Nagging in Marriage Is More Common Than Adultery But Can Also Lead to Divorce - WSJ.com

Nagging—the interaction in which one person repeatedly makes a request, the other person repeatedly ignores it and both become increasingly annoyed—is an issue every couple will grapple with at some point. While the word itself can provoke chuckles and eye-rolling, the dynamic can potentially be as dangerous to a marriage as adultery or bad finances. Experts say it is exactly the type of toxic communication that can eventually sink a relationship.

women are more likely to nag, experts say... The problem is that by asking repeatedly, they make things worse.

Men are to blame, too, because they don't always give a clear answer. But many times he doesn't respond because he doesn't know the answer yet, or he knows the answer will disappoint her.

Indeed...I even tried to mitigate Shelagh's nagging by agreeing to her grand compromise...I could be messy in my office but not in general areas...no clutter outside my office where I kept the door closed but she couldn't even follow through with the compromise because in her words, "I know what's behind that door." :)
 
Consistent complaining is a good sign you can't work together. Eventually, there has to be a break and a big relief.
