Can your relationship make you sick?
We all know someone, maybe even ourselves, who stick in shitty relationships for all sorts of weird reasons. They’re miserable, their kids are miserable and yet they stay like they’ve been nailed to the chair. They look awful and they often feel awful.
Two studies conducted recently by the University of Texas and University College in London show that sticking it out in an unhappy relationship can make you sick. The real kind of sick, not the “I’m sick of looking at you!” sick. The illnesses range from general unwell to heart disease and researchers are convinced that the stress at home is what’s doing the dirty to their bodies.
The research concludes that putting up with an unsatisfactory relationship may very well erode your health.
So if you are in an unhappy relationship or marriage, best you start talking out your problems or you risk a dodgy ticker. It turns out that the phrase “broken heart” is as physical as it is emotional.
Hi! That is so sad and so true. I suppose it happens because they hope that things will turn out for the best in the end.
But look at the price they and the children pay, especially the children. The effects of a poor relationship will no doubt make the children think twice about having any long lasting relationship of their own or worse. Replicating their parents plight within their own relationship later on down the track.
It’s also another reason why children start to display behavioural problems at home and at school. Thank you for the good advise.
A warm heart-I think for sure a bad marriage over time will destroy you. On the other hand I think a good marriage will strengthen your heart though eternity. If that make any sense. Thanks good info
