Can you go a day without getting an earful from the Mrs?

[BadFish]

I'm not sure you really understand women! You will learn one day.

I think he is pretty close to the mark actually. I have been married 10 years and my missus doesn't nag me, I can go out when I want and do what I want (I consider the implication to her and the kids when I arrange stuff). In my experience fellas who get nagged and moaned at by their wives do just as much moaning, nagging and controlling as their missus. It is about mutual respect, consideration and looking after each other. I don't want my life to descend into some kind of stereotypical sitcom relationship and refuse to let it happen.

My lady is great .... Let's me watch as much footie as I want and even pretends to enjoy it.

Rarely gives me any grief... Does all the household chores and is a bit of a looker

No punch line !

I've decided not to actively search for a lady. I'm at an important stage of my existence and things will be alot simpler without having to please someone else.

My last lady friend ensured that I worried too much about pleasing her, caring for her every whim, rather than pleasing myself (not like that). I am, probably, with myself for a lot longer than her, so one must look after themselves. I'm not actively seeking. My new phase (primary school teaching) will ensure that I meet many, many, many women along the lines. Happy to focus on myself for the time being without a 'missus' dragging me down.

Yep pretty much daily basis here as well. Could be something to do with the washing up, drink too much gin, watching too much crap tv etc etc.
Couldn't live without her though. Have been in plenty of relationships and have been married as well but she looks after me, stops me from doing stupid things, loves my kids and they love her.
Plus she understands my support of the Albion and has even come on away days. Job done

What do you do for her?

Most of the examples on this thread are of men who seem to think that being in a relationship means they can do exactly what they want, when they want.

I think it's a sad state of affairs if people are entering into relationships under the implicit agreement that they're giving up an adult freedom that (within the bounds of the law) they can do what they want, when they want. I live with my missis, but I certainly do what I want, when I want. It just so happens that a lot of the stuff I want to do is with her; she's great. I know I have a choice with what to do with my life, but more importantly my missis knows I have a choice and that I'm more than capable of exercising it. As a result she tends to make the time I spend with her as pleasant as possible, which means no nagging and loads of sex.

A lot of this is true.

Thats the spirit. I'm gonna enjoy my evening in with the Mrs (of 7 years) but probably get some shit for spending to long on my mobile on NSC.

Hahaha i get moaned at for that too! Strangely enough spending hours on Facebook is absolutely fine. Only I don't really like Facebook.

It's probably because you are two of the most wealthy, attractive, witty and intelligent men on NSC

 

[Jack Daniels]

I think personally you lot should worry about when your wives are NOT nagging - because in my experience its when we stop nagging its when we really don't care anymore!!!!

This, had not passed my by.

Still good to know others are getting shit for exactly the same stuff I do. I don't mind the nagging really. In most case's I just learn from it and try and appease it before it happens.

Then get a welcome thank you rather than, why have you not done. Saves time all round.

I definitely would not risk the tactic of deliberately winding up. Seems like a suicide move to me.

Sounds like you missed the point of having a mrs. It's certainly not to drag you down. Probably best you do not have one for now.

I don't think there is ever an implicit agreement that one has to give up their adult freedom. With relationships (depending upon their nature - living together, kids etc), there come responsibilities and nagging/earbashing usually comes about when one side of the relationship believes that the other is not doing enough to fulfill those responsibilities. Certainly in my marriage and I suspect a lot of others, the biggest change took place when we had kids. Suddenly, I had loads of responsibilities that were not there before and it was a difficult thing to adjust to - I couldn't spend my weekends doing what I was doing before we had kids and I got nagged and earbashed occasionally. But we sorted it out and moved on.

It is a question of balance - if some men go into relationships expecting that nothing in their life will change and resist it when they do, then they are going to get nagged. Unless they are in a relationship with a doormat.

Times the last bit by 100 if you have children.

Rarely disagree on anything these days and as Mini now goes to most away games there are no issues on who does what.

Involving the kids in your passion/hobby is the key to happiness. As soon as mine can ride a surfboard I will be a happy man!!

It's threads like this that make me appreciate singledom.

It's not about being single. it's about being in a solid relationship where you don't nag or get nagged.

Looking at some of the posts on here I can't understand why some men or women settle for this type of relationship. I can only imagine their expectations of life are fairly low or they are too afraid to change life for the better, if you are saying stuff like "Ooh, she don't half nag, she don't half get on my nerves but I wouldn't be without her"! Listen to yourselves!! Why would anyone settle for that? I was with my GF for ten years, hardly rowed, I loved spending time with her and she didn't have a problem with me going about my life as I wished. It just so happened I'm not a layabout waste of space who needs nagging to do the necessities of life unlike it sounds, a lot of people on here.
