The relationship may be full of love at first but things might turn around and love turns from being sweet to sour. Violence may erupt between the two partners and abusive words/act would be the daily dose of the relationship. Sadly this may cause day to day violence hence this damages one's self esteem and he/she becomes emotionally upset.

This act may even result to unfaithfulness between the two whereby one may decide to go against the other person and have a secrete partner without the Knowledge of the other person.

To avoid all this once you notice red flags in your relationship one should take the initiative and approach the other partner and talk things out and try to fix the wrongs or walk out peacefully out of the relationship with the knowledge of your partner.
