Do rebound relationships ever work?

Both yes and no. They can work as they can grow into something far more meaningful, but it's important to remember that you shouldn't give someone false sense of security, because you're lacking comfort. Be kind to both yourself and others.

It can do. But statistics would argue that the probability for it to work out is rather low. I cannot speak for your specifically. If both are willing to give it a serious go and are able to let go of the past, I would give it another shoot.

Sometimes. However, usually the problems you had in the previous relationship tend to spill over and transfer to the new rebound relationship and then you end up facing the same issues.

Usually, they do not because the decisions made at this time tend to be impulsive which means they are not thought through. However there have been times where it works, this could be because the rebound was with someone that you cared about and have a strong bond with.

I think it depends on the situation. If you are with that person solely to get back at an ex and nothing else, the chances of it working are slim. However, if you truly care about the person and you are doing it to move on and leave that ex behind, I believe it can have a real possibility of working.

Generally not . Short answer : Partners are not stable with regard to their relationship . A Break up might have been caused due to a conflict which is likely to occur yet again if both parties are disagreeable .

Every so often because there is an obvious initial thing that draws someone to a "rebound" but most of the time no, because someone's state of mind is altered and their "interest" can come from a place of sadness rather than true intrigue.

If the rebound relationship means you're truly moving on and not replacing someone and not expecting the same as before, it could work. If the relationship is healthy and is meant for growing of both people in it, then yes.

It depends. Too many factors. If the next person turn out to be a monster, then it wont work.

If it involves a lot of honesty, reflexion and acceptance of the past it can, otherwise in my opinion not.
