Men Do Nag, Find Out Why

Posted on January 7, 2009 in Tips for A Wife

It is a very common assumption that women are the ones who NAG the most. What is unknown to many is that men also NAG and their nagging is as bad as a woman’s. So much so it can drive away the wife and the children millions of miles away from him. Unlike a woman whose nagging irritates the family members, a man’s nagging terrorizes the entire family and keeps them in fear of the person.

Why Does A Man Nag

1)    Men resort to nagging when they find their family members not listening to what he wants to say. So by nagging he gets his thoughts heard.

2)    Men also resort to nagging when under serious stress and tension, worries in the family or work place. Constant stress may cause the individual to become irritable and cause him to be rude to his family members.

3)    Men at times believe that nagging is the best way of instilling discipline in the wife and children.

4)    Sometimes men resort to nagging when they have low self esteem and by constantly shouting and keeping family members in fear, they get a boost in their confidence levels, and this method of terrorizing soothes their wounded ego.

5)    Nagging is also used as a form of emotional black mail, in order to get family members do things out of guilt rather than affection.

Is your husband a nag?  Changing the way he thinks can change your husbands nagging behavior. The above points may help you know why he resorts to nagging and will help you deal with him in a patient and understanding way.

    Very well written. Yes, I do agree with you. Men nag to overcome their anxious feelings and low self-esteem. Easy way to get their work done!
