Why does my girlfriend keep breaking up with me?
She may realize you aren’t a match, but she’s so invested in the relationship that
she doesn’t want to break up and be alone.
I think we are a match.
It takes two to make a couple.
I wonder if she does it so we can make up.
That’s a really stupid thing to do. If you rely on drama to keep the relationship going,
you may find that the next breakup is the last because the other person is tired of
yo-yoing along.
XKCD had a funny comic showing the correlation between the drama in someone’s life and
someone who says they aren’t dramatic.
There may also be the possibility that she wants to use the threat of losing her to force
you to commit to her.
If she wants to convince me she wants to stay, leaving me is a weird way to do it.
Maybe she is confused as to what she wants.
Single versus committed, but she’s giving me whiplash in the process of deciding.
If you decide that it doesn’t matter to you, one foot is already out the door.
She keeps leaving me. That is more than one foot out the door, it is a revolving door.
There’s also the possibility she’s seeing someone else and doesn’t know who she wants.
While romantic love triangles are a staple of modern fiction like The Hunger Games and
Breaking Dawn, no one likes them in real life.
Well, not the people who don’t want to be in the loser, while the person making the
choice seems to be in a no-lose situation.
If she can’t decide, I might.
And you still can. And you can tell her that if she breaks up with you again, you’re
forcing her to make a choice.
Or at least saying they have a consequence you can’t undo.
Maybe if she knows the revolving door could lock her out on the way out, she’d stop
using the threat of leaving as an emotional outlet.
Or I find someone who isn’t so dramatic.
