Why do you guys think I get bored of girlfriends quickly? At first I truly enjoy being in a relationship but after say 6 months or so I start to develop a wandering eye. Of course this leads to breakups and the cycle starts all over again. I really want to get married and start a family but given my past I don't think I am marriage material. Wtf is wrong with me? Do I need counseling or medication?

Think it could be a few things. Relationships are work, have you and ur gf at the time tried to do different things, new things that can keep you both engaged?

None of us know you, so based on these couple sentences none of us can really give you a quality reply or advice.

I could guess. Maybe your not dating women who you really share a deeper level of interest and compatibility with. So once the initial excitement and lust wears off, your bored because you have nothing to talk about or any common interests to share together.

However, thats just a guess... since I know nothing of you or your girlfriends.

Counseling though? It probably would help you to sit down and talk this out with someone in far greater detail.

Hard to say. There are many possible reasons, everything from immaturity to poor choice of criteria in selecting significant others, and not holding out for things that interest you long-term. Are there other contexts in which you have a short attention span? It's impossible for people who don't know you to tell you why you behave as you do.

Why do you want to get married and start a family if you know your attention doesn't stay with people very long?

Sound pretty normal to me.

Maybe be less conspicuous when seeing another attractive girl.

You know, like, "DANG!!" To a, "meh."

Normal for who?

Not so normal for people who profess to want to get married and raise families.

Doubt you need medication, do you see a therapist?

I have this tendency as well - from time to time- which directly conflicts with my human instinct to have a family. I know my issues tho, and why, so I'd take an honest look @ your parents, familial dynamic & upbringing. You don't always need therapy to figure this stuff out. It ain't rocket science.

I tend to date college educated women who share many similar interests like traveling, exercising, cooking, etc but that wears off for me. I honestly think I just get bored of the same girl. I forgot to mention I am 28 years old.

Again, if this is a real issue for you, marriage and family is not probably in the cards. Both require more commitment and stability than you would be capable of providing, given this limitation.
