Why women regret their choice of spouse more than men
Almost twice as many women as men wish they had married someone else, says a survey.
More than one in five married women (22 per cent) said that if they could go back in time they would change their husband.
Just 12 per cent of married men, however, admitted picking the wrong wife. Over 35s were asked to name their biggest regrets for the study.
Three in ten told researchers they would like to have gone into a different career while over a third (37 per cent) wished they had saved more money.
The biggest regrets centred on travel, with 53 per cent wishing they had done more globetrotting before settling down.
Paul Whitlock, head of savings at Bradford & Bingley bank, which commissioned the survey of 1,250 men and women, said: "There's no reason why people can't set up their own business, travel more or be prepared for that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that may arise."
