Bad relationships might be bad for your health!

I thought this article was pretty interesting - apparently people who are insecure in their relationships, excessively needy, and worried about rejection are much more likely to suffer from chronic pain and a broad variety of serious illnesses.

That doesn't surprise me. Bad relationships cause a mountain of stress and stress causes poor health. Whenever I've been in a bad relationship I've been more prone to illness than when I am in a healthy place. The crappy relationship I was in prior to the one I am in now lasted for 3 years and it was constant ear infections, colds, bronchitis, and back pain. I have been in my current relationship for 3 years and the only thing I've been to the doctor for was pregnancy

That is logical. An insecure relationship or any bad relationship for that matter can cause a lot of stress and stress-related illnesses. A bad relationship can even kill a person.
