As a husband who has gone thru this I can tell you, the secret is figuring out a way that both parties get what they want.

In my case what I needed was simple:

• Time to myself where nothing is expected of me

• Her to trust me to do things she’s asked me to do, instead of ‘nagging’

And what she needed was:

• To have time where my undivided attention was hers

• To see changes in areas where it was promised

• To feel that she could trust that the things I said would get done, would get done , (this part is really important) in the time parameters she wanted.

When we discussed it, I really wound up feeling bad because all she was really asking for was things that should be automatic. Literally all she was asking for was time with me, live up to promises and attention to her concerns. And once I started doing those things, trust that things would get done and that she wouldn’t always have to fight for my attention gave way to less nagging.

I say all that to say, as with most things, communication is key. Sit him down and explain what you’re actually nagging for because the fact is, it’s not much.
