It is probably normal, but unhealthy. If the relationship is on and off its probably not a mutual relationship.

People break up and get back together frequently. What's normal in a relationship? What's normal depends on each person who is in the given relationship. But whether or not it's 'normal' probably depends on the circumstances in which you break up each time. Ask yourself if you think it's normal and if you're okay with it. Sometimes people break up and get together again for the wrong reasons, other times they get back together for the right reasons.

Yes, but it could be a problem if it's happening too often. If it's a mutual breakup, I'd say that it's pretty normal. If it keeps happening where one person is leaving the other and then coming back later on when they want to then that's when it maybe be something toxic. Depending on how you left things with this person each time a break up occurred with them and what the reasons were for there to even be a breakup in the past. Obviously this person see's something in you for them to keep coming back. Just make sure that that this is someone that you really like/love and care about Otherwise you're just wasting your time.

The normality of it depends on why you are breaking up. If you are in a toxic relationship yes this is normal, and I suggest getting out of it. It may also be that either one of you may have commitment or trust issues, and are afraid or scared. If this isn't the case well in my opinion I think it is normal, although maybe talk with your partner about. You might be surprised and learn the reason this is happening.

It is totally normal. We usually have to try, and go through some situations that will most probably make us more experienced, then we will be able to reach our goals or in this case find the perfect match. It needs patience in some cases.

There is no normal when in a relationship. I know some people who have broken up many times but are now married and happy with their lives. I also know people who broke up many times to realize that they are hurting each other more than helping.

Relationships are never easy. There will always be bumps and sharp turns on the road towards the future of every relationship, and breakups definitely aren't any easier. Communication plays a big role in the majority of break ups and relationship problems. It's very important to have good channels of communication established with your partner when laying down the foundation of your relationship, that way it will be strong and you will be able to confide in each other when things get rough instead of arguing or breaking up, etc.

Based on my experience, it's not because it suggests that you don't get along very well. I remember, when I was still with my great love, we would always fight and break up. No matter how I genuinely love him and no matter how I truly care for him, I left him. You see, breakups hurt both parties - it will hurt both of you, and we wouldn't want that.

I think there is no such thing as normal or not normal at all. Anyhow, it seems like you guys are having some troubles you haven't worked through. You should both sit down and talk about what is it that keeps causing you breaking up and think if you can deal with it. If you both agree to work on the issues you are having, then it's fine! If you realize that one of you can't or is not willing to work for improved relationship, I think it says it all.
