Is it still worth trying if he/she broke up with me several times?

Short answer, no. Generally on-and-off-again relationships have weaknesses that don't lend themselves to longevity. Think of it this way: you and your sometimes partner have a history where the relationship ceases when things get difficult, only to recover when the loneliness sets in. These aren't healthy relationships because they create a sense of dependency and a consistent air of anxiety, because you don't know what's going to be the next time that it goes over the edge. Instead, if a relationship isn't going to function well enough to work in the long run, there's no point in investing untold amounts of time and energy (and heart!) into it. A good analogy is renting a house instead of buying one - you're putting in all the effort, but you won't see the results later on, because it's all about this moment and nothing ahead. You'll be healthier by moving on, focusing on personal growth, and allowing yourself to meet someone organically by living your life.

It depends on the reasons why he breaks up with you. Is it something you can change, is it a behavior you're having on a regular basis with him? Are you willing to work on that? Or is it just his personality, is he unwilling to work something out and keeps hoping that with the breakups you will regret it and accept unchanged behavior when he comes back? Speaking in general I think usually is not worth it. I had an experience like that and the cycle continued over and over. That is somehow addictive at a certain point and not healthy.

I would say not. This person is only coming back because they probably know they can just mess with your feelings. If I were you, I wouldn’t come back. I would find someone new, and see how the other person reacts. If they get jealous, maybe re-consider. See how you feel about your current significant other and your ex. Then maybe choose? Sorry if that’s not helpful. If they get jealous, that proves that they truly do care about you. If they don’t, it shows that they never truly did care, or they don’t care and much as they did before.

It’s not worth going back to the same person over and over again because of the fact that there is a reason every time that they didn’t want to be with you. A lot of the time, it seems like a good idea to give it a second chance, but there are many things that cause you or the other person to doubt their actions and possibly making the same mistake again. Fights are normal and healthy, but normal breakups are not and they can easily turn into something toxic if it is something that is not handled. Breakups should not be something that happen regularly.

No. That sounds like a pattern. I thought I had true love many years ago. The first 6 months were great and then the fighting started. We needed each other for a dependency on something the other lacked. Really unhealthy relationship. We loved each other but when we fought. We fought. That 6 month relationship stretched on and off to 6 years. I recently saw him again and it was the same fights. Nothing had changed. It's hard to move one without fear of it happening again. But I'm so glad I got out of there. It's not worth the heartbreak and trauma to your mind and body.

In simple words, it's not. But it largely depends on the other person too and how much you are willing to do for the relationship? How far can you go? Do you even have the strength to deal if something like that happens again? Are you sure you have gotten over the fact that they broke up previously? Are you still harboring any resentment? Do you believe that you can be happy or you are just betting or trying to get back or make someone realize your importance or their behaviour? Most of the times the answers are very simple. You just need to accept it and let go and love yourself enough to give yourself a chance at real happiness and a healthy relationship.

I believe you should keep moving forward in your life regardless of whom is around you. Heart break can be hurtful and even weakening at times. But remember, roses are beautiful but they all have thorns. You don’t ever have to give your heart to someone who will continue to break it. The could possibly bot be the right match for you but that doesn’t mean y’all can’t work to be friends or maybe see a future together down the road one day. We have to get our heart broken to see the darker sides of the truth to have a better future with someone else.

It honestly depends on how you feel. I am unable to speak for you, and I can not feel what you are feeling, therefore it is ultimately your decision. But, if it is hurting you in the process then it is not worth putting in effort to try and fix it. If they are not showing you the same love and compassion that you are giving them, then it may not be worth your time. It may end up hurting you more in the end, only to get the same results you would have gotten if you had just left it.

My personal belief is that if love is meant to be, then it will find a way. This has to do with another one of my beliefs, which is that everything should always be equal in a relationship. In other words, each partner needs to be putting out an equal amount of effort and energy in order to make things work. If one partner keeps breaking things off, this might imply that they are not on the same level with their feelings as the other partner. I would also be curious as to the reasons why things didn't work out each time. If we are talking about things like dishonesty, cheating, etc., then that greatly diminishes the chance of things working in the future.

Personally I do not believe so. I have been in this situation, being stuck in a relationship for over a year that was on and off constantly. It too a huge toll on my mental health. Constantly worrying about my partner and whether or not we would be breaking up was a huge stress that was not necessary. It was a stress that should not have been placed on me. Every relationship is different for sure, and I do not know yours but if breaking up and getting back together repeatedly is not a healthy relationship, nor is it healthy for you or your mental health.
