Excerpts:

Does your husband think flowers are a waste of money or coincidentally ‘forget’ his wallet when you go out for a meal?

Chances are you’ve got a stingy spouse on your hands but you’re not alone because according to an extra-marital affairs website, 74 per cent of women think that their partners are too tight-fisted.

…The survey, which quizzed more than 5,000 women, found that a lack of presents, flowers, holidays and trips to fancy restaurants led them to feel as though their partner’s were ungenerous with 56 per cent saying they had had arguments about it.

But, the most shocking part of it all is that a whopping 69 per cent of those questioned revealed that it was their partner’s stinginess that lead them to cheat in the first place. But, why?

According to the majority of women who took part in the survey, giftsaren’t actually about the monetary value at all, it’s all about the meaning behind it, and the feeling of being appreciated.

While 39 per cent said that they resented their partners lack of generosity because they want to be valued, 29 per cent said they saw it as a sign that their husband wasn’t making an effort and no-longer cared about them.
