Chat GPT partially agrees with you:
Question: "what drives passive-aggressive behavior?
Short answer: unexpressed anger mixed with fear."
So besides being fearful @TOP is angry about something. I'm thinking it's about @Hawkeye10 forgetting their safe word.
Here's the entire GPT answer:

The anger comes from disappointment at life, IMO. Hence the desperation to make up the fantasy life she concocted with a husband, large expensive home, vacays, golfing every day, kids plural, etc. The anger comes from having that fantasy revealed to be a crock, And from fierce jealousy/envy of those who actually do have a happy life, love, family, achievement, joy. Grievance is what makes a MAGAT a MAGAT, and the prey of conmen like Trump. It's far easier to blame others for their disappointment and envy than it is to do something about it.
