How to use "On and off" in context?
When it comes to relationships, people tend to move on and off. It is okay to have feelings for someone and then move on. It is also okay to not have feelings for someone and then move on. It is not okay to suddenly move back onto someone after breaking up. This is called "on and off" and it can be really messy. When someone moves on and off, it can cause a lot of confusion. They may not know what their feelings are and they may not be able to trust themselves. This can make it really hard to build a strong relationship.
