Answer 1

she wants to drive you to your death so she can collect the insurance money

Answer 2

A lot of times we feel like when we talk to you guys we are talking to walls and you ignore half of what we say (which you probably do) and unforunately this is why we continue to talk and talk and talk so that we can get the point across. Just make sure you listen to what she says the first time and tell her that you are listening and that she doesnt need to explain herself any further. It might take a few times but it will eventually work. And also, do what you say you are going to do and she will have no reason to nag. And we women have the memory of elephants when it comes to what our men do wrong... because it all adds up in our inventory of what kind of person you really are.... and we don't want to get hurt multiple times. I guess I'm rambling which is something you didn't want lol so i'll stop..... good luck!

Answer 3

Maybe wives nag because husbands don't do what they're asked to do. Wives nag because they're unhappy with a situation which a husband can easily correct if he wanted to but obviously he doesn't which is why she nags. How to shut them up? Easy - just do what they want you to do, give them a hug and tell them you love them no matter how she nags. That usually shuts them up.

Answer 4

I'm a wife, and I have to agree with you.

I do hear alot of other wives whine and complain all the time. I don't see how alot of husbands deal with it. It would drive me insane.

I've been married 9 years and I've never even hollered at my husband, and hasn't ever hollered at me. If we get on each others nerves, we just give each other space.

If I've got to whine and complain, then something is wrong. I've got better things to do.

Good luck.......

Answer 5

Husbands need to think about what to say before they say it, and don't promise something if your not absolutly sure your going to do it. Women nag because men tend to say insensitive things and are so hard to get to do the things they want them to do. I tell my husband I wouldn't nag if you'd do what I want you to do!!

Answer 6

I don't nag. I merely mention! By the way men are some of the biggest naggers and whiners, next to kids!

Answer 7

If you did what you were supposed to do, then she wouldn't have anything to nag about, would she? From a wife's point of view there is no such thing as nagging, just annoying husbands who won't take responsibility for doing what's needed when it's needed, and they force their wife to keep reminding them! How inconsiderate!

Answer 8

if you would just do it right the first time, there would be no nagging. I never nag my husband.

Answer 9

Umm this is the wrong place to post this buddy.
I am a wife. I dont nag and if I do its because I have a good reason too.
If you husbands would get your head out of your butt and just do what we tell you then you wouldnt have that problem.

Answer 10

if you did what you are suppose to do there would be less, when you say hurtful things they just don't go away. stop and think if someone did you that away how would you feel? when your the one on the other end it's not the same. feelings get hurt and why would you want to hurt the one you are suppose to love. where does that come into love?

Answer 11

Men nag too.....my soon to be ex is not hysterical, he's historical. He can not only remember everything I ever did wrong,but the exact date and time that it happened.
