Do rebound relationships ever work?

They can work in a sense of gaining new perspective on what we want out of future relationships or finding out what works and what doesn't work. Of course, is true love likely? Maybe or maybe not but any relationship you enter into can be a learning experience. So if we consider them learning experiences and allow ourselves to appreciate them in that sense they can be beneficial. Just because something doesn't result in a long term committed relationship doesn't mean that we didn't gain something from it if we engage in it in a healthy and responsible way. Good luck out there. I'm glad i'm no longer involved with dating and am enjoying a 10 year long marriage.

I don't believe that rebound relationships work because they are on the false pretenses that everything will work out with the "replacement." Along with that, the rebound isn't the person they are, it's the person you want them to be. Rebounding is a way of coping because those who we love have rejected us, and in spite of that we chose to find someone else in hopes to prove that it could work out between them, when in reality it will not. But because we are so into wanting things to work out, we force ourselves to try and when it doesn't it ends up leaving us even more heartbroken.

I personally think that it might feel like it is helping in the moment, but it might make you not have time to process your emotions from the previous relationship. It is important to give yourself that time to heal emotionally until you are able to give your heart to someone else. Also, the rebound might have strong feelings for you and you might not feel the same so it might be unfair to them. Unless there is an agreement that you both are on the same page. Overall, I do not think it can work out unless you are mentally ready to move on.

A breakup causes an emotional and physical gap and a rebound can be the solution. Not only can a partner supply the physical needs that were lost through their physical presence and by fulfilling sexual needs, but if a new partner is in some way similar to an ex, feelings of attachment can naturally transfer towards a new partner without a large investment of time. Science supports that rebound relationships can be beneficial in dealing with getting over an ex, but it leads to the assumption that a rebound is only as good as its ability to be the same or better than your ex. Your ultimate choice to either seek out a rebound or deal with your emotions on your own should be based on the answer to the question, “Is the rebound better than your ex in any way, physically or emotionally?” For example, if your ex always comes out on top, you're going to think about and miss your ex more, which means the rebound is doing the exact opposite of what it was meant to do.

In my experience. No. I'm in a rebound relationship right now, and I don't think it's working. It's painful. And every text/exchange just hurts. Because you are merely substituting one person for another. It's hard though. Cause you crave the feeling that person gave you and the love they gave you. But just finding a replacement is no way to go about it. Coming to terms with the fact that the old relationship is over, and working through those emotions is important. And something that is frankly necessary to move past the breakup and move on as a person. Love is tough. But you can make it through.

Think that you love each other and that as much as you have fallen out, things can still work out. Let the other person breathe, miss you, your company, the moments they had together, don't send messages all the time asking for forgiveness, saying that you can't live without it, even if it is true, wait a while. You more than anyone know that love exists between you and that there is a very strong bond that unites you, believe in this love, ask for one last chance, no matter how much time passes and everything gets more difficult, don't let to believe.

I believe that under special circumstances they could work. But usually when you jump into a rebound relationship you are just using that person to try and get over someone that you recently got out of a relationship with, or to try and make them jealous/ get back at them. And that makes it hard to catch feelings for a rebound. You’re usually still too invested in the person you were with beforehand to make a real connection with that person. But if that person ended up helping you get over your past relationship and you formed a connection with them in the process of that you could end up in a very happy relationship.

Yes and No because when a person is vulnerable they don't see the flaws and red flags they normally would and the relationship sometimes end up toxic, it could also work because that other person can genuinely be a good person. It is a little tough to gauge the situation, it really depends on the other person and who they are getting involved with. It could be someone you would never be with because you would notice red flags from the beginning and end up in that relationship since you are upset and lonely or it could be someone you typically wouldn't give a chance to because you don't think that person is your type but turns out is exactly your type.

In my experience, It depends on a number of different factors: reason for break up, time spent in relationship, family and mentality. If the breakout was due to factors such as cheating, I’m a strong believer in if they can do it once, they will always have that mentality of exploring other options so I would stay away from rebound. On the other hand if it due to factors such as “not being the right time” or drifting apart then of course a rebound would work. Also it just depends on what kind of person you are. Some people move on faster and don’t hang on to past relationships and have the empiric always ability to do so

Rebound relationships do work if both the person are equally comitted towards it and again ready to be together with more respect and love towards each other. Broken relationships create differences. It sometimes make hard to trust again. Broken things too need something to get fixed again. So does the relationship. It requires belie that two people can take each other with open heart with faith that whatever kept them apart will not do again. It takes time. I think if worked rebound relationships proves much more stronger. Relation can be of any type but the thing that every relation need Is love, respect, loyalty and most important understanding.
