syro-malabar 

Syro-Malabar Catholics are heavily latinized Oriental Catholics from Kerala, India who consider themselves to be "Roman Catholic". They are the Indian diocese of the Church of the East (East Syriac Rite) that came in full communion with the Holy See of Rome in the 16th century. Syro-Malabarians employ the Liturgy of Ss. Addai and Mari. There are dioceses outside India, such as Chicago (USA), Melbourne (Australia), Great Britain, and Mississauga (Canada). They are primarily of the Malayali ethnic group and speak Malayalam. Although there are a minority of Tamils, Telugus, and North Indians from the various eparchies in Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Karnataka, and northern & western India. Syro-Malabarians share the East Syriac liturgy with the Chaldean Catholics, Oriental Catholics from Iraq.

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
