About This Quote

When you are trying to get back on track, one of your first steps should be to better understand your triggers - the things that upset you the most. If your wife is constantly nagging you about something, it can be difficult to dismiss her as just being “nagging.” She’s doing her job, but she can drive you crazy at times. But it’s not hard to see the pattern here: she wants you to do what she asks so she doesn’t feel like a nag. No nagging, no annoyance, no problems.
