Serial monogamy is an activity that involves a succession of monogamous relationships.Perhaps if one finds himself or herself in this kind of practice, chances are you have not allotted an ample amount of time for introspection.
Breakups are one of the worst feelings in a relationship -- the end of what was once a happy and fortuitous romantic connection.However, it is said to be unhealthy to go on relationship-hopping from one person to the next without any reasonable time (a month or so, perhaps) to reflect on what went wrong in your past relationship.
Audrey Hope, a relationship expert, says that it is a psychological defense mechanism that attempts to fill the emptiness one feels.One partner after another means that you don't know what you really want in life.So you fall into the pitfalls of estrangement even to yourself committing the same mistakes over and over.In short, serial monogamy offers no emotional growth to a person.
Neely Steinberg, a dating coach noted,, “In my personal experiences and my coaching experiences, it's often crucial to fly solo for a bit so that you can develop self-awareness and an awareness about your past relationship (what worked, what didn't work, what you need in a partner/relationship, etc.).When you develop more awareness, you can start making healthy, conscious choices moving forward (rather than acting on impulse or unconsciously).”
So before you carelessly engage in another relationship, consider the time you have to spend with yourself first.Confront your inner demons that will mostly lead you to your own self and to stop covering that void that you are hiding inside that chest.It is high time you must know yourself first before knowing anyone else.
