Dr. Terri Orbuch is a therapist, professor at Oakland University, research professor at the Institute for Social Research at University of Michigan, and director of a long-term NIH-funded study. Relationships aren't perfect, and can have more ups and downs than a roller coaster ride. However, healthy relationships require honest communication, mutual respect and good habits from both sides.
It's easy to spend countless hours getting worked up and over-analytical about a Facebook status or picture, or a sudden phone call that interrupts date night, or even looking for faults in why the relationship won't last.
Yes, relationships require work and can be happily successful. But before you lash out at your partner, or find something else to add to the "cons" list, should you possibly be working on your own habits?
Research professor at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, author and therapist, Dr. Terri Orbuch, PhD, shares the most common unhealthy habits that could ruin even the best relationship.
