Search Results: breaking up for good

My ex and I went through a lot of fights. Regardless, we managed to make it work because of our strong emotions. Just before our breakup, it reached a point to where he was calling me names and bringing up my family, basically no respect left on his part & coming at me for little things like me saying “thanks” instead of “thank you.” I blew up on him eventually & mentally checked out. 1 day we got into a fight and he said he’d block me (something he does when he’s mad). I then accepted some requests from guys- i was really mad-on social media (didn’t message them and deleted them later. He found out and hell broke and also found platonic msgs between a male friend I’ve known for 5 years. Those msgs included funny memes. I stopped being friends w/ this guy for him. He asked to check my phone, I didn’t agree because he should trust me & wouldn’t want him to think it’s ok to check my phone whenever he feels the need in the future. We ended up breaking up. We kinda kept in touch though to reconcile. Weeks turned into months leading up to us meeting in person. As we were chatting, he told me his expectations which included he checks my phone, I agreed. Then he asks to see my male followers to ask how I know them. I told him some are friends (since HS) and he didn’t like that. He said he doesn’t like his girlfriend to have male friends & I should take off whoever he doesn’t like. I had a reaction and didn’t let him check my phone so ofc he had major issues. We never got back together but now we’re surfacing the relationship again he told me of the same expectations. I’m really conflicted and don’t know if getting back with given expectations are normal or not. Is getting back a good idea?

Off course there are valid reasons to end a relationship such as it being abusive and toxic (or if someone wants children and the other doesn't) obviously but it seems that nowadays everything is a deal-breaker.

- You had an your first argument and notice they got flaws----break-up

- After 4-5 years in a relationship they did a lame prank----break-up

- The infatuation stage is over and chemistry runs out after 2-3 years---break-up

- They are snoring badly and you can't get to sleep----break-up

- They arrive late on some dates but are overall a good person---break-up

Some people keep saying marriage is a joke. Well so are relationships, living together is a joke too... all that shaking up for a break-up later on lol. Everything seems like a joke nowadays. Seriously are people nowadays breaking up for anything?
