This dosn't completely relate to op, but thought I would mention it even tho I'm not into the dom/sub thing.
I'v been accused of being passive agressive by my last serious gf. I'm not passive agro at all tho. We would have a disagreement, there would be no resilution in site with boath of us taking our stances and making no ground argueing/discussing the original problem. I'd get tired of it and wouldn't feel like talking. Then she would talk just to try to get me to deal with her. I mean not actualy trying to have a discussion to exchange ideas, just yaping in an atempt to make me respond...no content if that makes sence? Not anything like a normal conversation.
I guess what I'm trying to convey is if she would have just left me alone for a bit and gone back to "normal" everything would have quickly resolved itself. But instead she spent time pestering me and then acts like I'm the ass for not wanting to sit and talk like we are two strangers in an elivator. I wasn't attempting to punish her. Sometimes, atleast for me, I'm just not up to small talk. And it was her own post argument needieness that made her see it as me punishing her, even tho I was just being normal.
Anyway, like I said, not nessisaraly relivent.
