Do you nag your spouse too much? Most of us do it occasionally. Sometimes we do it out of love or concern. “You shouldn’t stay up so late. You know it makes you irritable.” Often, though, we do it because we’re unappreciative. “Did you really forget the carrots at the grocery store? They were on the list!”
Lately, I’ve found myself in the second camp. Yes, I really did nag my husband for forgetting an item at the grocery store instead of being thankful that he went so I didn’t have to go out in the cold. I may have also mentioned that he doesn’t clean out the dishes well enough before he washes them. I have even complained about him sleeping during the day even though he works at night because I was so frustrated with our opposite schedules. And I’m embarrassed.
Nagging never helps a relationship. In fact, it can hurt your marriage in serious ways.

“I’m assuming, though, that when you do it yourself you don’t then sulk around for a week because he didn’t do it.”

No. I don’t. It’s not worth it over a minor thing such as changing out a light bulb or taking out the garbage. Some things really do not matter. We are the ones that turn them into big things. (And yes, we have been married 46 years)
LOL!!!!
Nagging about nagging might be hard to defend...
