Being married is a wonderful feeling for many, but when your spouse starts to nag you over the smallest things it can get irritating. How do you handle such a spouse, yet you still love them but the nagging bit is a problem, how do I go about this issue without hurting my spouse's feelings?

If you can, talk to them about it. But if you sense that they will become abusive or even more negative, etc then it's time to look for another spouse. I hate the fact that some men nag women. And vice versa too, especially if it gets to the point of being abusive. One spouse is usually more dominant in a relationship and the dominant one is usually the nagger as well.

My husband always nag at me. Instead I nag, he nags. It is the opposite because usually, women nags a lot compare to men. How do I deal my husbands nagging? I just don't listen to him when he starts nagging and I walk away. hehehehe

does it mean your husband is nagging you instead of you nagging him? it is unusual for a man to be the nagger so you must really address this early. sometimes, man's act of nagging can turn out to be verbal abuse so better do something about it. it is better for the both of you to talk things out in which both of you have the chance to talk and explain his/her side. it is not good that only one person speaks and don't want to listen. for a relationship to be successful it should have balance of everything, love, trust and RESPECT.

You simply avoid doing those things that leads to nagging. Most people turn to nagging because they think the spoouse is ignorant of they are saying.
