Fighting when you’re in a long term relationship is so different than when you’re just starting out. That’s never more evident than in VH1’s Couples Therapy with Dr. Jenn. A new season of explosive celebrity drama returns Wednesdays in October on VH1.
Finding your soul mate and settling together into cohabitational bliss is a comfort and also sometimes a curse. You're in for the long haul, so you feel solid in the relationship, but there are bumps, leaving you wondering if it's time to hit up couple's therapy. I've been married for years, and after all that time, you learn a few things — like the proper stages of a good fight. And sometimes it isn't anything that actually justifies an argument, like coming home to a fully loaded (and dirty) dishwasher after asking your significant other to take care of it 800 times.
Sometimes it's fake crying, but tears are a must. And if you're really upset, a good cry makes it all better. But try to avoid letting your significant other console you too much — you are still fighting.
You're probably over it by now, but there's nothing wrong with some alone time to "think about things" also known as sleeping in, going to bed early, or reading a book in bed — alone.
Then it's time to kiss and make up, which is really the best part of fighting. And sometimes it's the reason for the argument in the first place. All is forgiven — it's like nothing ever happened.
Addictive and explosive, the new season of Couples Therapy with Dr. Jenn won't disappoint. Check out the trailer above and watch the premiere on Wednesday, Oct. 7, at 10 p.m. EST only on VH1!
