I guess the big question is... does she want help?

I've never stayed in relationships very long and usually it was that waking up one morning and deciding I didn't want to be in the relationship.  But the fact that she keeps coming back and that you take her back, is it possible that you have some co-dependent issues?  Perhaps as you work on those and lay some good boundaries with her she will realize you aren't going to always be there to pick up her pieces and she will hopefully get off the fence.
