I watched this episode on rachel ray last night that focused on this subject and got me thinking about this trait. Although I can say that I am not a nagger, I am just not so sure. What if I become one? And why do women tend to nag? Any explanations out there?

nagging is normal especially in a boy-girl relationship. In most relationship it is the woman who nags all the time. We are always criticising nagging wife, girlfriend and even a nagging mother especially for those who haven't experience situations wherein we tend to nag than sit in the corner and shut our mouth up until morning. In my opinion, we tend to nag at our partners and even to our children because we want to calm ourselves down and thats one of the reason. Another is we tend to nag because it is our only way of expressing our anger and that is our only way of getting revenge to our partner. Women are normally weaker that men thats why we used nagging as a tool to opressed our partner and to make them realize that they are doing a mistake or they are to be blamed of what is happening. Actually I can't say that I am not a nagger because though i have fights with my partner(we're not yet married) I tend to keep my mouth shut than waste my strenght in naggng at him. I Know that nagging is not a solution to a fight or a problem arising from a mistake of one party instead it would make the situation worst. WHy is it that there are women who were hit by their husband or by their boyfriends?Because of too much nagging. Did it solve the problem? Of course thats a big "NO". But I know that all of us has a temper that we keep in ourselves. If we cant control our temper thats the time that we nag and nag and nag. SO for all of us, All i can advice is we should be more open-minded to things that is happening around us because by this we can avoid problems, we can avoid problems to become big and we can avoid ourselves to "NAG".

yep i nag it is one way of letting out my emotion because it makes my heart aches when i keep my problems inside of me. for me nag is a healthy way of letting yuor anger subside. after i nag and explain evrything i am not angry anymore and i dont want to keep grudges in my heart. so its better for me to speak out what my mind says...

I guess, we all need an outlet to vent our stresses out. Thanks for sharing.

I am not a nag and I actually hate repeating myself. As in! But I have ways of getting things the way I want them too. I am a strong will and personality and if pushed I could well be an aggressive negotiator. I guess I learned it over the years since it's part of my jog. Good thing that I get to apply it in my personal life. So I don't nag but I negotiate, cajole, persuade and wheedle.

Yea, I hate repeating myself too and most often than not I just clam up when I am irritated or angry. I don't really nag, although I make "kulit" sometimes.:P
