How can I stop a wife from nagging.?

Question

Is it possible to stop a wife nagging without beating or leaving her?

Oh! and why is there a women's studies section and not a Man's Studies section?

Answer 1

You should threaten to leave her and tell her you cant cope with it any more and then she might realise how much it is upsetting you. I am always nagging my boyfriend, but I have realised it was because of the fact that my Mum was very critical towards me and now I have begun to be like that towards others. Finding out why she is so uptight might help her become a little more laid back, but if she is making you really miserable then you might have to leave her. You could also try nagging her all the time to give her a taste of her own medicine, or coming up with a deal where she isnt alllowed to nag for a week. Then when she forgets and you keep reminding her, she may realise how often she does it. On the other hand maybe your behaviour is making her really unhappy and stressed in which case you also have to try and change a bit to stop her from nagging. Either way good luck, you will probably need it

Also it is womens studies because women are an oppressed group. Every subject is Mans studies because male academcis and authors dominate every subject so it is important to have a subject to counter balance and address this

Answer 2

First of all, tell your wife that her nagging is really bothering you, and don't give in to her whims. Or, tell her you intend to put some good duct tape on her mouth, if she doesn't shut up. Secondly, there are not any mens studies section because men don't seem to need help, the way some women do. Hey! And, don't try to beat your wife because she could get some very good alimony, and the fact she could send you off for a hefty jail sentence. Some people are just naggers, so either stand up to her or leave her.

Answer 3

Do something nice for her or help her with something without having to be asked to do it. Tell her you are trying to please her and to let up on it. Abuse of any kind is not the answer, nor is leaving. Leave if you can not work things out and nagging can be overcome.
If she complains about something you actually tried to do well or help with, then just stop, listen and look confused at her. Don't say a word and she may realize that you are hurt and she may get the point that at least you are trying. I have no idea what she is nagging about, so those are my general suggestions.

Answer 4

i would suggest taking her out away from your usual environment a nice meal or weekend any thing that shows you have put some effort in. women tend to nag when they feel neglected, ignored or patronised.the best way to block nagging is to actually listen to waht she is going on about and either agree or not agree to what she is saying. a lot of men tend to think if they ignore a women that it will stop No its usually the reason you are being nagged in the first palce . Show some respect treat her nice oh and direct her nagging energy into love(sex may follow women tend to nag when they need some affection and attention)just listen man and then respond positively.

Answer 5

Women's studies are more popular due to the whole woman's rights movement. As for your other question. Tell your wife how you feel about her nagging come to a compromise and maybe you could reward her in your own way for the times she doesn't nag.

Answer 6

In medieval England it was the practise to either have her fitted with an iron instrument that forced her tongue down or to have her put in the ducking chair. You could try not talking yourself for the duration of her nagging, this will drive her mad and make her realise how much she is hurting your ears. Women are experts at this kind of manipulatory ploy (it's called the silent treatment") if it works on us it might just work on them.

Regarding the women's study section question, I asked that one recently.

Answer 7

Design and build a ducking stool like they had in Europe's middle ages. A scold's bridle that fits over the head with a metal piece that prevents the tongue from moving is another alternative. However, the ultimate solution would be to burn her as a witch.

Women's Studies? Because throughout the history of patriarchal domination women have been unrepresented. In this white middle class male dominated society they have been undervalued and continue to be dismissed as having any serious contribution to it. Women's Studies go someway to balance this and bring greater recognition of their abilities and their role in society. It helps unravel some of the reasons behind misogyny and the patriarchal need to victimise women, through rape, murder and even burning thousands of them at the stake.

Answer 8

People with well developed self-confidence and people skills generally don't nag, as they have more effective methods. But some lack in these areas may be part and parcel of someone that you like for other reasons. Talk about how to achieve some behaviour modification, maybe on both sides, so you comply with requests that you are willing to comply with without them having to be repeated, and your wife doesn't keep repeating requests for something you aren't going to do.

Answer 9

Well, it won't help to beat or kill her as if you keep doing the same things that drive women nuts, the next girl/wife will nag you too. Women respond real well to kindness. When my husband is especially nice to me, it is harder for me to pick on him. And when I'm nice to him, he then feels motivated to change some of his ways and do what needs to be done. Give it a try.

Answer 10

Well if you 'men' dont annoy us, then she wouldnt be nagging you in the first place so maybe you should take a note of what you are doing wrong before you blame the wife cuz it could be you in the wrong. Im just saying.
