    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. You feel like you've known each other from a previous life but you've only just met. Related reading:Is Your Midlife Crisis Destroying your Marriage?

    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.'

      Love was kinda grand at the beginning then the fights and verbal assaults began. It usually starts with one person having to be the winner in an argument and escalates eventually into the other not being willing to give in anymore. The walking away begins, then come the rude eyeball rolls and increasingly sarcastic retorts. In healthy unions, couples don't sweat the small stuff, and the most aggravating situations are typically met with a grin and a "we-can-work-it-out" attitude.
