[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been happily monogamous for 34 years. It really helps that my husband always puts my sexual needs before his and once that happens it’s his turn and then maybe mine again. I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to be with someone else but I’d be a fool to give up what I have. [/quote]

Same here, 32 years, but we're not what OP is asking about, which is "serial" monogamy. A succession of exclusive relationships .I'm all for excusivity and commitment but I think I know the kind of serial monogamy OP's talking about here. Having had a close relative who married five times, and had a few Very Serious Relationships! between marriages, and who always swore each of the spouses/significant others were The One At Last, I've seen serial monogamy at work. It's fine while it lasts and crashes and burns as hard as any other soured relationship when it doesn't.

It also makes your relatives, friends and colleagus tend to be skeptical, and believe you're crying wolf, whenever you make the claim, yet again, that this relationship is the real deal and the keeper. I tend to agree with a PP who said it's just shorthand for failing at truly long-term committed relationships. [/quote]
