What is the use of breaking up with some only to get back together a week later?

Nothing magically changes in a week. To me it still says a lot of bad things about a person for doing it. Non committal, a quitter, liar. Breaking up doesn’t change things, staying together and working at it changes things.

i’m with you on this, just as confused. i’m not a fan of constantly breaking up. i have a few friends that have done this for years with their bf’s and it’s actually gotten to the point when they call, i’m insensitive and impatient. it’s the worst way of crying wolf and expecting people to be sympathetic when it’s the same bs over and over. i’ve advised them to talk things through, work their problems out, don’t just leave because something dumb came up. or freakin REALLY calling it quits when you honestly know there’s no hope. and they don’t listen. anyway, i know where you’re coming from and it is ANNOYING. can’t feel sorry for those who don’t want to help themselves. i don’t pity the ones that are always running from their problems, want to blame other people and think that after a week and a half, those problems magically fixed themselves.
People are stupid, they get back together because they like the abuse. That is the only explanation I can come up with, they are addicted to abuse.
Um you just answered your own question.
Only if there is something to work on. A long term partner who has hurt you deeply is still the person most likely for you to have a fulfilling life with. With time they can be forgiven and the relationship grow from the setback to what you want.
The only magic in a week is the calming down and putting things in perspective. good magic.
So you can have random sex with strangers for a week! DUH!!! Then make up sex!
If someone broke up in the first place,
there’s always a reason..
and chances are, that reason wont go away.
So people who break up and get back together are stupid, and they’re just going to get hurt.. again.
just to think about the relationship and hookup with a different people
I was sat in front of a girl on the bus today who was in that situation. From what I heard, he was a complete idiot to her, had a son but wasnt sure if it was his, and she eventually kicked him out. Only to get back together with him…. Dont see the point myself. Think they believe the love will magically appear somewhere.
I think some people when they fight say things rashly. Ive done that before. I love my boyfriend to death, more than he loves me (which is one of the reasons why we fight, though he claims our relationship is not one-sided, I feel it is) and when we’ve fought Ive pretty much almost full out said "we’re broken up"
I realized thats selfish though, and stopped doing it after awhile…esp when I dont want to break up with him and want to work things out its stupid.
But if the person seriously breaks up with you and gets back together blah blah blah repeat cycle…thats messed up. On and off again relationships dont work! You should find someone more mature that is willing to work on things…this person wont ever have a long lasting relationship with that attitude
I’m going to answer your question: Maybe they realized they can’t be happy without each other. It also depends on what type of relationship it was.
My boyfriend and I have broken up for a week a few times and its because we needed to think about things and then we realized that it was better to work things out when we were together and not apart. It also helped us realize how much we want to be together and how much we love each other. So breaking up for a week or for a short amount of time isn’t always a stupid thing it can help with a lot more things than what people think.
Those are the ones who don’t want to accept the inevitable.
