What exactly is an overlapping relationship? Is it healthy or not?
Overlapping relationships are unhealthy and can definitely be defined as cheating on your partners because you are in two committed relationships at one time. Is this classified as polygamy? Technically it's not because polygamy is defined as having two or more "spouses" at one time and this current discussion pertains to overlapping "dating" relationships.
So, why do most people participate in overlapping relationships? It's pretty simple, really. They are co-dependent and are afraid of "being single." They don't want to be alone and are afraid of being alone. So, if one relationship is on the verge of ending, these "over lappers" will stay in that relationship, even though it may be very difficult and tense, until they can find a substitute partner. Once they find this prospective partner, they will continue in the old and the new relationship until they are sure that this new partner will make the grade and is a keeper. Of course, their behavior is unknown to either of the two partners.
So, what are some of the dangers of these overlapping relationships and why should this person seek counseling and then possibly enlist the help of a dating professional to find a compatible partner? The first and most obvious danger is that the culprit is lying to two innocent people and does not think this is wrong and unhealthy behavior, but rather rationalizes his or her actions. Some people are in overlapping relationships throughout their entire dating seeking career and there is something inherently wrong with that picture. It's absolutely not healthy and promotes neither emotional growth nor intimacy. Whatever supposed intimacy exists is all built upon a lie.
