#repetitioncompulsion

Colin Singleton from, An Abundance of Katherines, could have been in this psychological state: Repetition compulsion!

(Because of the abundant amount of Katherines he dated.)

"On the surface, a repetition compulsion is something you experience fairly often. It's the urge to do something again and again. Maybe you feel compelled to always order the same thing at your favorite restaurant, or always take the same route home, even though there are other yummy foods and other easy ways to get home. With each repetition, we act out our desire to go back to a pre-living state."
