Husband, perhaps, bad for health! (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

other half

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'husband perhaps' is the definition.
'other half' can be an answer for 'husband' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'perhaps' bit.

'bad for health' is the wordplay.
'bad' is an anagram indicator.
'for'+'health'='forhealth'
'forhealth' with letters rearranged gives 'OTHER HALF'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for other half that I've seen before include "Spouse" , "people better off than us?" , "Dutch" , "Wife or hubby" , "partner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
