Read receipts to individuals turn off on their own

For over a year now my i phone 6s plus will randomly turn the read receipt off on its own to my contacts that i turn it on for. I never notice until usually my girlfriend tells me its turnd off. This has happend every time i turn it on. Sometimes it will last for a few days, a week, and some times a month. I never mess with that setting unless im told its been turned off. When im informed that my read receipts are turned off i look and feel like a liar when i tell them i dont know why. Please help me figure this issue out. Iv done every update and i turn my phone off / reset about once a month.

When you open an existing text message you will see a circled letter i. When you click that it gives you two options the do not disturb option, and your read receipt option. Next to each one of those options there is a toggle button to turn it on or off. Like I stated before I will have that on back out continue to text sporadically via a week or a month later I will be informed that my read receipt is off . I will press that information button or i button
