I suspect that a lot of what is called nagging is really about timing.

Consider this. You and hubby are driving in the country. You realise he needs to make a right turn shortly. So you say “Right turn at the next street”. Now let’s say he knew this and was just about to take his foot off the gas. Had you waited for another second, you would have realised he knew he needed to turn. It’s a silly example, but what if it happened over and over? What if you were forever telling him where to go one or two seconds before he showed by his actions he knew where to go? 

Now apply the same thinking to whatever it is he says you nag him about. How much of it would get done without you saying a word if you were a bit slower to “remind him”?

There’s only one way to find out!
