My wife used to be easygoing, and a real pleasure to be with. However, for about a year now she's gradually become really annoying. She nags every day about one thing or another, mostly really petty stuff. It's gotten to the point now where I'm considering limiting my time with her. But I don't want to have to do that because it probably won't help in the long run. But it's irritating the hell out of me and I don't know how much longer I can take it.

How long have you been taking it?

Need more info if you really want help. If you just want to rant, make a blog.

What happened to "for better or worse?"

Communication with her might help.

Have you told her you've noticed an alarming change in her personality, and are concerned as to her physical and emotional health? If not, the time to do so is now.

She may be depressed. You don't say how old you two are, but she may be going through hormonal changes. She may be sleeping poorly. We can't help you, you'll have to talk to her, and possibly get some couples counseling, if it's not a health-related problem.

And how about you? Has your behavior changed at all? Are you still carrying out the chores and attending to repairs, etc. in a timely manner, as (presumably) before? If you don't give her anything to nag about, she can't nag. If your domestic scene is in such disarray that minor stuff is always coming up, you should attend to that.

Yes I've talked to her many times. There's nothing wrong with her health.

You're the reason she is nagging you.

Behind every nagging women is a man not doing what he's supposed to do.

Well has the nagging got anything to do with YOU? We've all had nagging partners mate but more often than not its us that have drove them to it

Have you actually talked to her about it? ( i know you probably don't want to get nagged at LOL ) but worth at least trying it.

So, what's provoking it? Have you asked her? What has she said in response to your "many" talks?

Have you slacked off on your share of the chores? Have you been neglectful of your personal hygiene? What's going on?
