Do you need inter or waive here?

Verb

Do you need corrosive, turbulent, or vociferous?
Turbulent is the best word here because it means "stormy." It's like the relationship is going through a period of conflict before it calms down.
You can't really calm down from a "corrosive" period in a relationship. Corrosion literally eats away at metal. A corrosive relationship would be permanently toxic. Vociferous doesn't fit because it describes a person's voice and attitude--not a relationship.
