Normal in the sense that a lot of couples do it, sure. But is it healthy, not really? It could be a sign of multiple things, but usually, from what I've seen, it's a communication issue. It can often be the same things you're breaking up about over and over again. It may not be anyone's fault, as communication can be hard sometimes. But you do need to sort of take a look at yourselves, remove any emotion attached, and think if you both are really just compatible people. Because you may like each other, but if you're just hurting each other, it might not be worth it.

Yes it is totally normal! If we can try different shoes before selecting a shoe that fits and suits perfectly then why not relationship? Relationship is something like a life decision that needs to be tried until you find the one which suits you the best! Having multiple breakup doesn't necessarily show you are wrong person. Infact, it shows that you are a firm person, a kind of person who would not give up on anything so easily. Plus it also gives you the experience to be mature enough to not make the mistakes which happened in your previous relationship repeat again.

I would say that it indicates instability in the relationship. Having an argument and not talking is hugely different to ending things multiple times because you have reached the end-point, the last stage, multiple times. I would question whether it was worth being in the relationship if this is a recurring process. It might just be best to leave and find out what you truly want and need and what others might want and need from a relationship. However that's not to say that multiple time breakups aren't common - it depends on how many times you would define as "multiple", anything more than 3 would probably be a red flag for me but that's just my own personal belief!

I think it is, especially when you've been through a lot with a person. How you feel is just very powerful and comes from a very deep place, it's hard to just let go. Love is not a linear thing and the best thing for both of you isn't always clear. So one can think one day that things are going well and then feel completely suffocated the next. Then back again. I almost think it's something that some couples just have to go through to mature and figure out what will work best for both of them. Brace yourself for a crazy ride!

Yes, it is normal to break up multiple times. However, it is important to consider healthy ways of dealing with problems aside from breaking up. Communication is key in any relationship. It is very important to hear each other’s side, find ways that both of you can compromise, and never let your pride and ego be greater than your love. If you are experiencing relationship problems, consider seeking help from a licensed professional counselor. They can provide you with the tools and guidance you need to work through your issues and build a stronger, healthier relationship. I hope this helps!
