Relationship leap frog is when you go from one partner to another, sometimes with a little bit of over lap. Why is this a dating don’t? That’s what we’ll be taking a look at today.
Maybe you’ve noticed a trend in one of your friends dating life. She falls for one guy, then five months go by and suddenly she’s in love with someone new, whom she dumps her current boyfriend for. It’s a patten that can be hard to break, but it’s important that your “friend” works on this.
Here’s why it’s worth fixing this problem.
1. You’re never going to fully get over your ex. It’s proven that however long you’re in a relationship for, cut that time in half and that’s how long it takes you to get over the ex. If you never take the time, you’ll be bringing your old baggage into a new relationship.
2. It’s hard on family and friends. If you’re always moving from one date to another, it’s difficult for friends and family to trust that any of your partners are going to last. That can lead to resentment.
3. It’s hard on the new person in your life. When you have a reputation for leap frogging from one person to the next, how are your adult friends supposed to feel special, or that they have a chance at a lasting relationship with you?
4. You end up hiding from yourself. What does it say about you that you can’t be alone for any amount of time? Before you can have a lasting relationship with someone else, you have to have one with yourself. By denying that from happening, you are potentially sabotaging future romances.
5. The grass will always be greener, until you stop hopping fences. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to stay in one place. In order to build a future with someone else, you have to stay with them even after the honeymoon period of your dating life has ended.
