^ Was she walking past and told you to delete that?
Mine could nag for Thailand if they had an Olympic sport in it. My solution is to have boots wax earplugs in most of the time and pretend my hearing is a lot worse than it is. She has even nagged before about me cutting the grass, wrong time of day, cleaning the car, what for, and paying the bills early.
My wife doesn't nag me at all. If anything, I nag her because her English is so atrocious and she's incapable of remembering the simplest things about it...like verbs, tenses, putting "s" after plural words, or inverting subject and verb in a sentence when asking a question. Even after living here in Oz for 5 years and studying English 3 days a week for the first 2 years.
She reminds me of how a Buddhist monk once described Thai women to me : "lovely people, but not much upstairs. But really....the nicest women you could meet !". The thing is though, she does have some brains....just not for language.
Nagging and whinging, from your beloved, should be the least of one's concern.
Farang very special - the ultimate special spouse, without faults or blemishes.
^Has anyone in the history of the internet ever said so much without saying anything?.
FOJ.
10-11 months without the presence of said Thai better half can only be a plus.
Nagging is communication, it's usually something you/they were to do, but have not, hence is considered a blemish on your/their performance. Try to remember all the times what you/they thought you both had agreed as a plan of action but it, for whatever reason, wasn't completed, eh?
Important stuff write it down, in a diary, as a saved memo on your "device". Check your to-do list daily and you'll be surprised that the "nagging" decreases. Suggest, politely, your partner does similar. Make a spreadsheet, agree green stars for completion as agreed, yellow stars awaiting completion, red stars when way, way overdue. Compare on a weekly/monthly interval. Whoever gets the most greens decides where the restaurant meal is to be and the other half pays. Turn it into a positive competition. Once both over the weight red line change the reward to spa visits.
Nagging is far better than silence or being ignored.

Green stars are acceptable to me. Public announcements only twist the knife deeper into the less able. Leading, in some cases, to financial/emotional ruin.
Your welcome.
A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.
It's refreshing to see you actually posting something as a real person, jeff.
Would you care to expand?
It could be argued by a harsher critic than myself that your comment doesn't make any sense, or at least is completely disconnected from anything, which amounts to pretty much the same thing.
It's amazing what they believe.
I remember phoning my wife's workplace and the girl said she'd met her husband and gone home.
I was only calling to remind her I had the keys and to wake me up when she gets home (from the staff dinner night) later.
At that point I'd suspected already what her little big mind was up to.
Me and my Jamaican neighbour used to roar with laughter, man.

Oh well.
I tried.
We're back to poorly remembered phrases and meaninglessness.
On the other hand.....
The boorishly splendid Farang husband.
Perfectly legitimate.
While you're pissing in her sink in your wife-beater?
