Understand your partner
When in a relationship, you need to know what makes your partner tick and what makes her happy so you can relate better.
Let her cool off
At times, it’s best to just let her cool off steam before reacting.
When women nag, they expect an immediate response from their partner but if you just stay cool and don’t react at once, she’ll wonder why and probably either reduce it or stop completely.
Reacting to her at that time might lead to further quarrels but simply ignoring her would make her calm down.

When women nag, they sometimes complain about something or are not happy about something.
Try being in a cheerful mood even though you feel angered by her outburst.
Call her pet names.
You can turn around her nags to jokes or teases; this might place her in a lighter mood.
