He’s Passive-Aggressive as a Last Resort

One consistent pattern for a Libra man, whether a Libra man as friend, partner or Libra man as husband, is his passive-aggressive side. Libras are known to stoop to this level if they don’t see any other way to deal with their feelings.

He won’t want to hurt your feelings even if he is angry. Since he is offended and hurt by other people’s anger and intense feelings, he will also assume that you have difficulty handling others’ anger.

He feels like anger is toxic and should be minimized or avoided. Yet he doesn’t often consider just how toxic passive-aggressive behavior can be as well. He thinks hiding his feelings is the best option but doesn’t realize how tension boils over.

When it’s too late and he can’t stifle himself anymore, he will feel compelled to make snide remarks or act resentful. He may make comments that lead you to question whether he’s really just kidding. He’ll criticize or express anger but then back pedal.

When things get to this level, he senses that his anger is getting out of hand. He secretly wishes he could completely diffuse his feelings because he knows his passive-aggressive actions or comments are not productive.

In this phase, he doesn’t know how to contain himself. He will try to be extra polite because he knows he’s made some rude or snide remarks. Yet this only further fuels the tension he’s feeling.

He’ll Shut Down Completely

When a Libra man doesn’t feel like any of his strategies have worked, he may start to completely shut down. Unlike going quiet for a few days or becoming quiet during a conversation, he’ll back away altogether.

When he stops putting any effort into the relationship, it’s not a good sign. This means he no longer sees a way to get past his anger. He is distancing himself from you because by now he associates you with his angry feelings.

When a Libra man doesn’t trust you to work things out with him, or when he doesn’t feel heard and understood, he will shut down. Unfortunately, sometimes he brings this on himself by making it difficult for you to understand him.

His discomfort with being assertive can contribute to this. Many of his issues could be resolved if he would be open and direct. Yet he intentionally skews the barometer so that you don’t truly understand how upset he is.
