What we are talking about instead is this pattern of quickly needing emotionally significant relationships to follow each other.
very much needing exclusivity needing a partner in your life often having very little space in between the people you date before we let our minds assume that this is a personality flaw I have got to remind you this isn't necessarily bad like I said some people genuinely thrive in partnership they date intentionally perhaps for religious or personal reasons and that's fine but
But the question is, what do you lose when you do that, if anything?
And why do some people feel almost unable to be single, whereas other people avoid relationships entirely?
What is that human difference that makes people go either of those ways?
So let's start with, I guess, some basics, not so much a definition, but some parameters around what makes somebody a serial monogamist.
There is no definition.
I personally think you could label yourself or somebody you know as a serial monogamist when they consistently leave less than three months between significant relationships.
Or they consistently leave less than three months between leaving a relationship and actively seeking out another committed relationship.
This is not just a one-off.
It's not just a long time coming after a breakup.
And it's not just rebound relationships after.
This is sought out commitment.
A rebound relationship is usually just a single event.
And I think it's usually just about distraction, right?
It's partly about soothing.
It's partly about proving you're desirable.
It's partly about feeling like you need to do the things that single people do after being in a relationship for a while.
Sometimes it's just about a new connection.
But you kind of know with rebound relationships, they're not going to last.
