Why Does My Wife Nag Me
Ever Wondered Why Your Wife or Girlfriend Keeps Nagging You ?
It’s because it works !
It is a classic complaint and oft heard from married men that their wives have turned into old nags.
Constantly moaning about things or something that wants doing. Many women have admitted it themselves and even hate the trait in themselves.
Thankfully, I am spared the nagging wife or girlfriend so it’s not something I need to worry about.
But such is the issue that there have been scientific studies carried out and the results just published.
It’s not a stereotypical myth or urban legend women do tend to pester their husbands or partners.
It was also found to increase dramatically once they were married - there’s a warning fellas !
But here is the problem …
They found out that a nagging women tends to get what she wants
The more she goes on the more likely she is to get a result.
How Do I Stop My Wife Nagging Me
You can’t is the short answer 
If she does plague you like a boil your only option is to lance it 
I am reminded of an old friend who told me every time he came home from work
“she would start”
When are you going to do this ?
What about that ?
Why can’t I have my own car ? So and So has !
All this coming from the sofa where she has been most of the day and will remain most of the night !
Shudder - makes me shake just thinking about it
To our male readers I hope you are not a hen pecked man
To our female readers I hope you’re not henpecking your man
All the best

You sound like you speak from experience?
Like i have previously said…. Men will do what they want in the end nag or not!

Rod,
You’re doing yourself few favours to hold on to your female readers, they would be far better off jumping ship to my site where their qualities are so much more appreciated-it’s just a click away girls

Jordan,
Thankfully I have never been on the receiving end of this.
You could say I have been lucky but I like to think it’s because I’m such a great guy there’s never been need to go on at me
Best

the female readers on this site have more than enough sense to realise I am merely reporting the results of a newly published scientific study.
I reckon the blame is probably 50/50 anyway
Whilst their tests showed the aforementioned results what they don’t say is how many men deserved it ?

Rod,
There shouldn’t be too much nagging going on within an equal partnership… fair’s fair after all and out of courtesy one should politely inform the other about important stuff, being assertive when necessary, especially when the man is only pretending to listen
Adopting a blind ear to mens little foibles from time to time will pay dividends ultimately, but do keep a tally to throw back at him when the need arises

some partnerships are more equal than others
I may start nagging myself to assimilate the joys of matrimony, could be my new project
live like a married man but without actually having a wife …
There could be some blog posts in this idea, what makes things like this jump into my head?

Rod,
Is the art of gentle persuasion the same as nagging? The Witches are quite fascinated by certain people who manage to get their own way surreptitiously without nagging, more often than not, in slick and effortless style. Most are born with this skill we believe.
Seems a bit of a shame to live life like a married man whilst being very much a bachelor… on the other hand you’ll never be disappointed and other men shouldn’t pose too much of a threat but don’t what ever you do, expect flowers though

Depends how long you go on for

You’ve talked me out of it then !
The art of gentle persuasion appears to work

Rod,
We do not nag, we ask politely the first time, nicely the second and by the time it gets to the third, we are getting a little bit cross, which may appear to the male population as nagging, which of course it is not
it is merely frustration!!!!
Ideally, we should not have to ask at all !

good point !
I have to say I have often heard the likes of
“my wife has been nagging me for ages about that”
The reconstructed male in me says “if he’d done it then she wouldn’t be going on at him”
The unreconstructed male in me says “if he had done it she’d find something else to moan about”
I like to think I don’t need asking - just reminding
Regards

My missus nags at me simply because I’m a lazy bastid!

Rod,
The reconstructed male …. are we talking Frankenstein or Grand Designs?

I’d like to think Grand Designs - but think more ‘lean-to’ rather than St Pauls
