1 in 3 say their partner acts like a baby when sick

One-third of couples say their partner is a baby when they’re sick. That’s according to a new survey of 2,000 Americans, which included 951 who live with a partner. Those who live with a partner also described them as stubborn (25%) and dramatic (23%) when they're sick — while 22% said their partner refuses to admit they’re sick. Despite the refusal to admit when they’re feeling under the weather, the results did find that overall, Americans surveyed only feel 100% fit and healthy for just 16 days of the average winter month. Conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Zipfizz, the survey looked to see the common ailments dragging us down in the colder months. The number one telltale sign cited by participants was lack of energy (58%), followed by the more common symptoms of coughing (42%), sore throat (40%) and congestion (38%).
