Why do wives nag their husbands?

I often encounter a lot stories about wives nagging their husbands. Stories from the neighborhood, a scene in a sitcom or movie, and stories in comics. Is this really a reality that most wives nag their husbands? To the wives out there, what are your reasons for doing so? I just want to know...

Honestly!! I don't nag my husband. when he is upset, I understand that it is work related and I don;t argue with him. when something is wrong I won't blame him or saying many things to accuse him because I know he is trying his best to earn a living so that we can survive. If other wives are naggers, I consider myself not. I don't usually say anything.

To the husbands it is nagging. To the wives it is trying to tell him something that he doesn't want to hear, so it is termed as nagging. I think that men have an upper hand in this terminology.

You really want to know why? Because the ones being nagged are lazy, selfish, poor excuses for husbands. They put the weight of the family and household on us so they can enjoy their hobbies and complain and criticize us if things aren't perfect. We can do 20 things for them in a day yet if we ask them to do 1 thing for us they are suddenly too busy or they conveniently forget. They think everything they do is more important than what we do. They think we have to like the same things they like but they refuse to ever join us in things we enjoy.... You want any more reasons? I'm just getting started.

no different from the constant wife beater husbands, nagging i think is the wife version of it only less painful physically, except to the ears

I couldn't say I am nagging my husband because he's the one who is nagging me all the time ha ha ha! :) Honestly, I am upset when my husband is not listening to me. :( My husband is a workaholic man that's why sometimes I am complaining when he has no time for me and just thinking about his job. :( I guess wives have lots of reasons why they are nagging their husbands. Anyone who is going to read this, please give fortknox lots of reasons. :)

hahaha...really your husband nags you? We'll maybe your husband just had a bad day at work that time. As you have said, he's workaholic and maybe he had a lot of issues from work. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
