I have begun telling B when I feel he is being passive aggressive. And he hates it. A lot! It happened yesterday afternoon-and when I pointed out the behavior and asked him what he truly meant by a statement, he reacted with anger and told me to stop it with the "passive agressive" statements. I told him that I was calling it like it was. He had asked me a question, I gave him my answer then I got a swarmy reply. He didn't like my answer even though he supposedly didn't have an opinion. Yup, he did have an opinion, he just wanted me to guess it and when I didn't guess right I was at fault. Not buying those goods anymore. I have grown. No arguement developed. Not allowing it. He has tried to start them. He starts and I just look at him with puzzlement. He realizes that it is not working any more. Hmmm-should have learned this years ago!!!! Where was my brain?

Somehow I am doing better. He may not be. I guess this scares him.
