Nurture or Nag?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A common complaint my single guy friends have about dating relationships is that the women tend to take the nurturing thing too far. While they enjoy being cared for, nurtured, fussed over and catered to, there seems to be a distinct line that is often crossed. It happens when she goes from nurturer to nagger.
Apparently, this can happen in warped speed without warning or provocation. One minute she is sprucing up the bachelor pad, the next minute the place has serious changes. Not just any changes, either, total girly ones: window treatments, fancy room scents (actually, don’t fight her on that one, your friends will thank her), and actual cooking utensils!
Guys, what do you think constitutes a nurturing woman and what makes one a nag? Do you think that women should give constructive criticism to the men they date? How do you handle dating a nurturing woman? How do you handle a nagging one?
Ladies, have you ever dated a guy and took your nurturing a bit too far? Did you go from picking out a tie to completely transforming his wardrobe? Was this a good thing or a bad thing? How did the guy respond?
Do you think dating relationships often blur the line between nurture and nag, like you two are an old married couple? How do you handle that?
Happy Monday!
