Passive-aggressive communication is a way of expressing negative feelings indirectly rather than openly addressing them. Martha's dad is likely demonstrating this behavior in several ways, such as:
1. **Sarcastic Remarks**: He might make sarcastic comments instead of directly stating his displeasure or frustration.
2. **Silent Treatment**: He could give Martha or others the silent treatment when upset instead of discussing his feelings.
3. **Backhanded Compliments**: He may give compliments that are actually veiled criticisms, making it seem like he's being nice while still expressing dissatisfaction.
4. **Procrastination or Delaying Tasks**: If asked to do something he doesn't want to do, he might agree but then intentionally delay completing it, expressing his resistance indirectly.
5. **Complaining Subtly**: Instead of voicing discontent openly, he might express complaints in a roundabout way, making it seem like a side comment rather than a direct confrontation.
These behaviors indicate dissatisfaction or resentment without engaging in direct communication, which is characteristic of passive-aggressive communication methods.
