He says he loves me, but leaves me all the time.

So I’ve been on and off with my boyfriend, together for 6 years but on and off for probably the last two. We met in high school, we love each other, well at least I know I do. Point is, I messed up in pushing him away a year ago, then I took him back. Love changed and realized he’s the guy I want to marry. I’ve been single for a year now, but he’s been jumping from me to another girl. Every time I take him back he swears, cries! It’ll be different this time, makes promises that he’ll marry me. His family doesn’t really like me just like mine doesn’t like him. It’s chaos. It’s basically the reason we can’t ever make it work because he is a very family oriented guy, easily influenced. His family likes the girl he jumps to, therefor he likes the feeling of having a girl around his family something he can’t do with me. I promised myself to move on but I can’t.. this has happened over 10 times already.. We got back together yesterday, how do I know this time is different? Or wether to move on or not?

Personally I'd dump him. Rip it off like a bandaid before you get hurt again, because there is a 99.9999% certainty that you are about to get screwed around yet again. How many times are you willing to fool yourself?

 

Run, don't walk

He doesn't love you. His actions clearly show that.

 

If it hasn't worked after the second reconciliation, it certainly won't after the tenth.

 

Be done with this and find someone who values you.

It's time to move on. This relationship is dysfunctional and this is not love.

Why doesn't his family like you? Why doesn't your family like him?

 

What are the positives? What do you like about him?

 

Is that really why he jumps to the other girl - surely it's not just the family thing.

Is there anything in your story that tells you that you should stay with this guy? Do you like being one of the two women he is sleeping with? Why do you want to marry him, because it's a way to keep him from running away again?
