2018: life was perfect with my perfect partner until my perfect partner left me

2021: life is perfect with a new perfect partner who's never going to leave me unlike my previous perfect partner

2023: any guesses?

Do we need to be this reductive? He was happy in a relationship but then it got bad and fell apart. That happens, alternative lifestyle or not. I don't see why this implies that his next relationship is unlikely to work out.

I'm certainly not hoping it goes badly for him. I just don't think it's healthy to learn about a source of volatility and then immediately go all-in on the next one.

He certainly seems to have kicked his mental health can down the road. Lots of signals that he is immature in his relationships and perhaps using them as a crutch.
