How To Handle A Nagger
Posted: June 29, 2012 | By: Mary Jo Rapini | Photo: Mark Reeve, http://www.metro.co.uk/home/

Here are some suggestions that might help if you are a nagger or live with a nagger:

Don’t let nagging destroy your relationship. It doesn’t really require a counselor either if you’re ready to talk about it with one another. Begin by being aware that it is happening and is a cycle.

Stay calm and try to look at the funny side of nagging. Getting angry and exploding about your partner nagging you, or your partner not listening to you will only make the nagger more likely to nag.

Make a list of your requests that you would normally nag about, and put a priority number on them. If your partner is too busy to complete the really important ones, hiring someone to complete them is worth the strife it will cause on your marriage to continue nagging your partner.

Re-evaluate your nagging. Some nagging is done for the right reason. For example, if you’re the one responsible for paying the credit card bills each month, and you have a tendency to forget, your partner’s nagging may be necessary. I would suggest in that case that you have a better monitoring system, so you don’t force your partner into unnecessary nagging.
