Unpopular opinion: serial monogamy is bad

Treating people like appliances seems to be very normal in western societies. Sorry if that is bit too forward.

Agree. All they do is perpetuate cyclical problems when they go in relationships unhealed and still hung up on the ex.

In other words, don’t "rebound" ? Makes sense to me. I think some people do it because they can’t bear being alone. Which is symptomatic of other issues.

Fear of being alone causes people to do all sorts of crazy stuff. It’s sad really, the ability to just be by yourself is so important. Even in relationships.

Agreed but the types of people that do that often (not always, people can change) have other issues, like my narcissistic ex was like that and some women that were borderline or at least suspected due to how their behavior was did that as well. It's kind of a sign of something disordered in the person's life so it's less about the relationship and more so that there's underlying issues that they can't seem to face. Some people also lack the neurons for self reflection (not an insult, this is true about the human brain) so they don't have the ability to see themselves but they can judge in others.

Ugh...its a plague !

People jump from one type of hook up to another , never learning who they are , just who they want to pretend to be .

And wonder why things keep falling apart.

Serial monogamy just seems like the worst of both worlds with some extra badness added in.

It’s no good in the long run and most of those relationships fail and it’s a continuous pattern of rebounding
