Let’s analyze a situation together. I know of a relationship involving an acquaintance of mine who has been with a girl for six years, and there is a pattern that always repeats itself. What is his name? Is it possible to identify it and understand why it works?

The Pattern
Two Weeks of Harmony: For two weeks, they are fine—low drama and thriving.
One Week of Turmoil: For one week, they (90% she) put everything on the line. She becomes bitter and wants to leave him, resulting in high drama that is often unmanageable. During this time, she might engage in behaviors such as going back to her parents' house or telling him that he is not the man in her life.
Cycle Repeats: After this tumultuous week, the cycle starts again. She seeks to make peace with him, he is initially a bit cold, but eventually, he takes her back, and the pattern repeats.


What are these types of relationships called, and why does the pattern work to keep them together?
What's here the underlying scheme?

They are called toxic and codependent. Do not get involved in them.
Oh I'm gonna learn on the subject, since I'm sure there are red flags a woman shows you, and also, things that works to make her "codependent" or increase her "codependency" to you.
But basically, looks like a bad relationship setup, but the curious thing was me asking myself how could this relationship lasts so long, in the first instance. Look like the two partners have fear to lose their "toxic routine"?

Yes, the red flags are when she tells you thing about herself that should make you run away, actually believe them instead of excusing them away or pretending she didn't really mean it.

She did.

People will tell you who they are early on most of the time, the other person just refuses to listen.

You're so right.
I wonder how they manage to be togheter for all those year, when I read online that those relationships usually don't last. I do Imagine that now that they have kids, she want to have him like a beta husband, and have all her plates on her side ****ing her.

Because men allow themselves to turn into doormats

Because a lot of guys follow their penis and allow women to take charge.
