The answer depends on your definition of a break up. Sometimes taking a break in a relationship, two or three days can be a healthy thing. A short period of time for one of you to be yourself. If your relationship keeps ending because you can't stop bickering then what is abnormal is getting back together again and again.

After the "honeymoon phase" of the relationship is over, we start to reconsider and re-evaluate our relationship altogether. It is very common to break up multiple times during that stage because of agruments over anything and everything. But, if you feel like you talk less and fight more, maybe it is not normal. Towards the end, all that matters is two people who refuse to leave each other.

yes it is, love is beautiful but complex too this is why it might happen many times, it doesn't mean at all that you are a bad person it is maybe that the people you have been with are not "the one" so don't worry about it, I heard once that people in average love 7 times before marriage, I was shocked that it was an average because I felt that I am the only one who loved that much of people but it is a fact :)

'Normal' doesn't have a place when it comes to love. What normal for one, isn't necassary normal for the other. It is possible to break uo multiple times. If that's so maybe you should start thinking about what's going on that makes you two break up again. Can you guys work it out? Is there enough reason to keep fighting? Do you love eachother hard enough?

It is not normal to break up a relationship multiple times. If the first 2 times in a relationship, when you feel it's serious, fail then you should abandon the relationship and try to be friends. If you would wish to continue a relationship that previously fail, please try to talk out your problems and come to an understanding before you jump back into dating.

As it may be normal, it is not healthy. You should look for a healthy relationship that is good for you and your partner, as well as both of your mental states.

Breaking up is quite normal. Some people just may not click, and most of the times breaking could be the best option to carry on living.

It is definitely normal to break up multiple times. Especially when we are young, our hormones directly affect our emotions. Sometimes break ups come from that biological roller coaster, other times we break up frequently because we just don't find the right person who matches our interests and values.

If you mean breaking up with various partners - yes. It's perfectly normal and natural to break up with various bf/gfs as you find out which type of person you want to be with. However, if you're talking about breaking up with the same person multiple times it isn't normal or healthy in my experience. I've been in a relationship like that and sometimes you feel tricked into thinking a person is right for you just because you always end up getting back with them. In special circumstances couples can recover from breaking up and getting back together but if it turns into a serial on/off relationship its a bad sign
I still love my ex. Should I feel this way?
