When couples don't communicate openly, honestly, and respectfully, misunderstandings and conflicts can escalate, leading to a breakdown in the relationship.

Trust is the foundation of a healthy relationship. When trust is broken due to lies, infidelity, or other breaches of confidence, it can be challenging to rebuild, and the relationship may not survive.

Every relationship comes to a point where one has to bend for the other. If both partners are unable to make some sacrifices for each other, that relationship may not stand the test of time.

Unrealistic expectations about what a relationship should be like can lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction.

It’s not always going to be unicorns and rainbows so it's important for couples to have realistic expectations and work together to meet each other's needs.

Cheating and infidelity can cause immense hurt and trust issues.

While some couples can work through infidelity, others may find it irreparable.

However, things begin to crumble apart the moment reality sets in.

Sometimes, external influences such as meddling family members or friends can negatively impact a relationship, especially if they contribute to conflicts or division between partners.

It's important to note that every relationship is unique, and the reasons for its success or failure can vary.

Additionally, some relationships may not be meant to last, as individuals may outgrow them or find themselves incompatible over time.
