Spouses stressing out Japanese

From AFP:
TOKYO (AFP) - Home is not sweet for the vast majority of Japanese couples, who feel exhausted and believe inconsiderate spouses are to blame, a survey has said.

Seventy-six percent of married people in Japan's three biggest areas -- Tokyo, Osaka and Aichi prefectures -- feel tired at home, according to the online poll conducted by Tokyo-based Soy Peptide Health Forum in May.

Sixty-three percent of those who complain of fatigue say their spouses cause stress against 37 percent who do not think so, according to the survey, which drew responses from 1,312 married people in their 30s and 40s.
Married men don't live longer, it just seems that way.
