Bicker Baiting

An almost theatrical form of relational sabotage, Bicker Baiting is the cunning yet questionable practice of strategically deploying words or actions, either consciously or subconsciously, to ensnare someone into an argument. This technique often emerges following a misleading stretch of harmony. It represents the paradoxical pursuit of conflict after periods of calm, embodying a twisted longing for the familiar dissonance of everyday squabbles rather than the alien stillness of harmony.
Was a peaceful Sunday until my partner hit me with a bicker baiting bombshell, asking why I still follow my ex on social media. Went from zero to a hundred real quick over a 'like' from 2017.
