Hat tip to Boston Bob.
Thank God Avalon never nags me. 🙂
I’ll die of something else, like a drone strike or being crushed by an 18 wheeler on the Schuylkill Expressway.
Anyone want to talk about their spouse nagging them to death?
I didn’t think so.
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. Men who said they faced ‘many’ demands from their partner or family and friends were more than twice as likely to die compared to women in the same category who were 34 per cent more likely to die.
“You know, you’re just hanging out, man, and it just starts coming – you know, you try to avoid it as much as you can, but you can’t forever,” said Celliti’s boyfriend, Terry Garcetti.
And Garcetti and Cellitti are not even married yet.
Researchers from the study concluded that “men were especially vulnerable to frequent worries/demands from their partner, contradicting earlier findings suggesting that women were more vulnerable.”
The reason given was that men, unlike women, do not share their problems with close friends or family.
“I’m still going to nag him,” said Barb Grossetti as her husband stood next to her, “but I’ll stop short of killing him.”
The study followed nearly 10,000 Danish men and women between the ages of 36 and 52.
Avalon doesn’t have to nag anymore, Admin’s been hen-pecked into submission long ago….

I can’t understand why you’re not still married.
Yuck, Yuck
You can either be married or happy, but never both

Admin,
5 months to remodel the downstairs bathroom, I still cannot believe she didn’t kill me in my sleep and finish the job with the insurance money. The good thing is my ears are not attenuated to the sound of nagging, so I don’t even hear it, even as it happens. A certain level of deafness can be good for the marriage, just ask my dad, married 59 soon to be 60 years.
Bob.
Funny coincidence … on another thread bb was just asking me what I’ll do someday when I wake up old and alone. (Like I really care what happens to me when I’m that old.)
Maybe I should trot out the old Ann Landers quote, “It’s better to be alone than wish you were.”
And when the “nagging” is countered with passive-aggressive behavior the wife and mother – who can’t win for losing but somehow always feels guilty – walks.
My mom has nagged my dad for 60 years now, and vice-versa, and they’re going strong.
I was married. She nagged a lot. Got rid of her.
Every 6 months or so Ms Freud gets the nag-bug. I let it last about an hour.
Know why many married men die first? Cause they want to!
What’s the difference between your job and marriage? After a year your job still sucks.
It is not that the act of nagging itself causes men to die, it is the GUILT and SHAME that they feel for not doing what they were supposed to have done in the first freaking place.
See?
Early death among men can be prevented ENTIRELY if they would just do what we women say they should be doing, do it immediately and do it to our exacting standards.
Then all nagging can be eliminated and peace and harmony will ensue.
Any questions?
Ladies, if a man says he will fix it, he will.
There’s no need to remind him every six months about it.
nagging just like 2yo’s tantrums perpetuate because it is acknowledged and allowed.

the nagging and passive aggressive bs that so many women do will continue as long as there are beta-males with shriveled balls willing to appease them. Obnoxious tw-unts need to be reminded of what they are on a regular basis.

The quickest way to get me not do something, or do it entirely incorrectly, is to nag.
Wife;
Monday: Honey my car needs fixing!
Tuesday AM: Honey my cars needs fixing!
Tuesday PM: Honey My Car NEEDS FIXING!
Wednesday AM: FIX THE DAMN CAR!!
Wednesday PM: FIX THAT POS YOU BOUGHT ME NOW!!
Two weeks later.
Hubby: Honey, I fixed your car.
Wife: What was wrong with it?
Hubby: Dunno. I totaled it.

Pirate Jo is so right- it is SO much better to be alone than to wish you were alone.
I love living alone. I have a boyfriend, but we are careful not to get into each other’s faces. I set boundaries – don’t criticize my innocent behaviors and I won’t criticize yours.
I have been the nagged one in other relationships, and discovered I have a very low tolerance for guys who turn everything i do into grist for an argument. Had one guy once, who literally picked at my every action, whether it was setting a beverage down the wrong way, or how I ignored a child while talking to her mother, or what I was eating, or whatever it was. I got so I didn’t want to tell him any of my doings or plans, and finally had to bolt.
The world is made up of two categories of people- people who are looking for someone to love, and those who are looking for a sparring partner.
Later….
Wife
Mon: Honey I need another car.
Tues: I need a new car.
Weds: Look cars are on sale at the Ford dealer.
Thurs: Look at that cute car for sale!
Fri: My friend Jane just got a new car.
Sat: The neighbors got a new car and are selling the old one.
Months pass with more of the same….
Wife: Are you going to get me another car?
Husband: We cant afford the insurance.
Wife: If you would have not have totaled the other one we could afford one.
Husband: I was on the way to the repair shop. Its all your fault for nagging me.
Problem solved.

