One thing I’d like to warn you about is that sometimes when we experience personal growth we can get negative reactions from those around us. It’s probably because we aren’t acting like our “usual selves.”
I love my husband but he learned passive aggression from his family of origin. It drives him crazy when I don’t buy into it. Example: we have a cat and out of the blue he’ll demand to know where the cat is. (Translation; go find the cat.) this morning we had the following conversation. Hubman: where’s the cat Me: don’t know Hubman: well when was the last time you saw him Me: last night when he stuck his big hairy a@@ in my face. Hubman: well what if he got out: Me: so what if he did? (He can’t get out of the yard) Hubman: well I’m naked, go find him. Me: if you want to know where he is, put some clothes on and look for him. Husband: slams door, comes out clothed and thrashes around the yard and finds the cat. Husband: you don’t care about the cat! Me: I do care, but I don’t have the words to express how much I don’t care where he is every moment of the day. I support his right to be a cat. Hubman: are you ok? Have you taken your Meds? You seem cranky. (Tranlastion; you didn’t buy into my bullish!t and I don’t like that.) Just a day in a life.

PA ppl are horrible. I sympathize. My mother is always PA. I always have to put together what she's telling me by the things she doesn't say.
Then I come off as the asshole when I just state what she wants and say 'yes' or 'no'.

You support his right to be a cat. MEOW!!! Love that. Sorry about your communication troubles though, that's annoying, I know.

My last relationship was like that. Glad that I don't have to deal with it now.

Ugh I just went through this yesterday.......without the questions about how I'm feeling. Just the browbeating and no snappy replies by me. Just cowering.
