What it really accomplishes IMO is pushing your hubby away. It does not bring him closer so just accept things you cannot change about him and relax. We will both be better off.

When the husband brings earns $300,000.00/yr and the wife stays at home with the maid, nagging has no place.

I am none of what you describe about your husbands. I am high energy and a clean freak yet she still nags.

This is very good advice. I myself was never one to nag. I did not want it done to me, and as you say it accomplishes nothing positive.

We nag because Men just don't listen in the first place. How many times do we have to lovingly remind them that:
dirty clothes belong in the hamper
wet towels do not belong on the floor
walking through the house with mud on the shoes is not acceptable
leaving dirty dishes around the house or on top of the dishwasher is just lazy
an overflowing garbage should be perhaps taken out without being told
not phoning when you've decided to have a few drinks with buddies even though supper is waiting and everyone is waiting
forgetting to pick up things that the wife requested on your way home (more than a few times)..........etc.
How many reminders do men need, are men just that dumb or do they deep down, really enjoy the nagging. Women for the most part, start off lovingly but we can only take so much and the constant reminders grates on our nerves.
My dog is smart enough to know that running through the house with dirty paws only gets negative attention ( at only two years old).
Men, get smarter.

The problem there is - what most men perceive as nagging - most women do not. My husband tells me every day how things need to be done around the house, and I try to get them done or arrange a time for them to be done by me or someone else - even if I've just worked a 16 hour day and he has been home from his 8 hour day for four and a half hours; but when I tell him that the garbage needs to go out, or the dishes need to be done, or that there is no reason to leave socks on the living room floor - that is considered nagging. Bullship! Maybe if men would listen to simple, good advice the first time, or do what is asked of them the first time, women wouldn't have to repeat themselves a thousand times, and then be tagged as "nags."

I have learned that nagging can be very annoying but on the other hand, sometimes some men need to be "reminded" constantly about stuff which can be referred to as "nagging". While other men only need to be asked once, some guys just need to be nagged...either way, it accomplishes what needs to be done, however a woman chooses to r"emind" her husband is up to her!

Sounds like you should be asking YOUR lady this question ... we usually nag because eventually ... you end up getting tired of hearing it and just do what we've asked you to do. Not sure exactly what you're being nagged about ... but if it's miniscule I'll nag ... til he does it. Like take out the trash for instance. I don't nag about things I know I can't change ... like the fact that he watches baseball ALL day some days ... I just have to accept that he loves baseball ...

Well, that is a great theory but what are we supposed to do when the men don't pick up after themselves, take the trash out, mow the lawn, etc... Just suck it up and do it ourselves? Hell no......
I am no fan of nagging but I think there is a difference between random nagging and actually trying to get stuff accomplished with a man who refuses to help.

for my and my hubby, i usually end up "nagging" because i've asked him repeatedly to do something and he always says "i forgot"...he can remember the most stupid of things relating to nascar, or sports, or something that happened years ago...but something i ask him all the time to either do, or not do, he "forgets"...i honestly don't mean to nag, but when he conveniently forgets things often, i get annoyed...he expects me to remember everything for what he wants but when the tables are turned, its a different story....
i guess this is just another one of the differences between the majority of men and women...i know all women don't nag and i know some men that do nag...

Sometimes women have to nag to get anything done, like all men are deaf...some just like to be the boss and they think nagging is the way to achieve that.

Sometimes it gets the point across.
Honestly I dont even notice I am nagging when my man tells me I am. But if I dont tell him to pick the towel off the floor next time how will he know not to do it again?
