In the caption of her Instagram post titled '14 signs a relationship isn't right, even if nothing is wrong', Carleigh wrote, “Does something just feel off? There doesn’t need to be some huge conflict for a relationship to not be right. If some of these are resonating, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s over! Nothing on here is ever one size fits all. If you both want the relationship to work and are willing to work on it, communication is the first step.”
