What Japanese wish their spouses would quit doing
AdvertisementFollowing up, I suppose, on a recent ranking survey regarding what were the basic dealbreakers for potential spouses, goo Rankings came up with another entertaining survey looking at what husbands’ bad habits wives want to tell them to fix, but just can’t, and vice versa. The survey was conducted between the 28th and 30th of August 2007.
My wife informs me that she has no bad habits that I should ask her to fix (now that’s a bad habit that doesn’t feature on the list!), but my two main bad habits also don’t feature on the list, namely adjusting the lay of the land, as it were, and noxious gas emissions.
I suppose that number 15 for men and 18 for women is shorthand for a lack of rumpy-pumpy.

puzzling . did i read that right? you want them to NOT touch your body ? umm…and you want to Marry them ? obviously NOT to have children then. i think ? that at least requires some form of touching.
I think that means in public or in front of the children. In other words, in a setting that makes it creepy/indecent.
