Do you have tools and a non-romantic support group to help you through difficult times? When you hit rough patches in life, do you feel confidently, “I will get myself through this?” Or, do you feel safest when you have a romantic partner to lean on in these times? Relationships should be supportive and can help us through tough times, but they shouldn’t be crutches. If you feel confident you could get through difficult times as a single person, that’s healthy. If the idea of a rough patch while single is horrifying, you could be seeing relationships as emotional crutches. And that can lead to serial monogamy.
