"Hi I'm Patti German and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist here in New York City. In this clip we are going to talk about how to identify the early signs of a disastrous relationship. One of the first indications of a disastrous relationship is fighting and we have to understand what is happening with the fighting, is it criticizing, are you feeling judged, are you feeling controlled, are you feeling put down, all of this is what can lead to a disastrous relationship and it is very very important to understand what is happening to you with the fighting and it is about how you feel about yourself. If parts of you are starting to come out that you don't like this is the first indication that something is in jeopardy and it is time to stop and perhaps seek marriage counseling at that point to see what is underneath the arguing. Again this is Patti German in New York City."
