If I can pick out one place in the world I'd spend the next let's say five years, Austria. As said, I got what I wanted the last time, so this one is not up to me.

Why are women passive on things that bother them, slowly build up ammunition, then snap and wreck their significant other when they can't take it anymore?

Why just not fucking be passive in the first place?

Wow... there are a lot of possible answers here. I am going to assume you are in an emotional place right now and not share any of them.

We tend to not be as aggressive and prefer to avoid confrontation. Unfortunately, even if you think you're over it, it usually just builds up and one day, they snap. Sorry about your day!

No, nothing happened today, just a conversation I was having with a friend...maybe I just came off a bit strong haha.

Haven't talked to my ex in almost 6 weeks. Never plan on it either.

Men are aggressive without having a goal. You have things you feel passionately about a lot but it's always just a cloud of smoke.

We, and I too, have issues with stating our mind but it's not collecting ammo, it's more like waiting for you to pick up the clues and correcting your actions before we blow up.

A good example of this is from today.

I never shout to the hubby, but he does three things that drive me batshit insane daily.

He takes off his socks and leaves them in his sock corner the minute he walks in the house. Fine, he likes being bare footed, I get it!

Our cleaning lady comes in weekly, and at the day six, no kids socks can be found since our roombot shoves them under everything. Not kidding! 68 found socks today. JUST STOP FUCKING WEARING THEM AT ALL!

It's not like we are a new couple or anything, but when he complains he can't find socks for the kids, I go and cut his computer cords. It's so damn passive of me, but fuck I love it. Just fucking listen for fucking once you damn penis holder you!

(the extra aggression was provided by my laundry machine which is still washing the fucking socks)

Wait, six weeks isn't that long. So you gave in at some point. Tsk tsk, don't let it happen again!

Yeah, not going to lie. She kept calling me and I gave in about two weeks into the break up [broke up 2 months ago]. I'm past the "I want to get back together with her" phase, into the "there's no way in hell I'm getting back together with her, but I still think about/miss her from time to time" phase. Work in progress.

Meh... I am not the vagina whisperer, the real problem is actually simple. People talk past each other. As Biorin said, women (in general) tend to avoid confrontation. Men tend to view lack of open conflict as peace. The reality is very different. Men, in general, need to learn women's ways of communicating to be happier in relationships. And women, to be fair, need to understand that men will never bat 1000 on this. The same is true in reverse. For a woman to be happy in a relationship, she needs to learn what her dude is actually expressing - beyond what he is saying.

The best example I can think of was a joke??? I heard once.

I man will call his best friend an asshole.
A woman will smile at the biggest asshole like she's her best friend.
