Sometimes it takes several breakups for us to realize that the person we are breaking up with will never be able to offer us the loving, committed and fulfilling relationship that we are looking for. We often end up entering into a relationship with them over and over again because we hope that this time everything will be better and he/she will be a different person now. While this might sometimes be the case, more often than not we will be left heartbroken over and over again and finally have to realize that things will likely never work out. Sometimes it's better to acknowledge this sooner than later. Because delaying the inevitable will in the end only leave us more heartbroken and cause us a lot of pain that could have been avoided

It Shouldn't be because but it's not healthy for the relationship . Breaking up is like a sign of trying to get away

Well with my experience, yes. People get angry and regret things. Maybe your partner was having a bad day, or they were drunk, or stressed out. But its normal :)

To have something be normal means to conform to a standard. If you have conformed to having a relationship(s) where you break up multiple times then it may feel normal....but something that is normal doesn't necessarily mean it is healthy or okay. You decide what becomes your normal. A healthy relationship is composed of healthy behaviors. If breaking up doesn't make you feel good about yourself or your relationship, but you have gone through it multiple times, it may feel normal to you but it is probably not healthy nor is it something you want to have as "normal." Love yourself and conform to standards that bring positivity into your life and self.

Yes it is. But what you need to really ask yourself is, Do you think it's normal to put yourself through this much amount of stress and heartbreak? If you are the one breaking up with your partner then maybe you should take a step back and analyze your relationship. If you are the one who is getting broken up with then you should start asking if you really deserve this unstable relationship.

Hi there! Yes, that is totally normal! Many people break up multiple times, because they just don't find the relationship that they need or want. They just don't have that connection they are looking for, the connection that really makes them feel truly happy. And that's completely okay. Breaking up multiple times means that you have identified for yourself that this relationship will never work out, and you ended it before you got in a bigger mess. And remember, with every breakup, you've taken one step closer to finding the "love of your life". Keep looking - and never give up! Good luck! :-)

This friend of mine, when I had a multiple breakup times told me this: 'Giving yourself time is just prolonging the end.' In my opinion if it's some monotony so you take a break to recharge your batteries or if you feel like if you keep pushing - it will end for real - you take a break.
But if it doesn't go, but you keep pushing and breaking up - it's just not going.
Good luck !

Although it may occur quite often these days, I believe that breaking up multiple times is a big sign of insecurity between the two of you. You have to push past the fluctuating emotions and decide to either break up for good or stick together faithfully.

There is no such thing as "normal" when it comes to relationships and break ups. Every couple is completely unique and has their own story to tell. Comparing your relationship to others can lead to unrealistic expectations and assumptions. Instead, focus on the reasons why your relationship specifically has experienced multiple breakups.

Sometimes. There are times where things come up about someone in a relationship that the other may feel they can't deal with, then they realize that it sounds worse than it is.