I’m in the same situation as Chicago. I live alone, and my boyfriend has his own house, too. We’ve been together for nearly eight years. I am delighted to see him when he shows up on Friday evenings and stays the weekend. We tend to take turns cooking things and cleaning the kitchen. Whoever is standing next to the dishwasher when it needs to be unloaded and feels like putting away the dishes, just does it. We don’t keep score. There is no nagging.
The rest of the time I have the place to myself and like it that way. Well, there’s the sweet little old pug lady, my 7:00 alarm clock who wants her breakfast, but she’s soft and squishy and cute so I don’t mind.
My boyfriend is struggling at the moment with how to deal with his roommate. The guy has been his friend since high school, and is someone we both like – he’s actually the one who introduced us. I can understand wanting to preserve the friendship. But he moved in with Sweety four years ago, in what was supposed to be a six months to a year deal, at most. He hasn’t even paid rent in the last year. He bought a fixer-upper house but only works minimal hours for low pay and has been very slow about getting the work done on it. It’s always someone else’s fault, the electrician didn’t get the work done soon enough, the inspector didn’t get there in time, blah blah blah. Basically he either needs to get a second job or a better job and commit himself to making the money needed to get that house finished. Sweety desperately wants him to move out – he wants the second bedroom for his office space, and to have his garage back, and to not have to share a bathroom anymore. Besides roommate is a grown-assed man and it’s time to act like it.
At any rate, when Sweety gets his place back to himself, I wouldn’t blame him if he just hibernated there for a whole year and didn’t come out. He’s as much an introvert as I am. I don’t know if we will ever get married, but if it did, I can’t imagine it happening less than a decade away. We’ll probably be pretty set in our ways by then. Maybe it would be best not to mess up a situation that has been working very well for a long time already.
Single and loving it. BC-LR to all
It is pretty well documented that long term stress is deadly.
Being nagged, or nitpicked, or judged, daily, is highly stressful.
And it is not exclusive to men.
This marriage aged the hell out of my face. The continuous increased cortisol packed pounds on my middle, encouraged bad behaviors (like carb eating and massive amounts of coffee), and by all measures is working to subtract a few years from my life.
Tick tock.
Life is too short for this shit. I’ve learned to just tune out, keep busy in different parts of the house, and avoid anything that would set off his judgement.
And exercise. Lots and lots of exercise.

Women live years longer than men. It is no accident. I have long suspected women nag men to death in order to eventually take over the world via attrition.

We’ve often commented on the correlation between the mass shootings and anti-depressant use. Check out this new report
Medication Madness: The Dark Side of Anti-Depressants
Monday, May 12, 2014
Far too often we hear news of a deadly attack at a school, mall or military base — violent crimes committed by those we least suspect.
Many of those violent outbreaks have involved guns. Sometimes, however, there’s another common thread: anti-depressants.
Anti-depressants are some of the most widely prescribed drugs in America. Millions of doctors and their patients appear to like these drugs, but there is a darker side.
Medication Madness
For decades, psychiatrist Peter Breggin has studied the link between anti-depressants and violent crimes.
“The anti-depressants cause violence and they cause suicide, and they do it in all age groups. We have studies in all age groups. There’s just no doubt about it,” Dr. Breggin said.
Anti-depressants work on the brain, thereby altering the way their users think.
“These drugs are causing agitation, anxiety, insomnia, hostility, aggression, mania,” Dr.Breggin said. “In addition to driving the person with this amphetamine-like effect, the anti-depressants do a bit of a lobotomy. You lose your empathy. You lose your caring.”
In his book, “Medication Madness,” Dr. Breggin cites examples of violence that he says can be blamed on anti-depressant use.
“An engineer who was given Paxil probably to help stop smoking, maybe for some tension, certainly not for any mental disorder,” he described. “And within a couple of doses he drowned his two children and himself in a tub.”
Dr. Breggin said that when it comes to emotional problems, counseling is a better treatment than anti-depressants.
Responsible Consumption
But not all doctors view anti-depressants so harshly.

If a woman nags her husband, it’s probably because he hasn’t done a good enough job of teaching her to have really low expectations.
Marriage has taught me what happiness is, and now it is too late.
Murder and marriage: One’s a quick death; the other is sure.
T4C – best part of living alone would be not having to put the seat down.

