After being married twice, divorced twice, and involved in numerous other failed relationships, I think I am at the point where I am qualified to offer the worst possible relationship advice imaginable. No doubt about it! If you have a great relationship with your spouse or significant other, I'm sure I could help you sour those warm fuzzy feelings.

Coombs specifically looked at the areas of alcoholism, suicide, morbidity and mortality, mental illness and self reports of happiness."
