Monkeyvining

Monkeyvining results when said monkeyviner swings to the vine of new relationship, without first letting go of the prior relationship vine.

Commonly referred to as "serial monogamy," monkeyvining frequently results from fear of becoming forever relegated to the shadowy and dismal doom of repeatedly watching 28 dresses with your 28 cats.
