			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I feel that he is “<strong>Attacking Me in Public</strong>,” the dream I’m yearning for is… protection first and recognition always.</p>
<p>About 60% of responses expressed dreams like these:</p>
<p>1. “I wish I could feel safe and trust him completely, knowing he would never turn on me and try to bring me down. However, he is unpredictable. At first he would attack me in public, but now he is more careful, trying to make himself look like the all-around nice guy. He wouldn’t dare do anything to jeopardize that. The public may buy into his dysfunctional façade, but I can’t bring myself to trust that he’s turned over a new leaf.”</p>
<p>2. “I don’t want to feel attacked, harassed, and bullied – I want to feel lifted up, cherished, with all the dignity that a caring husband gives a woman. I wish he wouldn’t undermine me and demean me at home, or worse, in public for everyone to see and gossip about. It makes me feel worthless.”</p>
<p><strong>In what other ways would you know that he is there to value and appreciate you?</strong></p>
<p>•	“He cherishes me like I am something precious, and always watches out for my well-being.”<br />
•	“When we are out and find ourselves disagreeing, we talk things over in private &#8211; calmly.”<br />
•	“He spoils me with praise, whether we are home or not. It gives him pleasure to show his approval in public. It proves to me how much he appreciates me.”<br />
•	“He is sincere enough that even complete strangers on the street can tell he cares for me deeply.”<br />
•	“The idea of bullying me is the farthest thing from his mind. His priority is caring for me and protecting me from trouble and harm.”</p>
<p><strong>I simply need to feel valued and appreciated by him everywhere</strong>.</p>
<p>NOW that you deeply acknowledge your deep need to be valued and appreciated by the person most near you, how are you going to get this appreciation you dream about ? How are you going to challenge his way of demeaning you in public, as to make appear that he is the one in control in your marriage, and show him that is really vital for you to feel cherished by him? And how are you planning to heal your self-esteem from the damage caused by his criticism and continuous public put downs? Do you see a way to heal your marriage from this kind of hurt?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I feel that he is “<strong>Always Fighting against My Ideas</strong>,” the dream I’m yearning for is… team work.</p>
<p>There were some responses (58%) telling about this dream situation:</p>
<p>1. “My dream is to feel that I am half of a whole: he supports me, I support him, and together we make one whole couple work. I want someone who challenges and encourages me in equal measure, making me a better person. He doesn’t have to indulge my every idea – just support the truly good ones and gently disagree with the not-so-great ones. I want a teammate, someone who will work with me. My greatest regret is that my husband has not been as invested in our children as I wished, nor supported me in my efforts towards them, but always coming with a contrary idea that leaves me alone and confused.”    </p>
<p>2. “I have learned that the more I push for something, the more he pulls away from it. So, I have left ideas of moving in together, even after a year of dating, in the back of my mind. Outwardly, I show him that the idea completely disinterests me now. If he would be open to ideas and be willing to talk about things even when they scare him, I wouldn’t have to hide my dreams in the shadows.”</p>
<p>3. “What I need is for my husband to let me know that he thinks my ideas and opinions are valid and well founded. Otherwise, he’s not treating me as his partner or his ally; he’s treating me as an enemy, as someone to be dismissed. He’s telling me that I don’t have the right to make decisions or have input.”</p>
<p><strong>In what other ways would you know that he is there to work with you?</strong></p>
<p>•	“He makes me feel that we are on the same team. We both want resolution and compromise, so we both give ideas while being open to new ones.”<br />
•	“Even if he does not agree with my every idea, he appreciates the creativity and resourcefulness that go into them, and encourages me to stay motivated.”<br />
•	“He doesn’t rush – he listens carefully and tries hard to see things from my point of view.”<br />
•	“Since we listen well to each other, we realized that we share a lot of common ideas.”<br />
•	“When I have a good idea, he is quick to acknowledge it and work with me to make it happen. When he disagrees, he gives me an honest opinion; not a derogatory one.”</p>
<p><strong>I simply need to feel supported by him.</strong></p>
<p>NOW that you deeply acknowledge this need to feel supported by him, the person nearer you…how are you going to find the direct and clear support you need to face everyday’s life challenges? How far do you think you can go without his explicit words of recognition and support, being him the most important person in your life? And how are you going to repair the damage caused by his lack of recognition of your best ideas that forces you to feel incompetent and worthless? Where is the motivation to keep developing yourself coming from?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I feel that he is “<strong>Punishing Me for Crying,</strong>” the dream I’m yearning for is… comfort.</p>
