If a guy goes through a divorce and gets a new girlfriend quickly is this a rebound?

Question

Is it a rebound if a guy moves on quickly after going through a painful divorce? Is it just for sex or can you see it being a long term thing after 10 years of marriage?

I think it just depends but anyone whose a empathetic person hurts from getting a divorce no matter how toxic a relationship may have been I don’t care if you’re male or female.

I think only people who are narcissists and other dark personalities can truly move on though I do think there is some exceptions to that rule. Such as people who have planned on getting a divorce and already pretty much pre grieved the relationship.

People seek companionship especially during hard times but people need to be extremely careful because I see people jump straight from one marriage into another that ends up being worse then the last. Not always necessarily but dark personalities can sense when someone is vulnerable but so can empathic people as well.

People also can hurt someone else rebounding if lets say someone isn’t a dark personality but a genuinely empathic person. But someone’s not over their ex spouse yet it can severely damage the relationship and cause riff raft. Including making someone else feel insecure by comparing them to their spouse even if they don’t mean to hurt someone.

The other extreme is someone pretending to care about them and using their pain from the last marriage and locking them down. But those marriages can end many times worse then the last.

It depends on the man yes sometimes it s a rebound. I’m not saying it can’t flourish into a genuine love for one another but it’s important to take things slow and see where it goes. Before jumping too deep into something too fast and either getting hurt or hurting someone else. Other times someone’s a dark personality and they never really build a genuine attachment to their ex anyways. So

Not necessarily. They could have been happy for 8 years then over the last two they were flaking apart. Maybe they just did t have the finances to divorce, or it made sense financially at the time to still live together as far as their house, bills, electricity, maybe having kids. But like someone said a divorce happens over time. It’s not something that usually happens over night.

It could be either. Could be she was his girlfriend before the divorce... Could be henhealled fast or she's helping him heal. Maybe the divorce was his idea? Maybe they fell out of love long before the divorce.

Sometimes it’s just someone he’s been checking out for a while, sometimes ish a short-term rebound, sometimes it’s just luck, etc. (Same for women as well.)

Call it whatever you want. There are two things to remember about divirce.

1. Divorce happens over time, as the relationship deteriorates. It's not an instantaneous thing.

2. The best way to get over a divorce us to move on, find a new partner. If a guy finds a girlfriend shortly after the divorce is final, he's doing the right thing.

Not necessarily if he was dating her while going through the divorce

As for life it moves on & so do people. As for marriage it could be a wonderful thing to some people or it can be a nightmare when it comes to a divorce. If a guy goes through a divorce & gets a new girlfriend quickly she could be a rebound but most likely she isn’t a rebound she is a replacement for the old ball & chain/warden instead.

Yes. I am against this quick pickup type thing people do. If you’re coming out of a long relationship and quickly jump in a new one you’re wrong. You’re wrong because you got unpacked baggage from the last relationship and you didn’t take the time to unpack. Say what you want but i can bet money this quick new relationship won't last very long because of your baggage

No, why does moving on with your life a rebound to some people?

White_Widow · Answer

Before a couple gets a divorce the relationship and love has often passed long before. Its not a decision made lightly and impulsive and definitely doesn't happen overnight. So no, I dont think its a rebound thing.

Shiprex · Answer

It could be a rebound but these days it's probably a way to get rid of stress and tension from the loss with someone else who is also compatible. Men are adaptable and can fit in to another relationship without too much sentiment or trouble

RageBabe · Answer

It's unlikely to be a rebound if he's been seeing her for some time, especially if he was seeing her while still married.

Identifying as an animal. At school some of the parents complained but fortunately the teachers were supportive of the lgbtq, though male students kept pulling my tail thinking it was funny because it was attached to a buttplug

Depends on if he was already checked out and was just waiting for the divorce to finalize, it could most likely be a rebound..

slatyb · Answer

It could be a long term thing. You won't know for a while. That's dating.
