You do not know how to handle and react on a conflicting situation. If you are in a negative environment, your ability to decide can be affected.
Some situation does not improve because your parner tries to confuse and brainwash you. Over time, you will find yourself violent towards your partner as well, which was not part of your behavior before.

Intimacy and emotional compromise with any woman is what a passive aggressive person fears and not you. When conflict appears, you should know where you stand so you can decide what to do with your life.
