Feeling depressed or anxious can be so overwhelming. I want to help you feel better and be able to enjoy life. You are not alone and you deserve emotional support.

no it is not. boundaries are as important as and even more than the attempts to survive the relationship. self care is essential.
That totally epends on you. I have seen many relationships who play this break up-patch up dance regularly. The question is if you both are truly happy with each other or not.
Honestly, it depends on what the past break ups were over. Also, if you find yourself in love with this person after being put through those breaks up. Do you love you back? If the break ups were over something little, then there's no reason to worry. If they make you happy, then keep trying. If it doesn't work out, at least you can say that you tried your best.
Sorry to be harsh, but I don't believe so. If they continuously are hurting you, it doesn't seem like it is worth it. It may hurt in the beginning, especially if you are used to their support in your life. However, you need to consider the long-term and how you might be permanently affected if you continue to have your heart broken. It could lessen your trust in relationships even if a new person is perfect for you. If they keep breaking up with you, then they most likely don't want to have you in a relationship, but they want to keep you in their life. Keep that in mind.

Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes it isn't. If there's a chance it might last and you know you both love each other, then it could be worth it. If they don't love you or love someone else more. Then there isn't.

Sometimes it is better for your wellbeing to move on. As much as it hurts to begin with you're better off withoutn them
It is all up to you. If you doubt it will work, you should trust your own instincts. Nobody from an outside point of view can give you relationship advice.
Every relationship deserves chances. The important thing is how you feel. If you feel love and ready for giving another chance to your relationship then it will always worth it.
Personally I do not think it is worth trying. I think that it is obvious that the other person in the relationship has one foot out the door if not both and uses you as a comfort item. I think that after a 2nd chance a person does not deserve any more chances. Give your a heart a chance to find someone that is all in rather than a person that is halfway out and disconnected. Compare it to a pair of shoes. If shoes are super uncomfortable every time you wear them are you going to keep wearing them or get rid of them. I would let them go and find a new home.
It depends upon if you guys really want to give another chance to the relationship with a thought that you guys will better communicate, understand, trust and respect each other.
Because most of the time reason of break up is either due to a trust, communication, respect or understanding issue.
And, probably you guys go with your guts feeling to know what is better for you.
This all depends on the situation of the breakup. Often times, no. But some instances may be a yes. Its all depending on the personal relationship
It depends on how your relationship was before the breakup. You would have to consider if you really love him and want him/her back into your life.
Sometimes it is just better to walk away than face continual heartache! If it is meant to be they wouldn't have left you in the first place. Some people aren't ready to be in a serious relationship despite their feelings.
i had been in love several times before. i looked at a person and thought “this person is cool, but love feels awfulâ€. i was naive and young. but i kept fighting so hard for a feeling that doesn’t make me feel happy. when i was with my ex boyfriend, i was in a bad place mentally. he would think i was “less fun†because i wouldn’t hang out as much. so he would hang out with other girls and cheat on me. looking back, i fought for that relationship because i thought that was the right thing to do. now, several years later i’m dating someone else. we’ve been together for two years and we always try to understand each other’s point of view. things aren’t always sunshine and rainbows, in fact we took a break in the middle for a month because of our personal mental health issues. but at the end, we BOTH wanted each other. we both realized the value we hold for each other, and we both worked hard to be what we needed for each other and ourselves. it comes down to the person you’re with and how much you love each other. in the first relationship i talked about, we didn’t love each other but we still were together. that caused conflict, betrayal and the relationship went nowhere. but in the second scenario, we ended up being happier than ever after putting in extra work and energy to understand each other’s needs. don’t stay for someone just because you think you have to. stay because you love them, and they love you too. stay because you see yourself with nobody else. stay because they respect and love you. i hope that helps!
Probably not. If they really loved you/ wanted to be with you they would've never broke up with you in the first place. Don't waste your time on someone that doesn't want youâ¤
Breaking up is hard process but when the same person is breaking up with you and you going back to the same thing, i think and own experience has taught me that you have to take moment and say is this worthed cause your heart gets broken by the same person and you not able to let go. It will make you depressed and feeling you have done something wrong.
No, it's really not. You're wasting your time, this person is clearly messing you around, being indecisive and that's really not fair on you! Think bout your mental health and well being. You don't deserve to be left in a constant loop of uncertainty. It's not a healthy relationship if you're constantly breaking up. It's normal to have arguments now and again but to break up several times is a red flag.
You deserve to be in a stable relationship were you are able to talk to each other about any problems you may have and work it out together.
I don't think so. You don't need to spend your time on a person who doesn't appreciate you as much as you appreciate them. If someone is leaving and starting the relationship, again and again, they probably have some unresolved issues on their own. You definitely deserve someone who is 100% sure about you and will treat you the way you deserve. Try asking the person for the reason of their doing and maybe you will also get an explanation or the closure you deserve.
From my own experience, my ex-boyfriend was doing this to me and it was really hard to walk away from him, but when I finally did, my friends were there to help me and after I moved on, I realized that there is no reason for anyone to stay in a relationship that makes them cry or just not feel good about themselves.
I think that this varies on a person to person basis! I would say the amount of distress you feel is more important than the act itself. If you don't mind a relationship that is only present when it seems healthy, and prefer breaking up when it's not so you can each work on yourself, then it's valid to have that preference. The most important thing in determining if a relationship is healthy is communication and boundaries- if you feel strongly betrayed or hurt by your seperation, and fear it happening again in without respect for boundaries or clear communication, I would say no. But if you have a firm foundation to your relationship, can be honest with each other, and work together as a team, it may be worth trying. The most important thing is to be able to trust each other, and to have a goal of happiness and healthy behavior.