<p>Most of the responses (68%) expressed dreams around the following insights:</p>
<p>1. “I wish that he honestly cared and was concerned when he saw that I was crying. I wish he could see that I’m hurting, pure and simple. What I need at those times is not to be dismissed or told I’m playing the victim, like usual – I need comfort and understanding, things that come only with real, honest communication.”<br />
2. “It would be wonderful if I could be emotional when I need to and he would just hug me close, stroke my hair, and let me cry it out. I don’t want to feel that I have to hide from him or he’ll laugh at me for crying. That’s just not healthy; everybody cries. I’d rather have compassion and a desire to make me feel better.”<br />
3. “I want to be able to feel whatever it is I’m feeling, whatever it is that’s troubling me, without being made to feel that my feelings are unfounded and that I&#8217;m being unreasonable. My husband is a Marine and can’t grasp the concept of ‘crying.’ That’s a very lonely situation.”</p>
<p><strong>In what other ways would you know that he is there to comfort you?</strong></p>
<p>•	“He lets me know that my emotions are valid and that it’s OK for me to feel the way I do.”<br />
•	“Sometimes I just don’t want to talk about why I’m sad &#8211; the important thing is that he always asks why.”<br />
•	“If he makes me cry, he is sure to stop himself and comfort me. He always regrets his conduct and tries to work things out in a different way.”<br />
•	“He knows that sexual passion is not enough – sometimes I need some simple compassion.”</p>
<p><strong>I simply need to feel safe when I&#8217;m down!</strong></p>
<p>NOW that you deeply acknowledge this need to feel safe to express pain and sadness, and to be comforted by him …how are you going to find the safe space where to be able to express your emotions ? How are you going to ask for empathy and respect for your feelings, whatever they can be? And how are you going to feel supported and comforted when life delivers one of these blows that makes you (and everybody else) need a good cry to feel better?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I feel that he is<br />
<strong>“Sabotaging My Projects,</strong>” the dream I’m yearning for is… unconditional support.</p>
<p>Some of the responses, 75% of them expressed dreams so:</p>
<p>1. “I need to know that I have a partner who cares! When you truly love someone, you want what’s best for them; you want to see them spread their wings and try to fly. Helping them with the things that matter to them is never a burden. Most importantly, loving someone means you wouldn’t dream of sabotaging their projects; their dreams. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what my husband has done, and almost all of my projects have been ruined by him.”</p>
<p>2. “More than anything, I desire the freedom and confidence to take on even the hardest projects. Instead of criticizing me or telling me I can’t do it, he should be cheering me on, letting me know that he’s proud of me. I know that I am strong enough to succeed without his help… But success would be so much more gratifying if I knew that he had been there to encourage me through my struggles.”</p>
<p>3. “I want to know that we don’t have to compete against one another and argue about whose project or needs are more ‘important’. I wish we could slow down, lean on each other more, and simply enjoy our time together. Who knows, maybe we would even get excited about each other’s important projects!”</p>
<p><strong>In what other ways would you know that he supports you?</strong></p>
<p>• “I know I can count on his support when I need it, no matter what it is I require.”</p>
<p>• “My husband cares enough to do something simply because he knows it’s important to me.”</p>
<p>•  “He is with me every step of the way, but he also respects my space and gives me time to develop my projects.”</p>
<p>• “It is a back and forth conversation: I give him my full support, and he returns the gesture.”</p>
<p>• “He takes a real, genuine interest in the things I want to do.”</p>
<p><strong>I simply need to feel respected.</strong></p>
<p>NOW that you deeply acknowledge this need to be respected, included and supported in your life struggles by the person most near you…how are you going to find the warm support you need to face everyday’s life challenges? How are you going to challenge his way of denying support to your projects, and request from him the reciprocal support that is the core of any marriage? And how are you going to repair the damage caused by his negativity and lack of support that forces you to give your battles always alone and with an extra handicap of fearing him stabbing you in the back? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I feel that he is “<strong>Isolating Me from My Family</strong>,” the dream I’m yearning for is… integration.</p>
<p>Responses expressed dreams consistent with these:</p>
<p>1. “I want my family to be a part of our life together. They aren’t, and I know it’s because he doesn’t want them to know that he behaves like a child the majority of the time. However, he won’t admit that this is the reason, or address the problem. In fact, he doesn’t give me any reason at all. My family just isn’t allowed to be included.”</p>
