Couples take their sweet time;
Young adults engaged in longer relationships before marrying
Such on-again/off-again relationships are a new area of research, says Rene Dailey, assistant professor of communication studies at The University of Texas at Austin.
Although breaking up and getting back together has been considered a bad sign, she has found some couples benefit from one or two breakups. Dailey says many “redefine their relationship”; some change things about themselves or about the relationship and report resolving whatever problems they had.
“It used to be, if they broke up, it’s over, and the relationship is done,” says Dailey, co-author of a study published in March in Communication Monographs.
