There is a very simple way to not be nagged, just do the task your partner has asked of you, if you can't, give some reason why you can't instead of saying, "yeah, yeah, I'll do it"
I personally don't like to nag anyone, but it seems to be a necessary evil.
Or are you all just so scatter brained and retarded that it actually requires us asking 5 bazillion times about something?
Does it tickle you to see us fussing?

My wife never nags me...I do it immediately if she needs something. If anything I nag her. She is quite forgetful and will not do something unless I write it down and tape it to her cell phone or keys. And if I nag her it is usually in a joking manner.

I'm sure that alot of posters that live in their parents' basement are about to call me Beta, but I do 100% of the yard work, probably 75% of housework, take care of all finances, and half the cooking. But she does work more hours than me and she appreciates it when I do things around the house.

And to answer the question, no I HATE being nagged.

Admittedly I put off doing stuff. I don't like to fold, or hang clothes, or put away some things, or make the bed. I do recognize it should be done, and I'll do it if you remind me (and I'll try to do it otherwise, but I'm a dude and it doesn't come naturally sometimes).

But the bed being made while I'm drinking coffee at 9:15 on a Sunday and in the middle of a show/article is not an emergency, we can do it the next time I get up, or we're about to leave, or whatever. As a comedian once put it, it's like something about an idle male just makes women go batshit crazy.
