I saw this headline at Drudge and immediately went over to check titled “Study: Nagging By A Spouse Could Shorten Your Life”:
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It is a part of marriage that everyone loathes – the occasional or, in some cases, constant nagging between spouses.
And as CBS 2’s Scott Rapoport reported Friday, word has now come that nagging is not only annoying, but can even be life-threatening.
Ask any married guy on the planet and he’ll tell you, as one man told CBS 2, nagging is “not pleasant.”
But now a new study suggests husbands of nagging wives can actually be nagged to death.
Danish researchers from the University of Copenhagen said having a nagging partner can significantly shorten one’s life, and could result in three extra deaths per 100 people per year.
The study also said people nagged by their spouses are more likely to get heart disease and cancer.
“Sounds about right,” said Stephanie Cellitti. “I nag him a lot.”
The study also says men in particular are at risk.
I truly believe this, having counseled and talked to many men over the years who have been nagged and harassed by their spouse, some to the point of severe depression and heart disease. I can always tell if a man’s relationship is going poorly by how many times a wife or girlfriend calls him on the phone to tell him to do something or ask where he is. Naturally, if a man does this to a woman, it is abuse. Society doesn’t care if a woman nags and hassles a guy 24/7. Even the unempathetic women in the article mentioned that they weren’t going to stop. So, it’s up to men to protect themselves, at least until changes can be made, if ever.
My advice for those men not already married wondering if she would make a good wife? If she calls or texts multiple times a day to ask you to do something or asks what you are doing, she is probably going to continue this negative behavior. Take this as a sign that something many be wrong with the relationship and do not get too involved. It is not worth your health and certainly not your life.
What are other forms of nagging that you have witnessed that you feel are negative influences on men’s health?
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let wives be to their own husbands in every thing."
“”Ladies, nagging is unnecessary. If a man says he’ll do something, then he WILL do it.
There’s no need to remind him every six months about it!””
If it’s a man describing what “nagging” is, then this is exactly what is meant by it. Also “nagging” in a man’s book is “Close the door so the cat doesn’t get out!” That’s nagging as defined by a man. Sorry guys but that’s not nagging. At least not in my book.
Thanks. I was going to put this verse.
I'll get to it when I can! Sheesh.
I rode the commuter rail on a failed journey in town last weekend.
I was the lone passenger waiting at two stops (15-20 minute wait each time).
While I waited, I kept getting nagged by pre-recorded messaged about every 2 minutes.
“DON’T CROSS MID-BLOCK, ONLY USE THE APPROVED AND MARKED CROSSINGS”
And then again in Spanish.
“DON’T TRY TO PUT MORE THAN 2 BICYCLES IN A SINGLE RAIL CAR. THERE IS ONLY STORAGE SPACE FOR 2 BICYCLES PER CAR.”
And then again in Spanish.
“DON’T FORGET TO PURCHASE A TICKET. ALL PASSENGERS MUST HAVE A TICKET TO RIDE THE METRO RAIL.”
And then again in Spanish.
“DON’T BRING ANY FOOD OR DRINKS INTO THE RAIL CAR. YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO EAT ON THE METRO RAIL.”
And then again in Spanish.
“IF YOU SEE ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY YOU SHOULD CALL ##### TO REPORT IT TO METRO POLICE...”
And then again in Spanish.
and on and on and on...
JUST LET ME WAIT FOR THE VEHICLE IN PEACE AND QUIET!
Nag

I could’ve used that strategery myself. Too late and at the time, it never would have occurred to me .

I’M SORRY, A NAG-FREE TRAIN RIDE WAS VOTED AGAINST BY THE TOWN COUNCIL
And then again in Spanish.
HAVE YOU WASHED YOUR DISHES BEFORE YOU LEFT THE HOUSE?
And then again in Spanish.
YOU SEEM TO BE PUTTING ON A LITTLE WEIGHT. YOU NEED TO CUT DOWN ON THE FAST FOODS.
And then again in Spanish.
I SURE HOPE YOU DON’T OWN ANY GUNS! THOSE THINGS CAN PUT YOUR EYE OUT!
And then again in Spanish.
He bet his money on a bob-tailed nag...and he came back home with a pocket full of tin. (I assume that was coins...maybe it was just doo-da.)
