I may have discovered why people jump from relationship to relationship ("monkey branchers") with the help of our girl Pink. Pink has a documentary coming out Friday & I got to go to the premiere Monday at the Hollywood Bowl to catch it ahead of its release.
She & her husband, Carey Hart, just celebrated their 15th anniversary & she opened up about what makes her relationship work and it’s all about working on yourself!
“Long-term relationships are not easy. It is much easier to stay in the solid days and jump from relationship to relationship," Pink said. "You have to end up fixing yourself, you can’t fix the other person.”
And that was a light bulb moment for me: when we start dating someone it’s always "the other person isn’t what I need/expect/want." When sometimes it requires you to grow and change and I think often times in relationships or dating, when things get tough people just jump – monkey branch – from one thing to the next.
So essentially not being to stay in a committed relationship is more about you not wanting to work on yourself than anything else…
