Gabrielle Union: 'I obsess on details'

Gabrielle Union has claimed that you "can't sweat the small stuff" in relationships.

The actress, who was married to former NFL player Chris Howard, has revealed that she's learned many lessons from her failed marriage.

Speaking to Honey, the 37-year-old said: "You can’t sweat the small stuff. I spent so much of my marriage upset. Things like the toilet seat being up or down shouldn't define your day. You put so much on every little thing. You look at your parents like they were infallible and perfect and you realise now that they made a lot of mistakes and they’re just people. I’m giving the men in my life the same consideration. They’re just human."

When asked what she didn't like about herself, Union added: "I tend to procrastinate. I obsess over things I have no control over. I’m judgemental at times. That’s kind of it.

"There aren’t too many things I don’t like about myself. What I don’t like I try to change. I don’t return e-mails and I hate talking on the phone. I text. I make my mother and father text. We’re not allowed phones that ring on the set so when I’m here I text."
