someone has PAPD if he displayed five or more of the following behaviors:
(1) procrastinates,
(2) sulks or argues when asked to do something he doesn't want to do,
(3) works inefficiently on unwanted tasks, (4) complains without justification of unreasonable demands,
(5) "forgets" obligations,
(6) believes he is doing a much better job than others think,
(7) resents useful suggestions,
(8) fails to do his share, or
(9) unreasonably criticizes authority figures.
Have heard alot about this on mn, but have passed over it without really understanding what it meant. Must have conveniently passed over it during my counselling training many years ago, and just googled idly on a rainy afternoon as an alternative to doing housework.
Is there a prescribed way to counteract this type of behaviour as a partner, or do we simply have to put up or shut up?
