Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

My wife always talks my ears off.

My wife is always nagging at me.

My wife pushes me to the limit by nagging at me.

I have had enough of my wife's nagging.

I'm fed up with my wife's nagging.

Now ok - but I wouldn't take 1 to necessarily be nagging. Talking a lot is not the same thing.

Thanks, Nona, for the corrections.

What does the first one mean to you?

She talks a lot. It might be nice. Nagging is complaining/moaning/keep issuing orders repeatedly.

My son talks my ears off but I like it :-)

Another UK idiom for talks a lot is 'talks the hind-leg off a donkey' Again, not connected to nagging.
