Nagging is a type of bad interpersonal communication in which one person repeatedly pesters or harasses someone to do something. Nagging often happens when someone does not believe in someone else’s ability to do something or ability to do something properly. This can happen in any form of relationship (parent-child relationships often come to mind), including romantic relationships.
Experts Dr Manish Jain, psychiatrist, and Sudha Anantharam, relationship counselor explained how nagging is harmful. Here’s why it k!lls your relationship
1) Constant nagging can make your partner feel insecure.
Nagging partners are usually not satisfied with the relationship. This feeling can make your partner feel as if he/she is not worth it.
2) It can breed bitterness and negativity into a relationship
One partner could feel resentful because they feel the need to nag, while the other could end up feeling incompetent.
3) Excessive nagging can cause anger issues in the partner at the receiving end.
It can arouse feelings of self-loathing, and cause them to lose control.
4) If you nag someone persistently over a period of time, your partner’s perception of you changes.
They view as a source of stress and negativity; they view you as a threat. As a result, they stop responding and slowly drift away.
