Yes, my wife and I had this problem early in our marriage. She would immediately start talking at me the minute I walked in the door. It was overwhelming and would seem like nagging. She was actually just venting out her emotions for the day on me. This was her way of connecting with me. I finally told her I couldn't handle it the second I got home as I was still tense and stressed from work. Now we take 30 to 45 minutes to just be with each other quietly without talking about anything stressful. Then we sit down and talk about our days. This has made everything go much more smoothly. She gets to talk about her day, and I'm not stresses out or overwhelmed listening to it.
