How do you stop your partner from fighting mean? I was in a relationship with a passive aggressive man. We never fought, if he was mad at me he would take his anger out in a passive way. I am now with a man where if he feels I've hurt him, he tries to hurt me back by doing something that he knows will hurt me. How do I stop this? If it continues I feel our relationship will end because of it.

'Therapy' has a lot to answer for.

Sorry, but you're way off. My father was a very emotional man. He always spoke what he felt. The man I'm with now is very emotionally available. Probably more so than most guys. I wouldn't put so much weight on what this Dr. is saying. Your situation is totally different from mine. Watch yourself in playing psychologist, you might get burnt!

Welcome to the board gr1243,


Hmm, sounds like you've drawn in two men that have and are showing you exactly what you don't want in a relationship.

thanks for your input. I am well aware of how the mind works having a medical background. Was just looking for other people's opinion.
