serial monogamists
One-at-a-time daters
Serial monogamists are people who move from one exclusive romantic relationship to another, rarely staying single for long.
The pattern suggests someone who prefers committed partnerships but struggles to maintain them indefinitely: She's dated five guys in three years—classic serial monogamist.
The term carries mild judgment, implying someone afraid of being alone or unable to commit long-term while technically remaining faithful within each relationship.
