How do you deal with constant nagging?

[Gandalf]

Sorry to read this mate and for you to type it really tells me how unhappy you really are at the minute.


i know what it is and i have a feeling you do too.

me and the wife never argue and she never nags me EVER, but when we were in Germany she drank more as did i and we got into some really bad arguments.

now i have been back in the UK for 2 years we aint had one.... i can only put this down to the massive daily pressure of living abroad even thou we loved it over there

sounds like she just wants to come home mate... i know thats not what you want to hear but its the truth... what happens if you stick it out over there?? i have no idea mate because i didn't.

hopefully things get better because you and your wife are alot stronger than me

I think she definitely wants the overseas experience on her resume, but that's it really. She is Korean and has never lived in the UK before. That experience will mean easier access to higher positions in the corporate ladder when she gets back here further down the road. TBH my position is the most logical and I went into that a little in my previous post. The company said she was the best candidate to go and wanted a quick answer, but unfortunately with all my ties I am unable to up and leave, and like I say, I don't particularly want to go anyway.

Yeah, the nagging thing is annoying. If I try to iron my own shirts she will simply iron them again. If I wash up, then she will simply do it again. So, I have effectively given up trying to do those kinds of things. The only thing I am allowed to do with any peace is cleaning the bathroom. I'm quite good at that apparently. When it comes to drinking, she doesn't even drink. So any amount of alcohol is always me being a drinking machine. Ah well.

As the British would say, "Give her a good rogering." That should fix the problem.

If not a few good bottles of Soju should dull the senses.

that changes things then... it prob is just holiday blues.

she went away and didn't want to go home, she's prob just looking for an adventure and Mr common sense (you) is pissing her off

looks like its already passed... chin up mate

Yeah, much better day today. She's gone to bed and not a single cross word between us. Hopefully the start of a new trend. I think you are right, she just needed time to come back down to earth. I should have shown her some of the rougher sides of UK life rather than spend all our time going to famous tourist attractions, seeing shows and sleeping in expensive hotels. Her world view is probably all warped now.
