Passive aggression
Passive aggression is just a way of inflicting pain on your partner, without having to admit you are doing it, or tell him why you’re doing it. You get to hurt your partner, without giving him a tangible thing to call out. For example, when you make yourself a plate of food but don’t make him one, he can’t really call you out for it, because you didn’t do something bad—you just didn’t do something nice.
