Has mental health ever been the cause of a relationship falling apart?

Has there ever been a time where your mental health caused a rift in a relationship? Maybe it was a partner, or a close friend. Or maybe it's the other way around and your partner or friend caused the rift. Did the relationship fall apart or were you able to save it? I thankfully haven't had a relationship end because of mine or their mental health. But what about you? Or maybe someone you know?

Yes, I’ve seen mental health affect relationships. I’ve noticed that untreated stress, anxiety, or depression can create misunderstandings, emotional distance, and communication breakdowns, making it harder for both partners to connect and support each other effectively.
