The old English statement "She Doth Protest too much" can be loosely translated into "She complains too much." Another way this could be said is "She spends a little more time complaining than I'd like" or "She's always whining."

The quote "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" is from Shakespeare's play Hamlet. It is spoken by Queen Gertrude in Act 3, Scene 2.
Queen Gertrude
it means that the lady is arguing to much
This is a misquotation of Gertude's line in Hamlet, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." She is watching a play in which a woman swears up and down she will never remarry and does so immediately on her husband's death. The line is ironic since Gertrude herself did exactly what the woman in the play did. The line has come to be quoted (or as often or not, misquoted) to describe someone who is a little too insistent, and so is not believable.