If that person broke up with you several times, it really means they don't have any interest in getting back with you. You shouldn't be chasing after them again and again after-all, they don't want to be in a relationship anymore so why spend precious time of your life chasing after them for something that isn't going to happen.

it is good to give our loved ones 2 or 3 chances because they deserve this. but giving them more than that is like allowing them to commit mistake again and again. we need some sort of restrictions and control to be on the right path, if we get all the freedom there is a great chance that we will go or let them go on the wrong path...
like a lot of love and care along with fulfilling all the needs and demands of a child in spite of right or wrong.. we end up spoiling the child..
we should only allow for the goods and stop the bad so we should not overdo anything ..
we are humans and we commit mistakes but repeating the mistake is not a good thing..

No dude, several times, I'm assuming 3-4 times. He might be playing with your emotions. Please stay away from such people, and try to work more on yourself. Instead of wasting time on him, try to focus on your ownself. It won't be easy, but will work eventually. If you think that he's the only one, then please realise that this world have about 7 billion population, you would get some or the other person. And that person would treat you right. Stay happy, don't give anyone power to mess with your mental peace. You are special and you deserve someone special.

It depends on what you feel. Do you love this person? Or were you dating just to date? Do you believe there is a possible future?

It’s definitely worth trying if he or she puts the same effort into the relationship. But if there is not communication or effort into making it work you come to realization that there are plenty on people out there with very good intentions and kind hearts. Relationships aren’t meant to be on and off. When you truly love or want to be with someone you take the time to understand the problem or situation you’re currently facing. We have plenty of time in the world to continue meeting people. Mean while enjoy the beautiful world you’re living in soon you’ll see how valuable you are. Stay happy and enjoy your wonderful life!

Honestly no, i don’t think so because once is worth another go because people can change, thrive in a relationship again but if they break up again with you multiple times you deserve better and it’s clearly not working to the best of what you both deserve. Due to the fact if they do break up with you multiple times there’s something missing in both of your parts of the relationship. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that you will always be broken up with because that’s not true, you just need to find the one person who will not break up with you

I personally feel like it is a bit risky to try again after so many break ups. If you do decide to rejoin in a relationship with someone who you have been on and off with, you both need to know what exactly you want out of the relationship, and have that clear communication so that your hearts don't get hurt again. Do you both want a long lasting relationship? Those are the sorts of questions to ask. Depending on their answer, that will help guide you to knowing whether this is the right relationship to be in for you.
If they keep stringing you along and breaking up over and getting back together, there's clearly something that isn't working and it may be time to reconsider your relationship. You should be that persons priority and if they keep breaking up it shows that the relationship isn't healthy at this point in time. It's hard when you love someone, but it's about what is going to be better for the both of you in the long run, breakups hurt but being in an unhealthy relationship can be a lot more damaging mentally over a long period of time
In the end, that is solely your decision. However, based on my experience, on and off relationships are often toxic and don't have happy endings for both partners. I was in a couple unhealthy relationships where it was on and off. In the end, it drained me of my energy and took away my sense of self. The more I stayed attached to my ex-partner, the more sense of self and independence I lost. While my experience isn't the same as yours, I highly recommend moving on. It may hurt for a while, but in the long-term you will be happier.

I do not think it would be worth it if they broke up with you more than once. They clearly are not worth staying with if they keep hurting you. If they really want you, then they wouldn't put themselves in a position to lose you. I had a girl that I was in love with, once, and she broke up with me twice. I still waited for her, and she ended up putting me on the shelf and telling me to wait for her, while she went off with someone else and left me to watch. I have gotten over her, and if your situation is anything like mine, then the person isn't worth it. There's plenty of people who will be able to give you what you need and deserve.
