I’m curious to hear opinions on this. It seems like a lot of people believe that you need months to yourself after a breakup to heal or move on, but personally, I do not think that is true for everyone. Both my sister and cousin met their current husbands less than a week after they broke up with their exes and it wasn’t a rebound situation.
I’m currently experiencing the same thing, not the husband part (lol but who knows), but I broke up with my long term boyfriend on Wednesday, he has a lot of serious mental issues and was very manipulative and verbally and emotionally abusive. I had already been emotionally one foot out of the door for two months before I made the move to end things.
One of my guy friends that I’ve had a crush on for forever likes me and had respected that I was in a relationship so he didn’t try to push for anything. Well now that I’m single, I spent the day with him and our other guy friends and I ended up hanging out with him one on one last night after we left the bars. He didn’t try to kiss me or anything which I really respect and I ended up sleeping in his bed with him. Nothing happened but we did spend the whole night holding each other and all I could think was “wow, I have been settling for way less for far too long.” We have so much in common that it’s scary, and when he looks at me, it’s like he has heart eyes. I’m sure I look the same back to him.
I’m not trying to jump the gun on this, I’m really trying to take things slowly with him because I do genuinely really like him and I know he feels the same way. There is 0% possibility that he is a rebound, as I have liked him ever since I met him.
What are your thoughts on dating someone immediately out of a relationship? Do you think that it’s possible to not have a rebound? How soon is too soon in your eyes?
