We have been doing great. Obviously a lot of connection and love between us. But EVERYTIME I try to talk about the affair, or anything related to it, it ends up in a fight and him feeling sorry for himself. How does a normal person deal with this?? It is driving me crazy.

Is he in counselling for the passive aggressive? If not then what is he doing to fix himself? Self help books?

It's hard work for a passive aggressive to fix themselves, takes many years to learn how to change themselves,

It does sound like he needs some communication and relationship skills. It can't be swept under the rug, or the chances of his repeating are too high.

I'm dealing with this too. Makes me want to shoot blood out of my eyes!

FYI, there is a thread about PA in the I Can Relate forum.
