Don"t Be a Nag
I know all women are guilty of "nagging" a man.
No woman likes to be called a nag.
That's almost as bad as being called an ole' hag.
What? Are you kidding me? Let's replace this negative behavior with an understanding of why we do it.
Once we understand why be behave this way, it should be an easy fix.
Behaviors, whether positive or negative don't change overnight.
But with gradual effort, it will happen.
One tactic is to not make him feel like a monster that evolved out of a man cave.
For e.
g.
, he comes home, walks in the house with his shoes on, and tracked dirt on the rug.
Something like this might get a woman really annoyed.
While the man is trying to figure out...
what's the big deal? And so, the nagging begins.
If he's not attentive to what you're saying or apologetic, this minor infraction can manifest into a huge argument that never should have happened in the first place.
Instead of appearing confrontational, be cordial and remind him to remove his shoes at the door.
It's best to treat your partner as an equal adult instead of belittling him or his behavior.
Both of you are on the same team.
Therefore you should exist as a team, and not in opposition to each other.
If you're reminding him of things that need to get accomplished, try setting a timetable.
Give him a reasonable amount of time to acknowledge the timetable and get the deed done.
Flattery works for men too.
If he's performing a cumbersome task, let him know just how manly you think he is when he's involved with that task.
Compliment his work and let him know you appreciate his help.
Do yourself a favor and let him know if there's something you don't like.
Don't take it for granted that he knows how you feel about anything.
Unfortunately, men don't think that way.
You really have to spell it out, and sometimes you'll be amazed they didn't notice this, that, or the other.
Some little irks, I suggest you vent to girlfriend.
You'll establish common ground as you realize you are not in this thing alone.
It all goes back to that common word we've heard a million times before.
Communication.
Remembering to communicate as you did early on in your courtship should be plenty help.
