On and Off in Relationships

Posted on January 24, 2020 by RelationshipBreakup

When people fall in love, there is no path that is clear-cut.  People will break up and make up and sometimes they will stay together for long periods of time.  The on and off again relationship is very common and at least 2/3 of all people in relationships have experienced this.

You have seen your friends and family members go through these types of relationships and sometimes it becomes a cycle.  You will see people who want to renew their former romance because it is familiar and comfortable.  If you still think that you are in love with someone after all of this, you might need to have some space and talk about it and try again.

This doesn’t come easy and it comes with a price because it can be a roller coaster relationship.  You can find that people become toxic and do not treat you the way that you should, especially when you keep taking them back.  You need to look into long term relationship ideas.

If the relationship is an on and off again cycle, chances are things need to be addressed and you need to learn to rekindle the relationship.

Uncertain Future

When your partner wants to get married sometime, but you aren’t interested in that, this could be one of the reasons that the relationship is on and off.  The key is to communicate and try to figure out what each of you want.

Both people in the relationship need to be vested and you need to make sure you are on the same page for the future, so it doesn’t become a toxic relationship.

No Change

If you decide to take a break but then keep getting right back together and have makeup sex, then nothing is going to change.  Figure out what the source of your arguments are and figure out what can be different.

If there is no discussion, then there will be no change and the cycle will continue.  When someone does something over and over again it means that there is no change, and this can be toxic.

That means you need to set boundaries and you need to figure out a way to meet your needs.  You need to have them step up or leave and stay gone.  Doing the cycle of on and off again over and over again can be painful emotionally.

Safe

When people get together over and over again it is because they feel safe with you and this can be a problem.  Are needs getting met?  This is one of the common reason’s relationships break up and get back together because the needs aren’t being met.

People become detached and they don’t provide their partner with the things that are needed, and they are breaking up and getting back together because they feel safe with this person.

It is normal to miss someone when you break up because it is familiar, and it makes you feel safe.  It is normal to miss someone after splitting up but if you are afraid to be alone, there is a chance that your relationship is toxic.

Work on It

You are not the only person that has things to work on.  When a relationship is not working, things need to change on both ends.  If you want to get back together, you need to talk to your partner and make sure each party takes responsibility.  You both need to work to make the relationship work better and be healthier.

Pay attention to how many times you question your relationship and how often you wonder if it is what you really want.  If you always feel bad about yourself and you wonder what you are always doing wrong, work on yourself and your personal growth.

Relationships that are on and off again constantly can make you feel bad.  When this is always happening, you need to take time to understand the relationship and see if it is toxic.  You can seek counseling and work through your issues in a safe place.

All relationships are unique and none of them can really say if they are toxic or not but there are always pros and cons that you will see.  Highlight in your relationship what you want to see changed and then determine if you need to break up or if you want to live happily with them.

Remember that communication is the key and if you want to make any relationship work then you have to make sure that your desires and needs are met and if they aren’t, then you need to work on that because everyone deserves being happy.
