    Hmmm, a tricky one this. I have learned over my years with Mr DD that just one request for something 'householdy' to be done is classified as a nag and I moan about him only to friends. Is it him you are moaning about or other things which are not him-related? DD

    Well it's him,he was making a cuppa and brought me a biscuit in which I ate the tea followed 10 mins later ! But if I make a cuppa I don't bring the biscuits in till the teas ready,common sense really.So I nagged he said I was moaning. Mig

    Mig..you are neither nagging or moaning, just advising him how things should be done... :D

    You have to advise him mig without him knowing it(man phsycology) and then he will do it perfectly and not accuse you of nagging,moaning , unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world :lol: xx

    Nagging is repeatedly asking for something to be done when once politely should have been enough. Moaning is just expressing frustration or some sort of pain.

    But, you could be moaning at the same time you are nagging for the umpteenth time about something that should have been done when first asked, ie expressing your frustration at having to nag. Clearly then, moaning can be the result of nagging :D .

    I nagged Mr SW again today about trying to wash up without submerging the entire kitchen. Later he moaned that he'd had me on Ebay for 6 months without a single offer :wink: o

    Is it a matter of not being able to carry too many things? Mind you it means he's probably having a good old munch whilst you're in the other room. :wink: DD

    you are doing neither or both depends on which way he feels at the time my OH always says oh I cant do or carry 2 things at once so maybe DD is right. I think most husbands/partners are the same. ha ha :)
    Stay positive always👍xx

    Nagging is when you want something done and moaning takes place when they have finally attempted the thing you nagged about in the first place because it is never good enough.
