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.
HMMM so you are choosing to divorce rather than have conflict?
Sounds like another conflict avoider move to me.
OH - and FTR I am a CONFLICT AVOIDER too, actually I would propose that most LBS's are in that boat.