<p>2. “I would like to feel free to have my parents and brothers, nephew and niece over to my house at any time. I can’t do that, because he doesn’t want to spend time with them, and he doesn’t see that they’re important or that time with them is important. It isn’t enough for him that they’re special to me.”</p>
<p>3. “My dream is that he would see that our whole family, whether it’s his, mine, or ours, all are connected, and that their relationship should be fostered. If the relationship with his family is bad, I want him to work on it, not ignore them and think that I have to do the same with my family.”</p>
<p>In what other ways would you know that he accepts and supports your family?</p>
<p>•	“We surround ourselves with family whom we love and who loves us back.”</p>
<p>•	“He is always cordial to my family and helps my relationship with them blossom.”</p>
<p>•	“He never manipulates me or makes me look bad in front of my family.”</p>
<p>•	“He genuinely loves my family, and opens his heart to every member.”</p>
<p><strong>I simply need to have a happy family around.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I feel that he is  “<strong>Playing Mind Games with Me</strong>,” the dream I’m yearning for is… trust in him.</p>
<p>Here we had some 85% of responses expressing the following dreams:</p>
<p>1. “Sometimes I feel like it’s a lost cause to think we can ever communicate openly about why he needs to play these games, why he hides his thoughts and actions. Maybe it isn’t hopeless to dream of clarity, but right now it seems like it.”</p>
<p>2. “I want to be an integral part of his life and worthy of so much more than games. I do not like playing mind games and think this is the worst aspect of my PA husband. I do not want to have to play games to get what I want; I prefer to be forthcoming, and want that in return.” </p>
<p>3. “I would like to have consistency, to trust that a yes is a yes and a no is a no. Being with a man who changes his mind all the time makes me feel insecure, like I can’t trust him. I never know where I stand, and I leave the argument feeling like nothing has been resolved. It makes me feel heavy.”</p>
<p><strong>In what other ways would you know that you can trust him?</strong></p>
<p>•	“My well-being is more important to him than keeping up appearances of perfection.”</p>
<p>•	“We never waste life’s precious moments; we focus most on loving each other.”</p>
<p>•	“I can think clearly when I’m with him, and I have faith in myself and my perceptions.”</p>
<p>•	“Reverse psychology does not occur when we are working things out.”</p>
<p>•	“He would never insult my intelligence by being dishonest or trying to manipulate me.”</p>
<p>•	“He is above cheating me or stifling me; he thrives on bringing out the best of me.”</p>
<p>•	“Our relationship doesn’t feel faked. It’s a real, secure connection.”</p>
<p>•	“Sometimes, if the situation is complicated, we set down a time limit and a goal.”</p>
<p><strong>I simply need security.</strong></p>
<p>NOW that you deeply acknowledge this need for a secure bond, where you can trust your own perceptions as connected to the shared reality, how are you going to send the message that you want to get rid of manipulation and deceit? How important is this need and how are you going to prevent the lack of trust that is so damaging to your self-esteem?  How are you going to respect your own need for transparency and truth? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I experience  “<strong>Long Silences for No Reason</strong>,” the dream I’m yearning for is… connection.</p>
<p>We have here some 89% of the responses expressed dreams about:</p>
<p>1. “I would like to feel that he is silent because everything is right between us, and there’s no need to fill up space with words. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. Nothing is right.”</p>
<p>2. “I want an open and honest relationship. Instead, he sits around sulking, making me guess why he is feeling the way that he is. He should care enough to help make the relationship better, not degrade it.”</p>
<p>3. “After I express my feelings, I want to be shown respect and an urgency to resolve problems. Not be given the silent treatment, where he watches television, works, and does everything but talk to me. Those long silences make me feel like I’m married to a five year old.”</p>
<p>In what other ways would you know that the two of you share a connection?</p>
<p>•	“If he can’t talk about it right now, he lets me know when he can get back to me.”</p>
<p>•	“He never shuts down just because he doesn’t want to deal with the problem. He knows that would make me feel like I did something wrong.”</p>
<p>•	“He doesn’t just sit there and think about things, he shares them as he’s thinking them.”</p>
<p>•	“I don’t need a magic wand to make him talk to me, it just comes easily.”</p>
<p>•	“Our behaviors mesh together well most of the time – when they don’t, we work it out.”</p>
<p>•	“We work together even when the issues are difficult so that we maintain a productive relationship.”</p>
<p>•	“No one suffers in silence alone. We openly share our deepest emotions and fears with each other.”</p>
