In the end, the bad overweighs the good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the relationship deal breakers usually don&rsquo;t do as much harm in the beginning stages of the relationship, they tend to develop over longer spans and cause more damage over extended periods of time.
