I feel the article mixes some good advice, such as communicate about conflicts and your feelings directly, with outright sexism, such as when the article says, "The female brain is driven by hormones -- women think with their emotions. Maybe it all makes sense to them, but their irrational behavior just leaves men frustrated, bewildered and annoyed."

I wouldn't mind if a boyfriend got some advice from such a source...as long as he didn't believe everything in the article or use some of the advice!

About nagging: I have known a wife who nagged her husband a lot. She focused on the little things that annoyed her without dealing with the real source of frustration (deeper relationship issues). Too much nagging can make anyone feel unloved. So, if someone is nagging you/putting you down, I agree that it's best to say feel bad when you get nagged, and ask what the deeper frustration or fear is. The couple eventually divorced.