“I think. Therefore, I’m single.
My friend has the best of both worlds. Married for 3rd time in middle age, she and her husband have never gotten around to combining their households. He lives at his place and she lives at hers and they get together frequently. Everybody is blissfully happy.
@ Gayle, who said, “she and her husband have never gotten around to combining their households. He lives at his place and she lives at hers”
That’s not a marriage, it’s an arrangement. Sorry for my Lawrence Welk viewpoint, but that’s some fucked up shit.
A nag is just a bitch your married to on your way to a real wife.
Don’t marry a black woman or a Latina. They are all bitches, except the Sexy Mulatta.
Why do you suppose black dudes and Hispanics prefer whit girls? Not cause they are any better but you can guilt trip them: Oh, go ahead and oppress me, bitch, whitey been doing that to us forever.
Disclaimer: no white women were harmed in the posting of this comment. ( I hope).
I’ve never had a wife/gf that was a nag. Really. My ex-wife was the silent type who collected grudges and sand dollar shells. Now my mother on the other hand would have won the gold medal for nagging if there were an Olympic competition. In that regard, I learned two things that have stayed with me my entire life:
1) A talent for spacing out.
2) A tendency to lie about shit that is of no importance anyway, to avoid the bullshit that would occur were I to admit the truth.
I consider the above to be vices and nothing to brag about, but wtf, it’s me.
Thanks mom.
I think the pastor had a special allowance for not having to answer truthfully when folks would abuse their privilege of asking questions.
Prof Pangloss said if he wasn’t in agreement, he would make an effort to mess up the test, quiz or survey.
@SSS,
You *should* be sorry for your Lawrence Welk viewpoint. What is the difference between “marriage” and “an arrangement” anyway? Besides, Lawrence Welk was gay. Why not compare apples to oranges, for godssake?
About the perpetual marital war over putting down the toilet seat……. whenever you enter a civilized household, PLEEEEEEASE put down both the seat and the lid after you are finished, and help avoid plumbing problems due to to things being knocked into the thing that cause clogging later on.
I have to train every guest who stays at my house to do this. Why didn’t their mothers teach them the way mine taught me?
Chicago – that is loony tunes. I have never knocked anything into a toilet, not in 57 years. OCD much?
I luvz ya anyway.
Nasty, feral bitch..

re the toilet seat:
She leaves it down for me, I leave it up for her. Works out pretty well. I can’t ever recall having a discussion about it in 26 years of marriage.
I’m probably more of a nag than she is in general and she’s pretty good at tuning me out.
Isn`t this a great site?
No, no no, when you women are done you should put the seat/lid up so I dont have to touch the thing you women didnt clean after using it.
I was thinking about creating a toilet seat that automatically raises when a guys voice leaves the WC and lowers the seat when it senses a nagging sound approaching…
8^P
When you leave the toilet lid up, you are atomizing the particles and spewing them all over the bathroom.
Why this DISGUSTING thing continues to be debated is beyond me, close the damn lid and keep the cooties better contained.
We are taught not to sneeze all over each other, but then flush the toilet and spew our shit upon our loved ones toothbrushes, hairbrushes and bathroom fixtures.
Yuck.
As for my house, I just keep my toothbrush in a drawer and everytime I pass a bathroom stop in to shut the lid. Just to piss him off.
At least his ass doesn’t fall into cold water at 3 a.m., I’m still trying to figure out how to accomplish that without committing a felony (by adding too much magnesium to his food), then making sure the seat is left in the upright position ALL the time.
I can dream.
“Isn`t this a great site?”

Yep. Great conversation about toilet seats to ease the tension of thinking about really big problems. Plus I managed to tick off Pirate Jo, which I believe is a first for me.
KB,
This should solve any problems.

FLIPPER, hands-free toilet seat lifter, is here to save relationships across the globe.

The principle of FLIPPER is extremely simple and straightforward. People do not want to touch unhygienic things such as waste can lids and toilet seats.

Especially, FLIPPER is an excellent product for toddlers, senior citizens, and the handicapped. FLIPPER is the most reliable and least expensive toilet seat lifter in the market. – Save your marriage! – The toilet seat is always lowered. – Never touch the toilet seat for the rest of your life. – 10 minutes to install – Anti-bacterial plastic For more information, please type “FLIPPER toilet seat lifter” on Youtube for one minute commercial video.http://www.ebay.com

@SSS,
When I was a kid, Lawrence Welk was always on before Wonder Woman, so I always caught the last five minutes of it.
Gloria Steinem’s arms and neck …….. soooo sexy.
TE is 100% correct regarding leaving the toilet seat up …. “atomizing the particles and spewing them all over the bathroom.”. You lazy shits, put the fuckin’ seat down!!
I have finally put all the clues together, and have come up with the only possible conclusion:
Stucky is actually a woman (the final clue was her shrill voice screaming for all us males to “put the fuckin’ seat down”).
Combining this with everything we know about Stucky, I did a search and finally found an actual photo of Stuck (I mean, how many 6’8″ women are there out there? It wasn’t that difficult to find her photo.).
This is her with Mr Stuck aka Mr Freud. How I did not catch this before is beyond me, as all the clues were there.

Ilpoh, you never had my boyfriend.
I have never knocked anything into the toilet, but my plumber discovered that one or another of my houseguests DID… a certain houseguest who cannot be trained to close the thing up.
Will you guys pick a side and stick to it? Didn’t Hippy Dippy say he used to swim in a river full of shit and that it enhanced his immune system?
You pussies faint at floating debris in the toilet yet you would give V Stiviano a tongue bath if she went 3 days without a shower paying close attention to her slimy privates. Unless you are, uh, gay…
KB has the best idea and we should look into seed money, any VC out there?
