If you can move from one relationship to another with ease without any down time…it’s only possible for 2 reasons…one…you were not emotionally invested so you lost nothing…two…you are in denial.
Both are life long toxic patterns.
At our age it’s not cute to jump from relationship to relationship.
Serial dating and relationship hopping is a BIG red flag of an emotionally unavailable person…amongst other toxic patterns.
It’s a person who is lugging around emotional baggage from one relationship to another looking for some place to dump it.
Being constantly on the prowl is not because you can’t find value in other people…being constantly on the prowl is because you don’t find value in yourself.
Are you aware of why you were you in a relationship with a person you were not emotionally invested with?
What role did denial playing in your last experience?
Are you just playing out the same pattern?
Either way you can’t skip a step.
Both need time to process whether you like it or not…whether you want to or not.
People think the next person will heal the booboo on their bruised ego…what they are actually doing is just handing over their garbage to the next person.
You will do yourself and your next ‘victim’ a huge injustice and disservice if you try to skip a step.
Another ‘victim’ of your irresponsible behavior.
Relationship leap frog is not a cute contribution to your resume.
