You have a problem with the drywall. It is not a problem with the paint. Most likely it is moisture or some kind of contamination on the wall that is pulling it off the drywall. Another issue to consider is if you have too many coats on the wall the weight of all the coats of paint can cause stress and pull everything off. If the paint is not peeling everywhere and is just peeling in certain places the paint did not fail. (Paint does not choose where it will peel and where it will adhere).

It could be for two reasons,

First, with the time, the chemicals in water paint ares drying out, and the paint gets harder, loses its form and crack.

It could also be because some water paint was painted over oil paint. You can paint oil on water but not water on oil, cause it doesn't "stick" to the oil one.

Also certain wall surfaces need to be paint with oil paint.
