How to help my passive aggressive boyfriend?

I read an article online about passive aggressiveness that describes my boyfriend perfectly. Our fights become mind-boggling because he doesn't tell me when something is wrong he just ignores me.



How can I help him? I'm afraid if I tell him he's passive aggressive he will get defensive and possibly not talk to me because of course he won't want to admit something is wrong with him.How to help my passive aggressive boyfriend?
You have to stop letting him get away with it. You don't have to come out and label him, but you can tell him when his behavior is getting ridiculous. Have a serious talk, sometime when you two are HAPPY and not fighting, about the times you do argue. Tell him that you know it's hard for him to tell you when he's upset, but if your relationship is going to work, you both need to be free to tell one another.



Tell him that you are not going to accept it any more when something is bothering him, and that he needs to tell you when he's upset so the two of you can work on it together. And then hold to that. When you think he has a problem that he's not telling you, confront him about it, but nicely - tell him that you're getting that vibe, and you want to talk about it now before it gets worse and you have a real fight.
