Ladies, do you nag? Guys, what do you think of nagging?

My friend and I were talking about men who complain that their wives nag too much. But I say, I don't think women are naturally born naggers, they just nag because there's something to nag about especially if their men ignore them. Sometimes for men, they think that their wife is nagging, but for her she's just being concerned. What's your point of view on this one?

I used to "nag" as you call it, but I gave up on that one a long time ago. I figured out that we got along so much better if I just didn't say anything and either did it myself or left it alone if it was something that involved my husband. My concern for him turned into praying for him because he doesn't talk about his emotions or problems very much. To personal for him and he keeps at a distance when it comes to that sort of thing. God bless

Sometimes, nagging is needed. Especially when it comes to their health. Men love to eat the wrong thing. I believe that it is one of those macho things. But, if you ask a man to do something like a chore for you, I do not believe that you should nag him about it.
They hear us the first time we say it, but I feel that they want to be able to do things in their own time. If there is a time limit, sometimes we may have to do it ourselves. But, I know that once you ask a man to do something, he does not like to be constantly nag about it.

If she's nagging to a point where it's doing my head in, then she is too concerned and possibly paranoid - I would start ignoring her and if she kept on it would just end up pushing me away. Women need to less paranoid and make sure that they give their man space - all men need space and time to themselves, they don't like to feel that their partner has control over them or bosses them about all the time.

I don't think that I nag my boyfriend, unless it is for his best interests, such as if he has an exam coming up, he knows that he needs to revise and thanks me for getting at him about it, it is just he needs that little push. Other than that I tend not to nag, because people nagging at me infuriates me, just because I didn't do something straight away, does not mean I did not hear them or that I am not going to do it, just that I am busy with something else or preparing myself to do the task (thinking about the best way to go about it and such).

i am not a kind of nagger. and i do not like it, too. but i know some wives always nag in front of their hbs. some ladies are earnest, neat and have a high standard for themselves. so to their hbs, they hope they also can do that. if the hbs can not reach their standard, then they will complain until hbs change.
but too much nagging is not good. maybe it will affect the relationship between wfs and hbs.

I am not much of a nagger, but I have had my days :)
Hubby doesn't usually complain of nagging so I guess I'm not over doing it.
I usually don't think that nagging accomplishes much, but I'm only human and as I said there have been days ... :)

I think some men just think when a woman wants them to do anything they don't want to do, or says anything that disagrees with them in the slightest that's nagging. I said some men, I know they're not all like that. Of course, sometimes there's a very good reason for nagging!

Hi, its me again. i dont nag, i dont know why, maybe because i have a good husband, no need to be nag. i have a friend who always nag even wiht just a simple reason. i think by nagging you jsut push your husband or wife to hate you more. and i dont think it is good in a relationship. this is only my opinion. ^_^

A woman will ask a man to do something and the man keeps putting it off and putting it off so the woman nags him about doing it.If they would just do it they wouldn't get nagged so its the mans fault that a woman nags.The man brings it on and then will tell her she nags at him.Duh.

It's in a nature that women nag - some do it to get attention - actually that's the main reason why. A woman does not tolerate a man who does not listen, who's hard headed and is being ignored. Women nag for a reason, it's because guys like us end up doing things we are not aware of - that's the thing about women that men will never understand - if a man tries to argue to a nagging woman - watch out! you will not go anywhere with it! ladies should not even dare ask a man why they do nag or even ask a man what we think of nagging - in our minds it is annoying and we tend to cope with it and stay quiet - I've learned that the hard way.
But the thing is if a woman nags at me she better have a good reason why she is nagging - Because for one I do not tolerate a nag for no apparent reason.
