How to use "Broken-down" in context?
relationships
Often times, when a relationship becomes "broken-down," it appears to be one in which the couple is unable to agree on anything, and communication has become a challenge. This dilemma often arises because one or both partners may be holding onto unrealistic expectations about the relationship and their role within it, which makes it difficult to work together on solving common problems. In some cases, one or both people may have started to push each other away due to an overall feeling of disappointment and withdrawal. In other cases, one or both partners may be struggling with personal issues that are impacting the relationship.
