Speaking of power balance in our world, what we say in English when something gets worse than it was does not apply here. We could say “se fue a Ushuaia”, the southernmost city in Argentina, but it’s not something I’ve ever heard.

What we say instead is se pudrió todo, meaning it all rotted. Let me give you some examples:

• Emiliano y Sabrina estaban bien hasta que se fueron a vivir juntos. A partir de ahí se pudrió todo.
• El nuevo gobierno parecía tener todo para una gestión perfecta, pero las decisiones de política económica fueron pésimas. A partir de ahí se pudrió todo.
• Mi hermano y mi mamá nunca se llevaron bien, pero cuando mi vieja se enteró que había dejado la universidad se pudrió todo.

Let your fingers do the talking if you did, and let me know!
