"Mom, you and Dad argue about everything!"--- " NO, Honey, not really. We are not upset at one another if that is what you mean, we are only targuing. We don't have to agree on everything!"

"You just love to argue about everything" -- "No, I do not, I am only targuing with you. I just find that often I do not agree with what you say, and I feel inclined to have just as much of an opinion as you do."

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...
