Why Women Nag More Than Men In Relationships - Mhiz Rebecca - 04-08-2018
Some women in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have
given reasons why many of them nag in relationships
than their male counterparts.
Many males assume that women have inclination for
nagging if they want something done for them, an
attitude that annoys or irritates the targeted person.
However, some women, who spoke with the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in separate interviews on
Sunday, said that women were only sensitive, responsive
and vocal by nature.
They gave reasons such as ineffective communication,
lack of understanding, and insensitive attitude of their
partners, among other factors, as some of the causes of
their overt and confrontational attitude.
Mrs Gloria Agbo, a media practitioner said: ”The society
has stereotyped women and labelled them as the ones who
nag more, when there are men that have treated their
partners so rash that it makes them timid, vulnerable or even
aggressive.’’
According to her, a woman nags when she is being
ignored or deprived of her rights.
“When she expects you to do what is your duty in a
relationship, and you don’t do it, despite repeated requests, it
will definitely makes her nag.
“However, I also use nagging to seek attention whenever I
feel neglected or ignored, because every woman needs
attention from her man,” she added.
Miss Halima Sarki, a civil servant said some women nag
when they don’t get what they want despite several
requests, which always elicits emotions like anger,
frustration and the tendency to whine.
“I nag when I repeatedly bring up the same issue severally in
order to get an action done but do not get the response I
want, which gets me angry and frustrated.
“Some women prefer things done their way, without
considering the opinion of the other parties involved, so
nagging is a tactic for them until they get their way.’’
Esther Adeosun, a retired health worker said women nag
more when there is lack of understanding and ineffective
response to the action being communicated.
“When there is communication breach and lack of
understanding definitely the expected action would not occur,
which in most cases tend to make a woman nag, particularly
when it has to do with assisting in house chores.
“I used to nag when my children don’t do the house chores
they are assigned to, expecting me to remind them daily,
which gets me angry,’’ she said.
Adeosun, therefore, stressed the need for good
communication strategy, team work, mutual respect and
understanding to avoid issues that would necessitate
nagging.
Meanwhile, Mr Fidelis Yamai, a psychologist, said
nagging could lead to a breakdown in relationship, cause
a lot of fight or emotional and health problems.
“It is detrimental to the health of the persons involved.
“Both parties may begin to disdain for each other, question
the relationship and make them wary of seeing each other.
“Instead of being happy and looking forward to spending time
together, they begin to avoid each other,” Yamai said.
Yamai, therefore, stressed the need for proper
communication, love, attention, good relationship and
being supportive and taking responsibility as some of the
factors that could reduce nagging in relationships.
