ARE YOU A NAG?
BY CINTHIA DENNIS
I have taught dating and relationship courses to 100 ' s of men and women and one of the main things the men I work with complain about is that their girlfriends and partners tend to " nag ". Not only do they complain about it but a lot of them have said that it was the reason why they left a relationship or cheated. I know, I know... It is very frustrating when your man keeps leaving his wet towel on the floor or if he isn ' t giving you the attention that you want. Sometimes, it feels like they don ' t hear you or don ' t even care and that is when the " nagging " comes in.
However, getting upset, and angry about it rarely makes a difference, in fact it most likely will make the situation worse.
Men are very suspicious of anything that might look like he is losing his freedom and the way most women ask for what they want and need comes off like a demand. This way of speaking will quickly shut men down and puts them into a state of high alert.
