I read about some research this morning that if you are in an unhappy marriage, the chance of a heart attack is increased by 34%.
another study found that unhappily married women were three times more likely to have metabolic syndrome, a collection of symptoms that can lead to heart disease and diabetes.
I can vouch for this research, my Mum was a real bitch to my Dad, and they had a very unhappy marriage. Stayed together for the kids, and then out of habit.
my Dad died of an heart attack when he was 67, and my Mum died a year later of a stroke bought on by diabetes that she didn't know she had until it was too late.
what a waste!
