Is there really such a thing as a rebound relationship?

[exitseven]

I never understood it. And what about the rebound from the rebound?

[TrueConfection]

I think there is such a thing. Some people get a new pet the day after losing their "beloved" animal (they don't treat human relationships any different). Some people look for emotionally vulnerable people so they can BE the rebound and get out. It's all unhealthy, but it happens.

I never had it happen to me. I guess my breakup were all sudden and I was always able to just turn the page.

[TrueConfection]

I have never rebounded or been the rebound, but I have seen it happen.

[exitseven]

fair enough.

[TrueConfection]

Thank you for the MHO ❤

[loves2learn]

Yes I think so. It happens right after a long relationship when the person doesn’t want anything serious.

[exitseven]

@loves2learn is that how it works? did it ever happen to you?

[loves2learn]

@exitseven I watched it happen to my friends. I only ever had 1 long relationship.

It is a real thing, in fact some people never experience a break between relationships they just jump from one to another to the next and never get to experience life as a single person.

Guys can often pick up on a girl in rebound mode, I've heard them say "I can get her into bed so easy, look how vulnerable she is, she just wants to be loved" and then make their move. This is common in divorce cases, where the woman also wants to know that she can still be loved.

I can't speak for how it works on the male side though.

Oh my gosh yes!!

People heal in different ways, typically the first relationship you have after a break up or a separation is that relationship where you look for answers about yourself.

It is much easier to do this with other people as they can see what you can't and reveal information much faster, help you notice things you weren't able to.

That's why they say after. Abreak up it's good to not jump in to another deep one too quickly, keep it casual, not because it may fail... a rebound relationship could turn into the perfect storm of wedding bells and the American dream but... its important that you and that partner have clarity of your expectations of one another.

never had something like that, never tried either... just not my thing, does not sound like something wise for me to do

[DizzyDesii]

If i get with someone that soon, its cause we really vibe and i like them enough to consider likely moving on with them. I dont do rebounds

[Miristheiss]

Well they are a little more popular than fast break relationships.

You never see full court trap relationships anymore.

[Cubus]

Yes. In one moment you feel empty and have no one to share your emotions with. It's understandable you want someone to fill this.

[exitseven]

@Cubus I already assigned th eMHOs but I would have picked this one.

[Cubus]

Thanks dude.

[Seangreen]

Are you kidding me where have you been living under a rock?

[Wiredone]

I don't ever remember having one. I know about rebound sex which is different than a relationship

[humanearth]

No its a excuse to be a slut

[dustybiker]

I think so. Never experienced it myself.

[msc545]

Maybe for a short time.

[AnnaRhea]

As a female, yes! It’s the final “jab” at the ex.
