Psychotherapists such as Edward S. Dean have reported that individuals who nag are often “weak, insecure, and fearful … their nagging disguises a basic feeling of weakness and provides an illusion of power and superiority”. Nagging is sometimes used by spouses of alcoholics as one of several “drinking control efforts”,but it is often unproductive. Psychologically, nagging can act to reinforce behavior.[3] It was found in a study by the University of Florida that the main factors that lead a person to nag are differences in “gender, social distance, and social status and power”. Nagging can be found between both male and female spouses, though usually over different subjects. The husbands’ nagging usually involves them finding “fault with their dinner, with the household bills [and] with the children”, along with them “carry[ing] home the worries of busines.

Question by Squeegy: deep rooted problem?
I’ve got a problem that I’ve tried to deal with for years, and it never seems to get any better. I have such an aversion to all things alcohol related I can’t stand it. I’ve never had it, and don’t really want to. This has ruined relationships, friendships. I just can’t stand to see someone I care about doing it, or talking about it. I physically react to the entire topic..even just talking about it. I don’t know when this started or why. I’ve had people suggest to me that something probably happened to me when I was younger, but I don’t know of anything. Could I be repressing it? I don’t know what to do. I just want to understand it more than anything. When I’m with somebody and object to them doing it, even the response “it’s just a little sip” drives me crazy. What can I do? Has anyone heard of this?
