    It sounds like you may have personal issues where you indicate, but she has a lot of personal issues, too, and baggage that she's carrying that makes her behavior erratic. There also seems to be various, destructive codependencies between you that require one to take the aggressor mode and the other the victim mode at one moment, and then perhaps turn the tables the next moment. The codependent behavior is indicative of an immature relationship, and she sounds like she has erratic mood swings and issues with the realities of life - nothing and no one is ever perfect, even though each and every one of us in a relationship (both he and she, not just he) can improve and strive to be a better person. But this will never happen with an immature partner on either side (or both sides). It doesn't seem like this relationship has any stable ground to survive on in its current unfolding. If it's worth it to you, some couple's counseling from a third party might be in order - or, just find another more suitable partner. I sense also that both of you are young still - just because you're both in a relationship doesn't mean that either of you has found your life partner. Your continued break-ups may be indicative of this. Perhaps you should not be so ready to get back together the next time. Maybe it's time to move on. You say that you find something special in her - sure, everyone has good qualities. But, can you ultimately love this person and the life and living situation it will give you for the rest of your life. Without some other intervention, this is the best it gets - it only gets more complicated and goes more downhill from here if you don't have the right relationship tools and non-codependent bases of relating to each other. Best of luck.

    I think that all the facts are perhaps out in the open now, and the functional and dysfunctional aspects of your relationship are clear, correct? Or, is there still something you're still not clear about regarding how the relationship is going (not talking here about any decision you need to make, just the simple facts)?

    From here you need to make your own decision - no one can decide this for you.

    I really don't think the current state of affairs will be good for either of you. So, you will either need to bring in outside couples counselling, live on in the dysfunction, or separate. Only you can know.

    Best wishes!

    JoeinMD is correct. Your current relationship is not built on love, but emotional dysfunction. In a codependent relationship, you let someone become more important to you than you are to yourself. This is why women who are physically abused sometimes stay in relationships where they are harmed.

    A healthy relation is built on trust and allows both partners to be themselves, instead of trying to exert control. Partners change and meet each other's needs so they can become more mature. They do not change their partner to be like themselves.

    I also agree that it would be very good to get counseling. Very honestly, your relationship is hurting you both. You can only change yourself and not her. Since it is hurting you both you will have to come to a point of deciding what is best for you both... Stay together and fight over and over, separate or change. And if even if you are able to come to a point of personal satisfaction in who you are and be self confident. There is no guarantee she will change.

    I think it would be best if you both agreed to see other people and see how it goes, get counseling or take time away from each other for a few months.

    I wish you the best.
