serial monogamist

One-at-a-time lover

A serial monogamist is someone who moves from one exclusive romantic relationship to the next with little time single in between.

The term is often gently mocking, suggesting the person needs to be partnered but cycles through partners: She's a serial monogamist—engaged again six months after the divorce.
