It seems like this can happen often when you love someone, but they hurt you. Normal isn't a word that I use very often though. Because what is "normal" for some people isn't for others.

I hesitate to use the word "normal" in these circumstances but I believe "Separations" (as oppose to break ups) usually occur because the couple believe that something in the relationship is wrong yet can be fixed. The final break up eventually comes when something irrepairable happens such as one partner falling out of love with another, or an unforgivable act e.g. serial infidelity

Many people seek relationships, believing it will solve all their problems. It is completely normal.

I don't believe it is normal. If it did not work out the first time there's a very slim change it will work out the next time. If you've both realized your mistakes, admitted them to each other, and are willing to try again, go for it!

Sometimes you just need a break from the other person, but frequent breakups can mean it's not right for you or for them, and that its time to move on.

Often yes, because people are constantly changing and you find different things about each other that you do and don't like. One of my best friends started dating a guy when she was 13. After a while they didn't think it was right. So they broke up then got back together again. That happenedabout another ten times, for about four years and there dating again at this point, but it was all because they were finding different things about each other constantly and neither of them liked the change but they still wanted to be together. So it's perfectly normal.

I wouldn't say it was normal to keep breaking up with someone multiple times but also depending on reasons for break ups

yes very normal it only means that it wasn't meant to be or that it wasn't the right one for us, sooner or later we will have our right person that continues by our side for the longest time to come

Yes, it is perfectly normal! Sometimes people need the extra confirmation when they're going through a tough breakup that they don't want to happen. It could be a sign of being unsure.

From my past experience of breaking up multiple times with the same person, i think its not okay, because in my opnion it means that it will never work out, no matter how many times you get back together, you will break up again non stop and you can't continue your life like this. You both have to make a solid decision whether you can stay together in a relationship in ups and downs, or you both go separate ways. Best of lucks 💖
