Expertise I can answer questions about the subject of passive aggressiveness. Do you feel manipulated and frustrated by a date, a mate, a friend or relative? People often play the game of passive aggressiveness by withholding information that you want, and by "obstructionism." They communicate their angry feelings in subtle ways such as making you wait, withholding reassurance or affection, avoiding any fulfillment of your emotional needs, and many other kinds of obstinence and subterfuge. It can be completely frustrating and crazy making when you feel like you can't put your finger on what they are doing because they claim innocence so strongly. It's all about control. And pushing your buttons in order to satisfy their dysfunctional need to control your emotions.
Experience I have read so many books on this subject that I can spot it from far away. And most men have at least some of it, because men are not taught how to deal with their anger and so their anger must "go underground" in order to be accepted by society, however, it always peeks its head up in passive aggressiveness.
