Passive-aggressive personality structures, known as PAPS in psychology, can put a strain on relationships. Those affected tend to conceal their wishes and express their aggression indirectly - this often indicates an underlying tension in the relationship.

Let me tell you a story. Jakob is in love with Viktoria. He is fascinated by her charm, her striking face, her sexy body and her knowledge. But he doesn't know his way around her. How can he explain why Viktoria suddenly doesn't feel like having sex, even in situations where everything is just right? Everything was perfect the other day too.
