Does anyone have a positive story about having a passive aggressive husband?

After much research, we have discovered that my husband is in fact a passive aggressive. I have been doing as much reading as I can online on the subject and ordered some books but as of yet I haven't managed to find an outcome that is positive.

My husband admits that he is a passive aggressive, which I understand to be the worst bit. He has agreed to go to counselling. I have told him that so long as he is wholeheartedly commited to counselling and sorting out the problem then I will completelt support him. Anything less than this and I will not stick around.

I so want it to work though as we have 2 gorgeous boys and I want to avoid splitting up our family, but I am yet to find a case that has resulted in the husband and wife staying together.

Thanks in advance - this is a really scary time for me and I don't really have anyone to talk to in real life abojt it. I'm also pretty embarrassed.

Hi Lucy, it's best if you start a new thread. So where it says topics->>relationships, underneath there is a 'start a new thread' option. Click that and you can get a new thread that will appear on the main board. Your message won't be noticed by many people if it's on the end of this thread.

Mine is exactly the same and I am struggling to find good outcomes too - did you work yours out? I want to stay with him, but it is exactly as yours, just insidious and hurtful and without any form of physical affection for 15 years, I at least know why now which is good. Is it changeable?

Can I ask, why do you want to stay with him
