I'm getting downvoted...I guess people never been in a long term relationship...when you keep nagging and nagging and repeating yourself the person just doesn't want to do but if you leave him alone...he will get it done because nobody is telling him what to do...then he becomes his own boss and decides what needs to be done....my boyfriend and I have an agreement no nagging on things that needs to be done in the house. The other day I was supposed to do the laundry and when he came home it was not done. He didn't get mad at me because he knows that eventually I will do it. And I don't get mad at him when he leaves the house and forget to take garbage out because I know when he comes back he will do it.
