conflict is that I really get nowhere with him when we have conflicts. His way of 'arguing,' is to shut me down. He will get angry with me if I express dissatisfaction or anger. Also, he does the passive-aggressive silent treatment if he is angry with me. So, in the long run it is better to suck it up, than to be ignored.
