Three in ten adults who are in a relationship admit they get the “ick” –from how messy their partner is, a study has found.
A poll of 2,000 adults found that almost a quarter (23%) admit their partner's lack of tidiness has put a strain on the relationship – with 47% having weekly arguments about the clutter in their home.
And one in six have even considered ending a relationship due to their other half's messiness – with dirty plates stacked up, and piles of random items lying around, among the most common types of clutter to cause an argument.
