    I think for the most part you are right. I hope she will agree.

    We don't have kids. She works and I work.

    I prefer to relax for about 1 hour before cooking. She likes to rush into it. We split the job of housework including cooking.

    I prefer to relax for about an hour when I get home, that's all. That was why I made the comment about beer ect.

    I do give a F about what she is saying, dude. You don't know me, so chill. I love my wife and I'm trying to figure things out in an anonomous manner. That's why I posted this.

    But, anyway, you're probably right; I should just listen. My point is, how am I different from a wall if I just listen and offer nothing back in the form of communication? Isn't communication a two-way street? So, when I'm presented with a problem from someone I love, should I not try to help her solve it?
    Have you tried to tell her that you need/want time to decompress when you get home after work?
    Even if she is not into the idea, part of her needs to respect it.
    You need to come to a compromise or else you are going to end up completely resenting each other and going your seperate ways.
    Talk to her and if she resists, try for a half hour of decompression time.
    Instead of a beer, why don't you go running? That helps to wind down much better than parking yourself in front of the tv with a beer.

    I *HATE* when wives nag their husbands...and I see it all the time. It's even glorified on tv (i.e. Raymond). Drives me insane....

    Define 'nagging'..... I'm not sure I'd call asking for sympathy, support and a little empathy 'nagging.' That seems to be the case here.


    Asking him repeatedly to take the garbage out, wash the dishes or walk the dog..... thats nagging.... and maybe not unjustified :)

    she's very true. unlike the stereotype, most women don't spend all their time nagging. if they do it's their fault they're with someone they feel the need to nag. why wouldn't you just break up with someone if you're at the point of nagging?

    I'm on the no nagging bandwagon here but, for heaven's sake, eliminate the need! Get off your lazy ass and take care of what needs to be taken care of. I think women sometimes have an easier time of forcing themselves to get in gear and just get the mundane things done that have to be done than men. They'll procrastinate and ignore it. These are generalizations, I realize. I don't like being a nag, I hope I never am one. I procrastinate anything I possibly can but there's a difference when it's chores and boring crap like that....it needs to be done!

    Exactly.
    I love the word nag as much as i love the term bridezilla.
    Overused, cliche and f-ing ignorant.

    I rarely nag...there's no point. It just breeds resentment and ill-feeling.

    There are lots of other ways to get your point across and get what needs to be done, done. Sort of a 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours' kind of attitude. That way everybody's happy.

    it's a woman who's having a wedding and goes nuts trying to make everything "perfect", treats everyone like dirt, and expects that she's entitled to everything.

    I was trying to find a clip of Everybody Loves Raymond to show how it's glorified on tv.
