Bulldozed Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Someone on here mentioned "Serial Monogamist" a while ago, can't recall who. The more I looked into it, the more I realized it describes my ex to a "T"...looking more into its definition has certainly provided me with more answers as to the character and person my exgf is.... anyone else realize this about their ex? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=serial%20monogamist
Pyro Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 My ex was like that. I found out that she quickly moved on after her and I ended things. They didn't last long, and to my surprise she stopped being a serial monogamist and she is doing fine being single right now. I actually know more guys than girls who are known as serial monogamists. Pretty sad actually.
alphamale Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 there is nothing wrong with serial monogamy
Pyro Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 there is nothing wrong with serial monogamy Yes there is. Its not healthy to have to rely on being in a relationship all the time. You need to learn and be able to survive on your own.
CaliGuy Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Yes there is. Its not healthy to have to rely on being in a relationship all the time. You need to learn and be able to survive on your own. Yup. Can't be happy in a relationship until you've learned to be happy alone.
CarrieT Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 Yes there is. Its not healthy to have to rely on being in a relationship all the time. You need to learn and be able to survive on your own. I concur -- and it may have been me that mentioned being a Serial Monogamist. I essentially went from my parent's home at the age of 19 to my husband's home. After I got divorced at the age of 25, I have been in continual states of various relationships until my most recent break-up, 20 months ago. But that timeline has had me in relationships for the bulk of my adult life; over 25 years. Now, at 45, I am single and learning to live and survive on my own for the first time and it is quite a learning experience. I believe it is easy for people who are single to indicate that serial monogamy is okay if they are and have been living alone, but for someone who is in the exploratory process of learning, it is a daunting task.
Beeotch Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 My ex might be one of late....he just got out of a relationship and hopped back into another one. smh. Although they are rebounds I suppose it still counts. I don't think he was like that before....but apparently he is now. It is unhealthy and esp for him, it is apparent that he is doing this to run away from his issues. Unfortunately it won't help and he keeps dragging all these innocent girls into his hot mess.
