We can all think of a few things we wish our other half would do more often – and our partners can probably think of a couple of things we should be doing too!
A recent survey by mouldable glue company Sugru has found the top ten things men and women wish their other partner was better at.
Most women told Sugru that they wish their partner was more romantic, tidy and better at fixing things.
Meanwhile, male respondents said they wish their partner was better in bed.Men also said they would like their significant other to be better at managing money, cooking and have a better sense of direction.
‘Everyone probably has something they wish their other half was better at, whether it’s sex or DIY. Nobody’s perfect after all,’ says a spokesperson for Sugru. ‘It’s interesting to see the difference between men and women and what they think their partner could do with improving.
The survey of 2,000 Brits also found that six in ten couples argue after pointing out the areas of the partner’s appearance or personality that they would most like to change – and one in ten said it lead to a serious row. Over a quarter (27%) said that they didn’t speak to their partner afterwards.
Researchers found that 68% of women have something about their partner they would like to change, compared to 59% of male respondents.
