We all have been in relationships at one point in time. We all have been in love and have got hurt. We have all had our share of breakups and fights. When we are in a relationship, we don’t realize how and when we change. Sometimes the change is good, and sometimes it’s not. While being in a relationship, we don’t understand how and when we changed. It’s either the family or friends who observe the change.
