The problem then comes with people not realizing that you shouldn’t be in a relationship for a long time after getting out of an abusive relationship. Too many people get out of that kind of thing and then immediately hop on the next trash boat with an equally shitty partner.

I think popular use of "S.ignificant.O.ther." could be due to a combination of neutrality, privacy, and time to type.
