Rebound

          Relationships

Are you familiar with Rebound Relationships? Have you ever been in a Rebound Relationship? I bet you that, if I mention the phrase rebound relationships, seven out of ten people will say that it is not really a good idea, or that it is just not going to work. Well, in fact this may be your opinion. In theory, those so called rebound relationships have just as much chance of succeeding as any other.

Before going further, let’s make sure we understand what are rebound relationships? A rebound relationship is one in which a person becomes overly quick to commit to a new partner after having experienced an upsetting breakup or divorce.

Yes I know that emotions may be high after a breakup, and this is not the best way to start something, but if you just happen to meet your dream mate does this really matter. It is definitely not a reason to avoid starting something with them. We can't always choose when we fall for someone, and there is no way you should lose a potential soul mate just because you just broke up with someone.

Not all rebound relationships end with emotion, in fact many ends with a gentle common agreement. In this case, the reason people say don't get involved on the rebound may then not apply. Some relationships do end due to one big thing like one partner cheating or similar, but most just end because they grew apart, or their attraction for each other just faded. In fact, many people have emotionally broken up and made their decisions and separation mindset long before the actual breakup. People in this situation will be ready for a new relationship; the rebound vulnerability 'myth' just doesn't apply.

There are many people who will go on to have a happy and healthy relationship, even if they did meet shortly after one of them was involved in a separation or breakup. Even though people who have breakups and then immediately involved themselves with someone else seem to feel the need to prove to themselves they deserve love and affection, there is no reason why a 'rebound relationship' should be any less likely to succeed, than when both partners are long term singles. Why wait? Is there really a good or specific time to find true love? I don’t think so.

Rebound relationships are well known to help moving on from a previous relationship but why would they be deemed to fail? Because we have something to prove? No. Rebound relationships during this hard separation period are in fact a very good reason and time to meet other partners.

If you are the one that suffered from a previous breakup, and is looking towards a new relationship, you should ask yourself if you are doing it for the right reasons. If you are just doing it to make your ex or previous partner jealous, and to have a revenge for wrongs reasons or false action you think they did to you, then don't! It just isn't fair to your new prospect to be in this situation. You will end up hurting two people, as well as probably suffering guilty. It is acceptable to date casually, as long as the people you date know you are not looking for anything long term, but revenge is never good. If you are some dating with rebound relationships, just take you time to know this 'rebound relationship person' such that you will know his or her true intentions.

Rebound relationships can work, and if you do end up in one yourself, you have all chance of success on your side. The main advice is learn from your breakup, and don't make the same mistakes again. With this said, you could finally end up with your rebound girl or guy for a long time.