<p>•	“He appreciates my conversation and my company, no matter how simple it may be sometimes.”</p>
<p><strong>I simply need to feel included.</strong></p>
<p>NOW that you deeply acknowledge this need to feel included, to have open communication based on reciprocal trust, and to be able to share and receive personal confidences from your husband, how are you going to send him the message that it is OK to talk about everything? How are you going to stand up and express your need to have a sensible and kind response from him? </p>
<p>Perhaps letting him know that sulking is not a mature response, using assertive language? Are you going to invite yourself to practice assertive phrases beginning with &#8220;I&#8221;, and following with a description of his behavior, and then closing with a description of the consequences?</p>
<p><em>&#8220;When you remain silent after I told you what worries me, I feel (abandoned) (rejected) (isolated?) and I have to accept that my worries are meaningless to you, so I my conclusion is that I should keep them to myself. Let me know if this is true, so I can take other choices.&#8221;</em></p>

<p>Some 84 % of the responses expressed dreams consistent with:</p>
<p>1. “I would like to feel that he is there to prevent injustice, not perpetuate it.  It is a double standard, because he would never stand for any form of humiliation from me, and I would pay dearly for such a vicious act.”</p>
<p>2. “A long time ago, I criticized him in public, and he responded viciously in front of my friends. I could never forget that, but now he has a need to appear perfect and wants people to believe we have a perfect relationship, void of any disputes or problems. Most of the time, he has convinced even himself that this is indeed reality. So he treats me better than before&#8230;I dream that this behavior is for ever.&#8221;</p>
<p>3. &#8220;Just as he does not want his previous mistakes, foibles or insecurities tossed about for any one and every one to know, I would also prefer that mine are not available for public ridicule.”</p>
<p><strong>In what other ways would you know that he is respecting you in public?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;He is sensitive to my feelings and others’ (the observers) feelings as well.&#8221;</li>
<li>“He delights in me and my personality, and does not ridicule me, even in my weakest moments.”</li>
<li>“I can walk away from something embarassing and he lets me keep my pride.”</li>
<li>“He praises me in public and acts as if he is honored to be with me.”</li>
<li>“We use the golden rule and treat each other the way we want to be treated.”</li>
<li>&#8220;His attitude shows that I&#8217;m protected and honored.</li>
<li>&#8220;He shows that I&#8217;m sincerely loved and respected; so I&#8217;m happy and relaxed in public.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;I receive fairness and equality from the most important person in my life: him&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p>Now that we know what the dream is composed of, how could you get it?  By having a clear picture of what is the dream situation, you are doing a giant step ahead. Now that you know that respect and equality is what you wish for, how can you plan to obtain more of it?</p>

We hear this question all the time, here and there. Well intentioned wives ask this question out of their loving hearts, still assuming that this kind of change is possible. They need any bit of hope they can get so much! Let&#8217;s try an answer here:</p>
<p>First, he needs to want to change, but really, he doesn’t want to drop this behavior at all. It&#8217;s his favorite defense against the world and demanding intruders like women in their lives&#8230; </p>
<p>If there is some behavior we really know, because is too frequent,  is that functioning using passive aggression is not a choice; some people have learned from very early that is safer to play dead and be noncommittal in any personal relationship. Probably, they have been hurt before, so now they don&#8217;t risk opening up.</p>
<p>For them this behavior is functional behavior, allowing them to imagine that in this way they are protected from probable harm coming from other people.</p>
<p>Besides, going down to the dynamics of any couple, a passive aggressive husband is very cozy with you functioning as his complement and covering up the difference between what he promises and what he delivers…</p>
<p>So, is there no hope? What can you do? Well, you can change your own responses, and thus force him to adapt to the new situation created by your new behavior….And then, voila! You have change!</p>
<p>Do you want an example?</p>
<p>Usually, you go around him tiptoeing and walking on eggshells up until he gives a superficial consent to some project. Even then, you are not sure he will deliver…if you use your own old behavior, then you will be there waiting for him to deliver.</p>
<p>The new behavior is telling him that you expect him to deliver, but just in case he can’t, for some reason, you have plan B lined up.</p>
<p>When he produces finally his answer, (as you have moved on pursuing this project without being stuck waiting for his delayed response) you can either adopt his solution so discarding your Plan B, or if your own solution is still better, use your own solution and move ahead. No regrets, no guilt, no procrastination!</p>
