I've been in an on again off again friendship/relationship with a guy for 6 years. no matter how far apart we are or how many people we date during our separation, we always find some way of coming back to each other. when we are together we tend to misunderstand each other, get into a petty argument and go our separate ways. we always say we are waiting on the other one to get his/her act together. we've had some good times and the potential to have had some great times but it usually goes wrong somehow. could this be something real or is it just us fighting for something that isn't there?

Wow! That sounds so familiar. I was in a similar situation, but I broke it off completely after several years. I think it's mainly about familiarity. You two know each other so well and are comfortable with each other. When you go out with other people, it's unfamiliar territory and is actually work in trying to get to know the new person.
If you're always fighting about the same things, you should probably break it off. It's obvious that you both cannot resolve those specific issues.

Give it time and go see what else is out there. I was in a similar predicament once and I didn't realize how much fun I was missing. Don't spend all of your time on a relationship that doesn't even sound that stable.
Its like me and chocolate ice cream.... I would never know how great it was if I didn't try all of the other flavors too. Now I'm not saying sleep around... but go on some fun dates. If its meant to be... you two will find a way.
Good Luck!!

Find out why it has gone wrong in the past and work on those problems. Stop breaking up over misunderstandings. Instead of running away from the issues work through them and find resolution and compromise. If you've done all that and you two are still breaking up then you probably make better friends than a couple.

People like to go back to what is "comfortable".. And you are obviously comfortable with this person. Try couple's counseling to iron out the details.

i fight w my man, but hes still here, so maybe if u can stick around each other to make up, then see where it goes from there. good friends are hard to find, keep that in mind,
oh ya, my hubby is my best friend

Nothing is coincidental, that is God's way of staying in the background. Go Figure!

Sounds like a security blanket type of thing.

Sounds like you are not compatible to me. Move on.
