my wife is incredibly passive agressive. she tells me everything she wants to say to someone who ticks her off. She has me make complaint calls when an appliance goes haywire. I'm tired of having to listen to what she would've said. what can i do to get her to be more up front w/ppl who she's having disagreements with?

Refuse to make the call and tell her she should do it.

I just found a really great website dealing with this very issue. Go to coping.org and go to the relationship tools section. I realized I am passive aggressive, why I am, what will happen if it continues and how to work on it. Good luck.

You can't make her be more aggressive, her passiveness won't let her. Tune her out next time she starts in on a tirade. You know she's not going to do anything about it. And if she asks you to, tell her yeah ok, you'll take care of it. Then pretend to call someone. It'll satisfy her.

people always seem to take there pain out on the people there are closest to.But u need to tell her that u would take it anymore. if she loves u she will take on board what u say and how u feel. if she dont then u might want to bring up an ultimatum that if she don't change then ur marriage might not be worth all the effort u have put in it.

evidently we are ALL loopy at some ingredient or different, we've our own idiosyncrasies n our own recommendations-set too. Our undesirable recommendations/thoughts approximately others would sturdy be the equivalent with theirs too. the only thank you to stay away from situation is to stay away from stepping into somebody's technique n basically be as cordial/civil to one yet another. adjust to disagree while critical as a fashion to not step on each and each different's ft.

listen.... weave out wut u dont understand and wut u do understand..... women are by far the most passive creatures on earth.... but in reality she needs to step up and be a women and relize that small talk is for kids and that if she really wants to get something out write everything down and say it..... it should relieve some tension off of her and make her more confident in confronting people..... THE RIGHT WAY
