Well guys, now it’s never going to stop!
According to a new study published in New Scientist magazine, pestering is an effective way for wives to get their husbands to cave in to their demands. I’d imagine it works both ways. Researchers studied persuasion and concluded that nagging works. Why? It leaves the person being nagged too exhausted to fight back. When a person is bombarded with questions and/or demands it makes them more vulnerable to persuasion.
I’ve never been a “nagger.” I’ve always been under the impression that it wouldn’t get me anywhere. Maybe it’s time to reconsider (just kidding Mike).
Alright, it’s time to come clean…Do you nag your husband or wife? What is the thing you nag about the most? Does he or she usually cave?

Weslea, my ex-boyfirend is nagging me about having sex. He does it every time that I see him and it gets to the point to where I give up and just give him some.

Why would you want to do this! Would you like it done to you? Things will get done in time. I just think it is just plain rude. Patience works in our household and we have been married over 25 years and have kids.

Hasn’t anyone ever heard of emotional abuse. It is real and is no different than physical abuse, just ask counselors at abuse centers. There is nothing harder than getting back your self-esteem and if you have been “nagged” about the same stuff over and over, it breaks down not just your emotional connection as partners but also your self-esteem.
