Actually I have gotten more mellow. I think having 4 kids helped a little on that one.... I have just learned to pick my battles a LOT more carefully so I am not stressed as bad and therefore not as bitchy. I don't worry so much about things I can't change anymore. lol
And I have NEVER been a nagging wife, I don't like to be nagged so I don't nag... which is why I have been able to hang onto my man for 25 years I guess.
My oldest son was engaged to be married, they had a baby and all of it, lived together and everything. She asked me how to maintain a solid relationship.... I told her she had to do 3 things and only 3 things and she'd be able to keep him...... 1) DO NOT NAG HIM, men hate to be nagged, you can get your point across without nagging.... this one she was insane about just like her damn stupid mamma....... 2) Allow him to have his male friends and do his male bonding, men need their male bonding time just like they do sex.... 3) Don't be OVERLY dependant on him for everything, learn to handle some things yourself and don't make it where you come off helpless, for your sake and his.
You know what she did? She nagged him right out the door and wonders what happened? rotfl
