Feeling a neglected spouse

A nice and cheery survey today from goo Ranking, looking at when spouses feel their other half is neglacting them, for both neglected wives and neglected husbands.

Demographics

Over the 19th and 20th of April 2012 1,092 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 60.5% of the sample were female, 11.3% in their teens, 17.0% in their twenties, 28.4% in their thirties, 25.5% in their forties, 10.2% in their fifties, and 7.7% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample. I?m not sure how unmarried people were supposed to answer this one, if at all.

I?m only guilty of number seven, although my excuse is just having a poor memory for everything!

There?s a bit of a difference between the sexes regarding not wanting to sleep together! Top for the men, but just 12th for the women?
