A wife asks her husband to see what's wrong with something she uses on a regular basis and he doesn't think it's that important, so he puts it off.
She asks him to review some financial paperwork before she sends it off to the accountant and he 'doesn't get around to it.'
She asks for help with something in the yard and something always comes up and the yard work gets ignored.
But the game comes on, and you're there. And everything else gets dropped.
Do you think this has an impact on the relationship? It sends a message...a very strong message. It says, 'the things you ask me to do are menial, unimportant and I couldn't be bothered. They don't compare to the important things I have to deal with.' When I 'get around to it' means that it just doesn't have much priority.
When she reminds you (several times), you say she's "nagging."
If this sounds familiar, you need to pay better attention to the things she's asking you to do, and reevaluate your priorities.