<p>This behavior takes away his power of controlling you through postponement and confusion, thus inviting him to come up with some new behavior to answer your actions.  Here you have moved him to change, right?</p>
<p>What if you still feel that you have no power whatsoever to implement this approach? Or you feel that you can&#8217;t do anything that could frustrate him? Well, you need more than this article; you need to read <a href="http://www.passiveaggressivehusband.com/pa_husband/">&#8220;Passive Aggressive Husband,&#8221;</a> and get all the support you can muster in order to push yourself to grow!  </p>
<p>BECAUSE if you don’t reach out and get some strong help, your marital situation will only get worst, you will lose your time and your energy doing the same thing that doesn’t help you now (&#8220;bear and grin,&#8221; perhaps?) and your promised change is not coming by itself. </p>
<p><strong>IN SHORT:</strong> </p>
<p>No, he will not spontaneously change; you need to change your behavior towards him; if you can&#8217;t do it alone, please, get help reading our postings, our ebooks and <a href="http://passiveaggressivehusband.com/asknora/">posting here your questions</a> to get some realistic, easy to apply suggestions to recover yourself. Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the poster wrote this suggestion in our site:<br />
<em>&#8220;How do you deal with a husband that keeps a secret journal and never tells me he is unhappy about anything?&#8221;</em> This reader is hitting at the heart of the passive aggression problem.</p>
<p>We need to remember first that this kind of behavior<br />
a) is not caused by or originated with the present marriage;<br />
b) has deep roots in his childhood and family of origin<br />
c) is connected with some kind of long forgotten trauma, still active inside him.</p>
<p>This short description is necessary because there can be so many misconceptions obscuring the understanding of his present behavior. She is not guilty of his present passive aggression, because he has been functioning in this way to protect himself from life&#8217;s hazards and tribulations for a very long time.</p>
<p>So, why the need for secrecy? If the original trauma and all the feelings included has to do with his parents, or a parent substitute as uncles, godfathers, or ministers, it could never be opened up. The victim, in this case your husband, had to keep everything inside as a way of colluding with his parents who decided that the situation was normal enough not to merit a comment or a defensive reaction. If the child was abused, emotionally oppressed or humiliated in some way, this was never talked about, because the loyalty to parental figures was stronger. Then and there, secrecy was the main line of defense: don&#8217;t say a word about what hurts you. Tragically, this &#8220;defense&#8221; ends up exterminating all humanity in relationships, because then the humiliated child has nobody to defend his integrity, and every one of the adults is a accomplice of the hurt.</p>
<p>The last thing a PA person will do is to complain about his own past or present unhappiness. He is still a five years old child inside, convinced that there is no justice in this world, that talking will get him punished and still will get no justice, and that opening up could end up in more ridicule, punishment or humiliation. No, he can&#8217;t say a word&#8230;.which doesn&#8217;t mean that he is not hurt, resentful and dreaming of revenge!</p>
<p>This secrecy pact is what makes it so difficult to live with him&#8230;produces the impression that he is still more loyal to the people that then and there damaged him, than to his present situation and loving companion. Secrecy will make also impossible to provide him with the satisfaction and nurturing his own needs demand, and will generate resentment on both sides: on her side because she is willing to give love that he finds impossible to accept and from his side because whatever he can receive is not answering his deep needs for love and security coming from his past starvation.</p>
<p>Secrecy also gives him the illusion of conserving his own power; if nobody knows what hurts him, he can deny that some hurt exists in his heart forever. &#8220;Me keeping a grudge against my parents? Why would I do such a thing?&#8221;</p>
<p>Denial is a wall that blocks connection in marriage. It signals a whole part of his soul is not included in the marriage bargain. Allows withdrawal and isolation, and predicts more isolation, but the illusion of power and control.</p>
<p>So, what can you do? First, accept that this is his reality; no amount of coaching or preaching will make him leave this cave when he feels the need to be protected there. Perhaps allowing him to keep his secrets, giving him permission to withdraw in his cave and sulk there, is the only way of giving him what he needs. And feeling that he has not to fight for his right to some privacy, so he can feel secure enough of being respected as he is, could invite him to leave his cave more often. </p>
<p>SIGH?  nobody said that this kind of marriage was going to be easy, right? What about your karma could be now putting you in this pickle?</p>
