It depends...
If the person they found was better suited for them then the last guy... then of course it's going to be better lasting...
duh

I want to comment on someone who said that you are always a rebound because we all had someone before. I disagree. Let's say I broke up with my partner and I feel like I horribly miss him/her and want him/her back, but I can't have it and it torments me like hell. And, all of a sudden, someone appears in my life who is attracted to me and wants to give lost of attention/affection to me - the VERY attention that I CRAVE SO MUCH FROM SOMEONE I CAN'T HAVE ANY MORE, right? I get involved with the new guy/girl - but it's really because I feel so lonely without that other guy/girl that I am still missing...- this is a rebound. It's like a mild version of cheating, really..(.It's better to have a rebound hook-up than a rebound relationship, then - it would have less hurts) So, it's not a really "honest" realtionship...But let's say, if I broke up with my partner, and grieve and cry and miss for about 6 months or more...and then, I eventually end up feeling like I don't care anymore if I see him/her or not, I don't want to cry any mroe, I am totally happy without that person in my life - I just don't feel lonely without that person any more - it's just my past...and, all of a sudden, someone appears in my life and gives me a lots of attention, and I feel like that might be someone very interesting, and so, I get involved - that would not be a rebound! BIG DIFFERENCE! To avoid those rebound situations, don't get involved with married people who tell you they are in the process of divorce...or people who just broke up...don't do that!

idk
i assume a rebound is every guy you date after your 1st boyfriend/girlfriend if you think about it. so I don't buy into the rebound thing but I guess my by is the rebound guy and were getting married hopefully this year. so they can last for one day or many years.
rebound or not I take all my relationships seriously

rebounds are funny because if usually means a slight lowering of standards just to get some instant attention. I'd never hook up with someone I had absolutely no interest in, but I'm pretty picky so it tends to end after 2-3 months of casual dating/hooking up

I personally don't believe in rebounds because there is always someone before you so you will always be a rebound if you think about it. A relationship will last if the 2 people are on the same page and willing to work together to accomplish their goals and aspirations, not because neither of them was a "rebound". If you are just dating someone for the sake of saying you have someone of course it is going to fail. You just have to look at it honestly from both ends.

mine has lasted 3 years. I am still with him. It wasn't meant to be a rebound, but things happen and got serious and I became really happy with him and lucky.

I meant to click 95% but accidentally clicked 80%. Can I get a do-over? lol.

Since "rebound" is understood to mean someone who is sub-standard but filling the void of emptiness, I would say 95-100% of them would fail.

I've never had a rebound. I always come to terms with the termination of a relationship before moving on to the next.

● Boys and Girls Can't Be Friends...

| I was short, fat, with braces, glasses and a face full of zits. I was a 1 and a half, as you once told him. Heh. I'm not mad, I suppose that's right. But I liked you. No, I loved you, as naïve as that... |
