Grammar

can't be fall apart

I'm in discussion with a friend about the following sentence:

a relationship can't be fall apart just because of one person's fault, both must have done something wrong.

even though english isn't my native language, I spent some time of my childhood in australia and I feel that something's not right with the sentence. I'm suspecting the use of "can't be fall apart" but I'm hopeless in explaining grammars. Would you think this sentence is grammaticaly correct?

  • You are right: it is wrong.
  • fault' is also a little oddly phrased; the punctuation is also off.
