The relationship is not rotten if two people are troublesome to each other. The relationship is really rotten when two people can’t even tell each other how big a trouble the other one is to him or her. And they often say, “It is for the sake of the other that I have taken so much trouble upon myself.” I say, if you have taken this trouble upon yourself for the sake of that person, why don’t you share this trouble firstly with that person?
But that person won’t be available to share this trouble. He is the trouble.
Are you able to tell the other person that he is a trouble upon you? If you can tell this to the other person, then the relationship is healthy. That is one measure through which you can know the quality of your relationship.
