It may be "normal" (meaning "commonplace" or "expected") but it isn't necessarily helpful or healthy. If you and your partner have broken up and gotten back together numerous times, it may indicate that you are locked in a cycle of behaviors that are not being properly addressed and resolved.

Yes because sometimes you think a person has changed and you give them another chance and they prove you wrong

Very normal! Sometimes people make mistakes. But if you're in an abusive relationship, please reach out.

Every relationship is different so it just depends. If you guys break up Multiple times
maybe you guys should just take a break from eachother.....figure out what you each want and come back with a clear mind â¤

Yes. Break ups don't always happen cleanly on the first try. Often one or both partners change their mind multiple times. So what we see is a cycle of breaking up and getting back together. Often couples can be trapped in this cycle for some time. One of the ways to see if your own relationship is in this cycle is instead of focusing on the reasons you are breaking up, look at the frequency of them. People trapped in the break-up/make-up cycle find the break-ups become more and more frequent, while the "good time" in between break-ups becomes shorter or even disappear altogether.

Is it normal? I don't know it depends on the type of relationship that you have... BUT if its healthy ? No it isn't... Keep in mind this is my opinion and it doesn't mean that i'm correct. This is what i believe and i stick to it because of what i've been through.
I think it isn't normal because a lot of people want a stable life and in order to have a stable life with someone by your side, you need to make sure they want to be a part of your relationship right ? It's not really healthy for you because it will make you sad, depressed, not focused on what you should, cant reach the objectives that you want because you keep on thinking about why that is always happening to you...
Sometimes you need to let go, probably is not what you want but it is what you need.

It is, breakups can happen at anytime, people often change their minds when in a relationship and it sometimes doesn't go as planned but getting through with it is also a tough part but having someone help and guide you through it is a great step, being in a relationship is a great feeling but ending one isn't as great, being in a hard situation like a relationship ending is something people often find as hard, but once you're finally ready to try again can be difficult, you'll need to fully understand if you're ready to try again, but even when that happens you'll still need to be careful with whom your next relationship will be with.

Break-ups are sometimes tough, sometimes not so tough but it's nothing wrong with people who realize that they want to be with their ex after they broke-up. Maybe if they want to be together then they'll try to work on things and talk to eachother more and share eachother's emotions. Sometimes people don't really want to be bothered but that's not a reason for them to end up a relationship. It's not worthy to end a relationship because of your ego or your problems because couples are supposed to share and help eachother. If you break-up with someone that means that you want a change and you want to move on so when you go back to them after a while it just shows that you are not ready yet and it's nothing wrong with that but if you want to break-up with someone you should always have respect and analyze really good why do you want to break-up with them

If you're in a relationship where you and your partner break up multiple times, it is normal but it isn't always healthy. You and your partner shouldn't break up over the little things. That's not how a relationship works. It's about communication, trust, and honesty. If those things are not included in the relationship, maybe things aren't meant to be. If you guys break up over bigger issues, again communication is the key. Talk and figure out why you're mad instead of taking breaks. Don't be afraid if the relationship isn't meant to be. Breakups are always hard.

Humans are never perfect. We all come with our quirks and characteristics. Finding someone that cares about them and loves them is hard. So sometimes when we leave someone who was part of that side of our life and cared about them we often go back to them. Even though they might love are quirks, sometimes they just aren't our match. So yes it is completely normal to break up with someone multiple times. Sometimes you just want to make sure you didn't make a mistake. However, when you break up with someone it's important to be sure you are completely ok with resonating with the fact they won't be in that aspect of your life anymore.
