Addicted to Love? The Truth About Serial Monogamy

Addicted to Love? The Truth About Serial Monogamy
SHARE

A significant number of romantic relationships conclude for valid reasons. Taking a moment to reflect on our roles within these dynamics allows us to recognize our errors, providing a foundation for personal growth and preventing future mistakes. Moreover, dedicating time for self-reflection is crucial for genuine healing. According to psychotherapist Brianna Paruolo, “It’s essential to process every relationship we engage in, irrespective of its duration or commitment level.”

Equally significant is the ability to enjoy one’s own company without relying on outside validation. The wisdom behind the saying “if you can’t be happy single, you won’t be happy in a partnership” remains ever-relevant. As psychotherapist Ken Fierheller points out, “Having a monogamous partner in itself isn’t bad. However, when someone feels they cannot find joy or function without that partner, it signifies a deeper issue. The ability to be blissfully single holds great importance.”

A persistent discomfort in solitude can suggest underlying attachment or self-esteem issues, complicating long-term relationships. “These characteristics can undermine the connection essential for a healthy relationship,” explains Howard, adding that such disconnect may affect various aspects of intimacy, including the bedroom.

What Leads to Serial Monogamy?

Humans are inherently social beings, seeking connection and intimacy. Audrey Schoen, a licensed marriage and family therapist, states, “The initial stage of romance can be exhilarating as we tend to focus solely on our partner’s positive attributes.”

However, seral monogamists may be caught in a cycle where they crave the initial emotional high but struggle to maintain a healthy bond once that euphoric phase passes. Such behaviors often stem from complex psychological challenges, including low self-worth, unhealthy attachment styles, and unresolved past traumas.

Impact of Past Trauma

Experiences of trauma or a distressing childhood can result in detrimental relationship patterns or an insecure attachment style. “For instance, witnessing a divorce in childhood can lead to unhealthy relationship dynamics,” Howard elaborates.

“Traumas or injuries related to attachment can drive an individual to seek connection passionately, only to withdraw when relationships deepen,” adds Schoen.

Fragile Self-Esteem and Fear of Loneliness

A serial monogamist may also grapple with fear of loneliness due to fragile self-esteem. “The apprehension of being alone often leads individuals to seek companionship, sometimes at the cost of true love,” explains Suwinyattichaiporn. “For these individuals, being in a relationship often feels like validation of their self-worth.”

Emotional Immaturity

Sustaining a long-term relationship necessitates emotional maturity and ongoing work. “This might be something a serial monogamist isn’t prepared to confront,” states sex therapist Emily May. “Many serial monogamists are evading necessary emotional growth.”

Commitment Anxiety

Ironically, despite appearing to embrace commitment, a serial monogamist often harbors a fear of it. This anxiety frequently surfaces when relationships become serious, prompting them to retreat. “A root fear of losing freedom and autonomy often underlies this pattern,” notes May.

Distorted Perceptions of Relationship Value

Cultural narratives often elevate the status of being in a relationship, leading some to internalize the belief that their worth is dictated by their romantic partnerships. Howard observes, “People are conditioned to equate their self-value with their relationships, viewing them as reflections of their inherent desirability.”

How to Break Free from Serial Monogamy?

The encouraging news is that individuals caught in the web of serial monogamy can certainly cultivate meaningful, enduring love. It requires introspective efforts and a commitment to self-improvement.
