Remember Mindfulness – close eyes briefly

Respect

Passive-aggressive behaviour is often seen in relationships because it’s designed to make the recipient feel punished, without dangerous confrontation. If you say to your partner: I bet I know where you want to be tonight, (not with me!), you are avoiding an honest discussion. The way to respond is to feed back to the passive aggressive person your interpretation of their words: I think
you’re worried that I’m not going to spend time with you tonight – why is that? Passive-aggressive behaviour should always be challenged as part of our new way of doing things in recovery. It is hard to enjoy a contented and meaningful sobriety if you are still basically a doormat. Am I prepared to assert my right to receive respect from others?

If you want others to be happy, practise compassion.
If you want to be happy, practise compassion.
The Dalai Lama.
Some relationships turn into a ritual over time. The participants know their roles and the expected outcome and are often accepting if not happy with the situation however negative that may be. I must break the pattern if I wish to grow spiritually. I ask today for courage to change the things I can.
