In all seriousness, every time I hear other men complaining about, how thier 'wive's nag' them to almost death.

I can understand why they are complaining! As after two relationships (approx 10yrs with each) I have been nagged over trivial matter's too.

I would get home after a hard days work to
"did you do BLAH!"
(an erand at lunch)
& before she's even taken onboard a breath of fresh air, the last six months come up???
So they'd proceed to carry on all night (NAG!) about one shi.tty mistake over because I could'nt get there,
or picking on me,
My first wife started sticking ciggy butts in my beer because she felt I had enough already!

Look I could really make a meal of this, but I do not wish to offend any ladies,
so 'PLEASE' tell me/us WHY?

Why do you nag nag nag nag nag nag,?

I recently got engaged & already she's telling me what I can & cannot do,
My feet are coolin right down (cold feet)
I'm over it,
BAN THE:
NAG NAG NAG!!

We don't all nag - some of us prefer the tried but true method of hinting - and when we want to get really dirty we try reverse psychology. Only those of us who are frustrated or haven't learnt a better way, finally resort to nagging.

Because men, don't show any sense of self sufficiency, are ignorant, don't pay attention to any other thing except their full bellies, and their beer. They expect to come home to a quiet home just because they've worked an 8 hour day. Well, big whoopin A**. Men need to wake and smell air and get it thru their thick heads that, women too, work 8 hour work days and also want to come home to a 50/50 distribution of house work!

We nag about the past because men cannot learn from their own mistakes unless we drill it and penetrate it til it hurts your minds! This is why women bring up the past....solely because that of the other sex know no responsiblility to avoid future mistakes.

If you've gone through several marriages, maybe you should consider what is wrong with youself rather than what is wrong with women. It is the obvious that the problem lies in you and that is why it hasn't worked out in all of the above cases. I give you the benefit of the doubt and assume your luck isn't that bad to have stumbled upon such "outraged" women in your history of relationships.

Women check back on those "afternoon, lunch time errands" to make sure men get it done because a lot of them are known to neglect the obligation to fulfill it.

That, i give you my smart A** answer, as to why some of the reason why women nag.

I think some women just don't know how to choose their battles. There is a time to request something be done or not be done, but I personally think nagging is no way to go about getting something done. Well...unless you are just looking for a resentful partner. As far as your fiance telling you what you can and cannot do. That would chill my feet out as well. I have had my share of nagging from my ex, and I think that was all about control. He liked to have his finger on me every minute of the day and over every thing I did. Maybe the women in your life were like my ex.
Fortunately I have found the man of my dreams who I love to death. I'd much rather smother him with love, kisses, and appreciation for what he does rather than trivial matters. We have great communication and often ask ourselves what do we think we will fight about, because we really cannot picture it. I'm sure it will happen at some point. We kind of are just looking for the makeup sex.
I think more women are starting to wake up about the nagging thing though. I have seen many friends change their patterns. Keep hoping. :)

Speaking from personal experience, I nag my husband because his head is so far up his a$$ most of the time that he just doesn't hear me. And frankly speaking, when he does hear me and then does not follow through with a task I've asked him to help me with, it's really friggin' annoying. Like many women, I'm in the position of being responsible for maintaining the house, caring for the kids, taking care of the bills, and holding down a job. I need his assistance, and if he can't figure out what to do to help me out, then I do need to tell him. Loudly if necessary. And as many times as I have to in order to get things taken care of.

On the other hand, I do know how important it is to let the past go. Why should I waste time nagging him about mistakes he made six months ago when I can find plenty of current complaints to b*tch about?





Ok, that was only half-serious. Maybe you need to find a different type of woman, one who is able to forgive and forget, and believes in the motto "Don't sweat the small stuff."

Not all women nag. Plus istead of getting cold feet on you fiance how bout trying to make her feel better so that she wouldn't have to nag you about everything. I know i dont nag. If something is not done right ill just talk to him about it if the same thing happens again then he's gone. In a nice way. but we usually just resolve the problem.

Maybe men are nagged because they don't get it. If you are being nagged there is, in most cases some just cause.

Take a long look at your self. Maybe she can change if you can. Call a truce long enough to have a quiet talk about nagging and why..

yes girls will nag. sorry but we do. i just got out of a relationship where all i did was nag on him and i know y now... he drove me crazy!!!!! so we do give u guys little tasks to do that we think u can handle. small things like take out the trash, pick something up from the store, mail a letter, empty the dishwasher, and so on. we dont give u time consuming things cuz u get bored too easy. small simple things that take only minutes are good. but when u guys dont do them we get frusterated. it adds to the list of things that u think us "super humans with 8 arms" have to do. look at it this way... u come home from work and sit on the couch, right? we get home and the things that we asked u to do aren't done. we will nag. ur words are "baby, im tired i worked all day" so when its time for bed u get this burst of energy that just seems to come out of nowhere and u want sex. thats y we nag. u help around the house and we wont nag and u get all the sex u can handle!!! plain and simple. sorry for the essay but i made my point right?? good luck!!!

I try not to "nag" my husband. I decided I married him the way he is and it's not up to me to change him. I too get irritated when I am nagged so why would I want to nag someone else. I think so many people try to change their spouse. I really don't another reason, or maybe I do but it would take a book to write it all out. Insecurity, fear, loneliness, among others add to a woman's need to change and feel secure. ??? Hope this helps.

Not all women nag. I don't.....Actually I should rephrase that. I did nag my boyfriend about always missing the toilet when he went pee and then spitting in the toilet and not flushing it. That to me was just gross. You're not doing that are you???? lol....anyways, I stopped nagging him about it because I realized how trivial it really was. To answer your question. These women could be totally in the right to nag at you. Do you put effort into the relationship to make it good? Or maybe you're dating the wrong kind of women who are too controlling.

We nag because we love you, haha.. no really though. Women are the only creatures that will LASH out at the people closest to us. If you really think about it though, the reason we nag is because we can. And i don't mean that in a bi***y sort of way, we love you and we know you love us, so we nag!.. There's really no complete explanation for it.

But we really do love you guys... we're just B^t$%es.. haha
