My partner and I keep breaking up and getting back together again. I don't know what to do any more.

I think that this a really unhealthy relationship. It has become a toxic cycle that you both can't break away from. I believe you both should try to talk things out or go to couple's consuloring perhaps. If that doesn't work I honestly think that you 2 should break up. This isn't healthy for you or them . Everyone is important. You are important. It would be better to recover your mental health and be happy without this relationship dragging you down. Trust me this would be a healthier opinion. I hope the best for you on your journey. Kisses♥️

I’ve been in this position before and it became very frustrating. It can be hard to leave someone especially if there your comfort zone. For me the person I was with worked well for my life on the surface. But I still wasn’t happy and emotionally fulfilled. I had to take a step back and weigh the pros and cons of being with that person. If the cons out weigh the pros taking a break from that person may be the healthiest decision. During a break up it’s also important to have a no contact period where you and the other person give each other space and time to heal from the breakup. If your not truly healed from the breakup it can be hard to let go and you may find yourself getting back together to quickly and having the same unresolved isssues.

Looks like there is an emotional dependence in this relationship, I will explain ... For some people, especially those who go through, or have gone through, major traumas, strong episodes of emotional stress, sudden changes, losses or separations, internally, psychological distress may arise, which undermines emotional autonomy and can generate emotional dependence. These situations are marked as a kind of abandonment and vulnerability, which persists over time. This feeling is revived in the present. It is very common that people who go through this condition of dependence, because they feel fragile, become a little discerning about their affective bonds. Some end up accepting to remain in relationships without quality, in exchange for "crumbs" of affection. It is common for these people - and also those around them - to perceive the constant need for someone's presence. This condition can lead a person to live afflicted and frustrated, with the uncomfortable feeling that there is always an imminent loss, an abandonment about to happen. Emotional dependence not only compromises healthy relationships, it also causes serious self-esteem issues. Allow yourself to put yourself first, allow yourself to love yourself in an integral way! Ask the question, what have you been doing just for yourself, and for no one else?
