inconstantly
In fitful fashion
In a way that is changeable, fickle, or lacking steadiness.
The word applies to emotions, loyalties, or behaviors that shift unpredictably: She loved him inconstantly, her affections cooling whenever he was away.
It suggests unreliability rather than deliberate betrayal—someone who wavers rather than commits.
