Avoidance type passive aggressive:) It's the aggressive part that gets so ugly:( Sorry
I usualy ignore or avoid it and do things my own damn self or let it all build up
Face it head on
For the most part I avoid. I have moments where when I do face it, I am upset and mad. I wish I was more consistent.
Both.
I avoid conflict unless/until it becomes something that needs to be discussed or handled, but even then I dislike intensely stepping voluntarily into conflict.
Face it.
I say face it head on. Anytime I've been frustrated or upset with anything I usually approach him right away because I know it's nothing and I'm thinking too hard. Then I feel like an idiot and apologize... He's great.
Hahaha I'd do the same 😁

I'm horrible with confrontation. I avoid it at all costs, and that is probably not always a good thing because I let things that bother me pile up and sit on my chest.
again we've been married 30 years and somewhere around year 20, we completely changed roles. he used to avoid conflict like crazy and I would always want to address things and work them out. now i'm the one who cannot stand conflict or even want to talk or deal with the problem he's the one that tries to help us talk about it.
I try to avoid it. No matter how "right" or " wrong" I may be, I find that the people closest to me have this awesome way of making it my fault no matter how it makes me feel.
Face it head
This is a good thing baby the only way things get resolved even if either of us get mad at each other in the end our love grows stronger

Avoid it.
in earlier years he avoided conflict but I demanded to talk everything out. but in the past five years with everything that's happened in our family I am so exhausted I can't stand having even a small conflict so we both avoid conflict now.
I tend to avoid it until my mental health starts to suffer and have way to many emotions bottled up. When in reality if I would of dealt with it in the first place it would be done and over.
