What sort of personality are you?

[Danishfurniturelover]

I have been having massive rows with the missus all day, kind of reminds of when I was with the ex wife.

I have been accused of settling for my lot and having to little ambition. Something I do not agree with because for someone with my lack of education and skills I did all right. Her indoors says that women nag men because it raises men's ambition makes them work harder and achieve more.

Honestly really do not like being married sometimes, it is not like I want to go off shagging other stuff. But just do not see why when we are comfortable we should go off risking our finances chasing something we do not need.

Moving house is easily the most stressful thing I can think off and selling ours before we found another place probably was not my finest moment but Ohh GHod damn it I feel stressed right now.

Tonight is going to end with me drinking lots of Scotch and sending kinky PM's to DHSF.

So ladies help me out, am I right to say that women just nag for the sake of it or do they do it to make us better ourselves?

bless ya.....

my mum and dad split not long after a moving house debacle.... we moved across an estate (walked our belongings a few hundred yards) just because my mum wanted a bigger kitchen and a south facing garden.... we were happy families before that move....overstretching yourself can lead to disaster.

My mrs nags......just got married and moved into a house two years previous....told her I want no more demands from her for at least a year!

Its not just women everyone gets complacent and greedy at times!!!! Nagging really is the pits.....if you suggest to a women she works harder and pulls in more money you should snap shot the look on her face!!!!! sexism when it suits is what I call it! gone are the days when Men could be the main bread winners...times have changed!

stay classy buddy and try not to get to stressed!

A landmark study into the health hazards of an unhappy private life has found a nagging spouse can triple the chances of an early death. Women reported much the same stresses from a demanding spouse - but it was less likely to kill them.

Endless fighting with a spouse can in fact be the death of you, especially if you're out of work, and riskier still if you're a man.A Danish study tracked the work and health patterns of 10,000 men and women aged between 36 and 52 over 10 years.

Study author, Professor Rikke Lund:

RIKKE LUND: I think we're among one of the first studies that has been showing that the stressful parts of our social relations also have these health detrimental effects.

The study found 6 per cent of men and 4 per cent of women went to an early grave. The main cause of death was cancer, followed by heart disease, stroke, liver disease, and suicide. But the researchers say at least half the deaths could have been prevented if the person hadn't also been suffering from the added burden of a hostile marriage, a difficult relationship with their children, and often no way to escape them after a job loss.

RIKKE LUND: Of course not all arguments will end up having this deadly end, but in general if you have these stressful relations, very frequently that will lead to an increased risk of death.
It certainly cuts across the findings of other studies that say all men that are married fare better and live longer and are healthier.

RIKKE LUND: In a general perspective, it seems protective to men especially to be married, but of course if this marriage doesn't work out at all - it's full of worries and demands - well it seems to be perhaps not as protective, which is of course a description of reality.

Were you able to establish that the people that were most susceptible to an early death were perhaps their own worst enemy; that they were combative, they were bringing on conflict?

RIKKE LUND: What we were able to identify were that people outside the labour force seem to be more vulnerable to these kind of stressful relations, as was men who had these worries and demands from their partners. So we sort of identified some especially vulnerable groups among the unemployed and some men.

Good advice: keep it friendly, you'll live longer!
