What is the treatment for passive-aggressive behavior?
Patient: I think my boyfriend ins passive aggressive. He came after me the first day of school. after our first date he never called back, then he stopped comig to school, then he d show up. sometimes he d say hi, other times he wouldn t look me in the eyer when he spoke. Then I invited him back to my apartment. He didn t make love to me he didn t kiss me, I saw his face, he made as effort not to get into it. I m really attractive so I knew something wasn t right. He admitted to me that he wanted to tear me to pieces when he first saw me because he wanted me so badly. It s been up and down. He wants me but he plays these strange sulky games. I m confused. Also he has had 2 dui s and a felony for breaking in to beat up his sister s boryfriend. He is highly intelligent, a student as the Uof I. But unable to connect emotionaly. He has grandious ideas about becoming a politician and says that is why our relationship must be a secret. I m 14 years older than him. I know something is wrong with him but I ve never come across this type of behavior. Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much.  To know more about him is the only way to find what is troubling him. I rather say that as he intelligent (in your opinion) he is playing safe. You have the capacity to understand him. As he is an aspiring politician, as he says, he wants to keep himself away from affairs, which might trouble his future. That is a good opinion. At least he is focused towards his future. Things like flirting and having sex is not his concerns. he is much more matured than that. Understand him and adore him.If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.
