How do you deal with constant nagging?

[Mark TKO]

its these sort of things that put me off settling down

don't really know what to say Miles but sounds to me as though the her giving up the 'coming back home for 6 months' has started things snowballing and I have to say it don't bode well for the near future - and I hope you get through tit


the only advice I can give you - is to start drinking heavily

[Gandalf]

Cheers for the advice fellas.

I think this nagging spell will pass in due course when she realises how unreasonable she is being. I mean fair enough working 6 months overseas will look good on her resume and enable her to gain promotion quicker, but then she is the one that has been talking about wanting to start a family in her early 30's. I'm the one that will need to be earning more money and TBH I can do that easier here with my experience, qualifications and contacts. Me going home and doing nothing and then coming back here again would just put me back at square one. It just wouldn't make any sense to do that. She is having her extremely irritating huff and a puff, but in the meantime I shall continue doing my work, try and avoid the gunfire, and drink heavily like Mark suggested. Like Lyle says, women aren't always the most logical of creatures and deep thinkers like myself are always ahead of the curve. She will realise that I am right in due course. Well, I hope so anyway!

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.

How do I deal with a constant nagging cunt? I'd just say "bitch, gimme a beer... just clean, cook, and STFU!"

what the fuck are you moaning about !!??!! The constant nagging surely makes it all worth it

Sooner you can get her on the bathroom job too the better.


Didn't realise she was Korean so my bit on the fact you were stopping her returning home for 6 months is null and void.

Give her 2 months and if she still not calmed down adopt the Mike Tyson - Robin Givens tactic

by the way you got PS3 sorted yet - we need to get it on on Fight Night

The strange thing is that she has been as right as rain today, maybe just a case of me pissing her off and her having the post holiday blues. Dunno, will have to wait and see. I hope she isn't secretly reading all of this!

And yeah, I managed to get the playstation hooked up. I designed this pasty faced fighter called Wlad Duncan. Stupid name really, but it sounded funny at the time. The kind of name you would expect Lyle to give a fighter. I just cannot deal with fighters who are bigger than me and I hate the lag that you get sometimes. Maybe we can get a fight going this weekend. The time difference might be a bit awkward though.

[Saddo]

She is Korean and has never lived in the UK before.

Right, I'm 8 hours ahead of you. So will try and be online from about 10am your time. I hope you aren't one of those bloody 6 foot 8 freaks who likes to fight like Wlad Klitschko! They do my nut in!

[Mark TKO]

no - fought one of thiose first time last weekend though. Normally a middleweight but created a heavy as there are more peopel available to fight.

somehow the guy never tired and was punching constantly (had to be a button player)

He knocked me out in 9th (i can never get up a second time) despite me flooring him 3 times - no idea how he managed to get up the final time

look forward to it 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.

They are weird. And there seems to be loads of them. I also hate it when you are winning the fight and the people just up and leave. You should always stay and take your licking.

I've mastered the game easily enough, but am still a bit hit and miss with the online thing. I will try and give you a decent scrap though. Will have to get a bit of practice in tomorrow as I've spent ages playing that Red Dead Redemption game. Bit rusty with the old boxing.

[Mark TKO]

yes I just gone back to fight night and fifa after about 2 months on Red Dead

I'm a one game at a time man - can't understand these guys who have more than one game on go at any one time.

Are you a button or TPC player with right stick ??

Same here. If I start a game I have to see it through to the end and games are so huge these days.

I use the stick, no button mashing from me, but I am not going to divulge any more information about my fighting as I think you are trying to work me out.
