monogamy

The custom or condition of having only one mate in an intimate relationship, of being dedicated to a single partner.

Monogamy is a traditional ideal in various societies, yet many people in these societies are not monogamous.

Cheating (being involved with someone else, with secrecy and deception) is a destructive way to be nonmonogamous. On the other hand, swinging and polyamory (types of responsible nonmonogamy based on the knowledge and consent of everyone involved) are viable choices for some people.

serial monogamist

function: noun

one who spends as little time as possible being single, moving from the end of one relationship to the beginning of a new relationship as quickly as possible

although the relationships in which many serial monogamists find themselves are also often short lived, the defining aspect of serial monogamy is the desire and ability to enter new relationships very quickly, thus abbreviating any period of single life during which the serial monogamist may begin to ask questions of an existential nature

Percy: Wow, I can't believe Gwyvron is already dating someone else! I thought he just broke up with Lorelai at last week's LARP after she accidentally cut off his phonytail...

Stewart: Yeah, that's the way it's always been. When he broke up with me, he started dating that hussy Lorelai within three days. He pursued her as if he were Cerberus hunting a soul fleeing across the Euphrates. I'll tell you, that Gwyvron is quite the serial monogamist.

Committed monogamous relationship

(noun/phrase) Fictitious phrase used by many hos and players alike on unsuspecting boyfriend/girlfriend types in an attempt to have them believe they and the subject telling them such are in a special type of relationship that involves love, respect, and many other ideals often akin to the beliefs of a fool or fucking idiot. To believe in the existence of such should warrant a careful examination in regards to the mind of the person believing such ludicrous tales.

Betsy couldn't believe he fell for it. She put it out there as a goof, but that dumb fuck Nikki bought it and didn't ask for the receipt. "Committed monogamous relationship", I'm telling ya, Betsy laughed to herself...."and when you find a unicorn, why just tell that stallion to come on over here to Momma so that he might put that horn in my gooey honey hole, and he measures up enough Momma here gonna put that magic horn in her ass next. Yessir, but don't forget the cocaine, honey".

cereal monogamy

The custom or practice of eating only one type of cereal at a time. Cereal monogamists view the casual alternation of cereals, or, worse, mixing different cereals in the same bowl, to be simply wrong.

Not to be confused with serial monogamy.

"I eat Cheerios for breakfast. I eat only Cheerios; no other cereals. Cheerios are the greatest thing since sliced bananas! Wait-- I'm out of Cheerios... time to get some more cereal... I eat Frosted Flakes for breakfast. No other cereals; just Frosted Flakes."
That's an example of cereal monogamy.
