Monkey Branching 

Getting your next relationship set up before dumping your current S/O. Generally involves cheating (at least emotionally) on your current partner with the intended future partner. Refers to playing on the monkeybars, where you don't let go of the first bar until you've grabbed on the second.
Bill: "Well, your brother just sent the Save The Dates for his third marriage - they haven't even finalized the divorce yet!"

Joe: "Yeah, the monkey branching SOB did the same for his second marriage as well - all his relationships 'overlap,' if ya know what I mean."

OR

Joe: "Sue and I decided to try an open relationship."

Bill: "I dunno, sounds like she's monkey branching to her *next* relationship."

Monkey Branching 

Not letting go of one thing before you seek or reach for another thing. It usually applies to relationships but some people do it at the dinner table and some do it when they think their means of income is insecure.

...Keeping in mind this is part of how monkeys survive...
Since polyamoury is not officially recognized and since people do the bare minimum for even themselves, I gueas thise of us who want a whole or interesting relationship are left to do some Monkey Branching to see if the next relationship contestant is more of a winner
