It is true, many women could use a good talk on not nagging their husbands (my mom and sisters-in-law for example).

It will take a family therapist, psychologist or sociologist to determine who is harder on selves, but do you necessarily believe men are easier on themselves?
Life is encouraging but challenging, and it can tend to beat down either gender fairly severely.
