it's normal but it might not be very healthy to the relationship in the long run! i think it's important that you identify the reasons that's causing both parties to break up multiple times. then perhaps from there, both of you can work something work. it's kind of like to develop a strategy plan to work as a partner, rather than using break up as a means to solve the issue. if the core issue is never discussed, the problem won't be solved. the fact that both of you still find each other after each break up probably means that both of you can't stop thinking about each other! so i believe both of you will work something out. all the best!

I don't think that's healthy. Maybe you should consider stay away from a unhealthy relationship like that one. I've been through that and, when I finally could let it go, I realized that, when we love someone, it's not normal to even consider breaking up, not even once... When you love someone, you only want his/her best. Trying to stay with someone when all you can think is breaking up it's not healthy, it's bad and can really damage you self esteem, your self love and can make you feel not wanted. So no, it's not normal. Is toxic and unhealthy.

Unfortunately, yes. Breaking up is really hard, and a large part of that is the thought of staying away from someone you've been so close to. The most natural thing to want is to be back, close to them again. So you go back - it's what you want. It feels right. But there was some reason it didn't work! and that reason is still there. You can take it for a while, but sooner rather than later you realize again that it's not working, and break up again. And again. And again. Breaking the cycle is so hard it almost seems impossible. My personal experience is that it will keep hurting for AGES afterwards. But not for ever. Slowly, slowly, so slowly you don't even notice, it gets less bad. You find a whole minute when you haven't thought of them. A whole hour. A day. You still remember them occasionally, but it's not as bad. Maybe one day will be the last time you think of them. I don't know. The important part is, it does get better.

Breaking up several times can happen in a relationship. When this happened to me, I asked myself why I got back together with my partner. This gave me clarity of how I felt about him and us. For example, my current partner, we broke up twice, but we are still together. The first time we broke up, I was sure I didn't want to be with him, mainly because he wasn't physically my type. But I got back together with him. Why? At the time I was hitting a low, I lost my job and the future seemed bleak, he really liked me and offered comfort. I told myself I am doing this for comfort. Giving me control of our relationship. And for someone who just lost their job, any control was rewarding. The second time we broke up, he asked if we were going to be serious. I said I don't know, which caused him to be upset and he left me. During our time apart, I still had my first thoughts, I was only with him because I wanted some comfort and future prospects. But I still felt hurt, I went on dates and I couldn't stop thinking about him. In the end I realised that I was attracted to him, and really wanted to be with him; the only reason why I was hesitant was because I always pictured being with a certain physical type. But when someone challenges you in the right way, make you happy, and you can do the same for them, and you are willing to fight for it. You know you have to go back It takes a few tries to find the right person. But if you find yourself constantly going back to someone, ask yourself why? and be honest with yourself.

I've seen this happen so many times with so many people. It can be the result of just feeling unsure of the person, or if a relationship is even right for you at that time. So normal, yes. But it can also be indicative of underlying issues, that keep coming up. There might be real reasons why the relationship is unhealthy for one or both partners, but attraction, love, neediness, etc. keep drawing them back together. In that cases a breakup might be best, for both. Even for partners that actually do love each other, sometimes the relationship is just not the best thing for them. It's possible to love someone but not be with them, or even need to cut off contact.

Of course, It is!! A relationship can work after a breakup. Even after multiple breakups! ... Breakups are no walk in the park, I know. But I'll tell you that if you're both willing to do your parts, you can absolutely get back together and make it work differently this time around! Getting back together after a breakup is pretty common, and it can be for any number of reasons. Sometimes it really is because you've both realized that you've made a mistake and you want to get back to what works. Other times, it just sort of… happens. You can Get back with your ex permanently after multiple breakups! If you and your ex haven broken up a multitude of times the good news is that you know for sure that you are capable of winning them back!

In my personal experience, breaking up multiple times can point to an unhealthy dependency on one another. Other times it can just mean two people care about each other and want to take time away to grow in order to come back to a healthier relationship with their past partner. It truly can be a toxic behavior when it is used as a coping mechanism with stress in someone's life, but when two people breakup multiple times in order to benefit their relationship together, it can be a good thing. Overall, the context of the breakup is what matters most, whether it was beneficial or not.

I find it is a frequent occurrence for some people, though it is often indicative of an unhealthy relationship or a relationship without a solid foundation.

If the breakup has occurred multiple times within the relationship, it portrays that there is an issue within it. If you are able to fix the reasons for the breakup you will be less likely to breakup, however it is and isn't normal. Most people have been through the same thing including myself but then again you are going back to someone who hurt you before and then is asking for you back
