When your man is working on something,why must you stand right there next to him, saying things such as "You should just take it in",..and just keep saying it over and over..Then when whatever it is we are working on, (in this case a dryer for about 3 hours), when we completly screw it up, do you really think we need to hear the words,..I TOLD YOU,YOU SHOULD OF JUST TOOK IT IN!! .. I think i speak on behalf of all mankind when i say,WHEN WE ARE WORKING ON SOMETHING, GO AWAYYY,..IF WE SCREW IT UP WE BUY YOU A NEW ONE!!

Nope. Nagging is not my style. Luckily he's pretty good at this handy man stuff. Besides there are better things to do with my time than sit around and watch him fix stuff. So I just let the man do his thing....And the only way I can actually distract him from his work project would be to walk in the room with no clothes on...

Sometimes I just like to observe my husband working on something that I don't know how to do - not that I want to learn it's just something different - I don't do it as much as I used to now that I am learning the HUGE difference between men and women I've learned that men have a need to figure things out and they can't really concentrate on figuring it out immediately (i.e. - when they feel as if they are being micromanaged or expected to answer a complex question right after it is asked) and also it makes them feel like crap when they try to find a solution to a problem and fail to. Message to the ladies - lighten up and recognize when your dude needs some space (key times - when he's angry at you/when you're angry with him/when you've asked him a very serious question/when he's trying to fix or figure something out) and he definitely doesn't need any comments from the peanut gallery if you refuse to leave him alone while he's trying to figure it out

Sorry, guy, women are just that way. The sooner you learn to say "I really though maybe I could make it work, sorry I wasted my time trying" the sooner she will drop the subject. I know myself I have appreciated the time when my husband tried to fix something and save a buck, but maybe saving a buck isn't necessary at your house. Anyway, one day she will get bored standing over you "nagging" when her life gets busy with children and her own interests. Until then, just bite your tongue and smile. Later you can go outside and scream when no one is around. Remember, whatever you say back will be remembered. Words can't be taken back, is it worth it.

In my family is different, it is always my partner that does that to me. The only difference is that I don't screw up on any, so he had to deal with me "I told you so."
Now that I am reading this, I am going to get my partner to start doing more things around the house. He has been giving me a hard time because I own the house. Come to think of it, he is basically pissing me off.

she wouldn't be saying this unless it is a scenario that has happened before, maybe several times. i can tell you want to be a good guy and do these repairs, but maybe you are being stubborn and not admitting your limitations, and she just wants to take the quickest and easiest route to a solution. it's common in men and women. but women only are said to be nags when they repeat things that someone else stubbornly refuses to hear. i could be wrong here, but think about it.

I dread when my husband starts any type of home product .. not so much of him screwing up as it is, that he screams at the object, then tends to abuse it by kicking it..in a last ditch effort of thinking that may fix it.. lol.. then eventually gets so fed up, i end up with half done projects all over my house.. lol..

Sometimes we don't want a new one!!! So leave it to the pros!!!
My husband is the exact same way and it drives me crazy!!
Except I'm usually gone when he attempts his little projects....Can we say Tim Allen from Home Improvement!

I am ashamed to admit it but I am like that also. But when I do go away he always calls me back to ask my opinion on something. You are so right tho. We women should be more considerate.

HERE, HERE!!! I agree. Go away when we're doing something. But with me, I just do something that makes it look like I'm going to...I don't know...hack of my fingers. Then my girl can't stay around to watch me "do something stupid". She still comes back for the "I told you so"s though.

Only the woman with you should hear that....that is a lack of communication...what wouldn't you tell her??Just say it! and things will be better then....if she doesn't understand that..we have a problem..she's deaf!.....it's all about speaking your mind and try to listen to others as well........try it!
