Survey: Real-Life 'Desperate Housewives' Have Regrets About Husbands

So much for happily ever after. A new survey has found a shockingly large number of blissful brides turn into desperate wives.

If given a chance to do things over, more than half of 3,000 married women polled by Woman's Day magazine and AOL were not sure they would marry their husband again — with more than a third saying they would definitely not pick the same spouse.

In the online survey, which was not scientific, more than three-quarters of women also said they fantasize about a man other than their husband — and 39 percent admitted to constantly flirting.

Three-quarters of the women also admitted keeping secrets from their husbands — like the crushes they have on celebs. On the top of the fantasy list for women who like sexy married stars are actors Will Smith and Ben Affleck. They each received 31 percent of the vote.

Not surprisingly, the survey found that wives are not the only ones whose thoughts and bodies stray to others. Nearly half the women said they suspected their husbands of cheating or caught them in the act.

You can never seem to keep them satisfied, no matter how much shiny stuff you give them

I'm blessed with a wonderful wife.....9 yrs and everything she has had to put up with. I'll happily buy her all the shiny stuff I can afford to make her happy......but it usually comes down to things like foot massages, circus peanuts, and marshmallow peeps

I keep my wife at home in a pumpkin shell... and there I keep her very well.

Somehow I think that just as many men would make another choice also. You have to work at a relationship and keep it interesting.

True that.....its so easy for this generation to just give up at the first sign of tension or the smallest problem.....Love ain't easy, and it definitely takes work on both parts.

Too many people - men or women - have this 'happily-ever-after-' idealistic view of marriage. They think that once married, everything just naturally falls into place.

HA!!

Remember how hard you worked at the relationship BEFORE marrying? Well, my friends, that is merely the down payment. You have to work just as hard, or harder, after marrying in order to keep it alive and well.

I speak from the experience of 27 years, and looking forward to the next 27 (at least)
