You love your partner but only her nagging makes you sic. She always find ways for faultfinding, criticizing, demanding, etc. We, gentlemen, feel too pressured to end the relationship because of this nagging.
How can we survive these nagging relationships still holding on to our wits?

Hey guys can be nagging too. I've had some pretty annoying relationships with the nagging about what we wear and who we hang out with. Some guys are crazy. But I know what you mean about female nagging. I use to be a nagger, I'm in recovery 
I'm a lot better now and realize nagging happens a lot when girls are unsatisfied with their relationship. It could be any number of reasons, you don't talk enough, hang out enough, she's insecure about herself, she thinks your cheating. It could be a ton of things. Just sit down and ask her whats wrong and wh she does it. Some girls are so use to it they will probably never change. Good luck.

Guys nag as you surmised but it is only the rationalization of some viewpoints by men. Women are more sensitive to some issues but tend to nag more once they feel men assert more than women talk. Most of the time women don't want to accept their faults and shortcomings but instead get angry with their men. :D

Men are naggers too. Not just women. My husband nags more than I do. I agree that those who nag is because they feel that they are unappreciated after all the things they've done for their partner. My husband nags when he feels tired after he's done some chores that I haven't even asked him to do and when I didn't help in the chores. I don't understand why he has to do those chores when it tires him and causes him to nag. It seems to me that it's insincere of him to do the chores and expects people to compliment him on the chores well done. If you want to do something then do it sincerely, if not don't do it at all.
Some girls nag unknowingly that their nagging irritates their boyfriends. Maybe if you were to tell her how her nagging irritates you without causing her to feel hurt she might stop. If she values your relationship she would do anything to hold on to you.

kid221,
Let me see, for one you may want to turn the tables here and let her experience what it is liked to be nagged every now and then.
Have a taste of her own medicine as they say, maybe it would open up eyes if not minds here. Nagging is actually manageable till it actually becomes paranoia.
So, I'd say be direct and if lessons have to be learned the hard way then just too bad!

kid221,
I think they have a hard time understanding themselves in the first place and just do not know what they want.
They just think that they can make people better by nagging when “People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be, not what you nag them to be.”
Sometimes, I just do not know whether to pity them or not here.

i don't like relationships like that. Life is too short to be walking on pins and needles. I hate to be criticized and if I had a partner that was doing that I think I would tell him to hit the road. My boyfriend annoys me in many ways, but he does not critcize or fault find most of the time. I would hate thta.
