    8 Habits of Dysfunctional Couples

    It's truly a mystery as to what brings two very different individuals together. If the tabloids are any indication, it's that dysfunctional couples aren't as sidelined as we make them out to be. In fact, crazy Hollywood couples will readily attest that their relationships are "normal," in spite of passionate fights. Unions are often water tight and there's usually complete inertia against breaking away. It's the "can't live with you, can't live without you" feeling that some of us experience at least once in our life and it stupefies us like an unwelcome ton of bricks.

    Social studies rarely cover the breadth of contentious issues that plague the millions of "normal" dysfunctional relationships out there. Couples in this sort of relationship often exhibit emotional, mental and physical scars that bear testament to their addiction as lovers and the lows that torment the union.

    Couples who don't have this "love you to death" feeling can never fully comprehend the intensity of emotions and the insanely crazy things it can drive you to do. Intense, irrational emotions like these prompt the feelings behind songs like Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie.'

Part of the harmony in living together is being able to be yourself and not have to fear criticism when he watch Korean dramas (because you don't like it), or to have to drink diet soda in the utility room because he'll yell at you for bringing fizzy colas into the house.
