I dumped my last girlfriend prior to my wife because she was a nagger.

Mom didn’t approve of that kind of relationship ;o)

But seriously, she nagged me quite a bit so I dumped her after 8 months.

I figured out a long time ago that nagging is unproductive and usually makes the nagger the bad guy when, in reality, the naggee is the one who isn't doing what he/she is supposed to. So, here's an example of how I avoid nagging: I asked my sister to take a bunch of photos of her house — why I wanted them is irrelevant — and she agreed. I reviewed with her what exactly I wanted and asked if she could get them to me within a month. She said, “Yes.” I then said I would send her an email reminder one week before the one month mark — unless I received them before that, obviously — but would do nothing besides that. She said that would work. I sent the one email, as promised, and she sent me the photos at the one month mark. Had she never sent me the photos, I would have driven three hours to her house and arrived unannounced and taken the photos myself. (I'm not kidding.) I don't nag people or fight with people anymore. They other do what I ask without a fuss or I do it myself.
