Most therapists agree that the breakdown of relationships can often be ascribed to a lot of little things rather than one major issue. People that do not communicate with each other crop up a lot of small irritations and when they eventually burst out, they see it as a massive problem that cannot be solved. Therapists can help people to communicate effectively and to sort out small, insignificant problems before they become big ones.

Therapists sometimes advise their patients to end a relationship immediately. If one partner abuses the other, or use alcohol and drugs excessively then the other partner may be in danger.
