Complaints you want to say to your partner but you can’t !

Partner applies to girlfriends, boyfriends, husband, wife, etc. Basically, this recent survey from goo Ranking via “What Japan thinks” asks What things you want to say to your partner, but you basically can´t. The survey was for both sex,  men to women and women to men.

Demographics

Between the 21st and 25th of May 2009 1,082 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 51.4% of the sample were male, 7.3% were in their teens, 16.0% in their twenties, 28.1% in their thirties, 27.9% in their forties, 10.8% in their fifties, and 9.9% 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.

Many of the complaints are really silly in my opinion and I dont see the reason why We should not complain anyway.
