Do rebound relationships ever work?

Rebound relationships refer to those relationships that are formed right after the end of another relationship. On average, 90% of rebound relationships fail within three months. Lets explore why it has a high tendency of failing. Firstly as the person wishes to move on from past relationship as quickly as possible, they quickly enter the very first opportunity coming their way. The intense relief from a failed precursor brings unusual optimism for in the new romantic opportunity. They are infatuated over their new partner and deem their new partners above all other priorities. They are blinded to the flaws as they are locked in the honeymoon stage.After this stage, reality slowly seeps and they both notice each others flaws and they start experiencing difficulties. Resentment, regret and disappointment follows soon. Hence if you are currently in a rebound relationship you may be faced with the reality of breakup or reconnection. Hence it is always crucial to take things slowly.

Mine worked! We split after some months, and rebounded after 2-3 months. We have been together for almost five years now. Never say never, it really depends on the people involved :) it was the best thing that happened to me really, I am so happy we rebounded and I feel grateful every single day. It takes a lot of maturity and a lot of forgiving for the past errors, but it's possible. Of course this doesn't apply in extreme cases and in toxic and abusive relationships, in that case, totally stay away from them! It isn't the norm luckily ^^

I believe that rebound relationships are built upon negative emotion. This is not to say that they are doomed to failure. I believe that they are simply starting from a point that is more difficult. Then again, some rebounds are built upon a feeling of freedom and a chance to do new things. Therefore, as with all things, the context of the relationships start has a great deal to do with the success or failure of the "launch". A relationship is so complex that to break it down into so simple of terms is unhealthy.

Yes, of course! Especially when we just had bad breakups, rebound will help us move on faster from the ex. We will be able to build our confidence back faster and even better. Hence rebound can promise and also lead us into a better relationship, the one that actually works. We will be able to apply what we just learned from our previous breakups to avoid another breakups. We now know what we want exactly from our relationship and will able to respect our new partner better than before. So, yes, I think rebound relationship can and will work, if we want it to work.

Sometimes it can. Ig you and your partner believe in each other then i think that can work. Sometimes it doesn't but you need to be optimistic so you can keep that relationship healthy. The most important thing is that how you feel in that relationship and you need to know what you exactly want and expect from your partner. You need to tell each other what you feel, even when you have a problem. Sometimes people don't believe in rebound relationships but it's okay because sometimes it doesn't work out. You must know that if you thinks that your partner is toxic, you shouldn't come back to him.

Depending on people. But for me, before we enter relationship we must assure that we are ready. We enter relationship bcos we love that person, we should not use others to get over with our feelings. Let us all value people and their vulnerability. We all deserve true and pure love. Relationship isnt just about love but commitment and understanding. Let us not take anyone's for granted. Rebound relationships mostly happen when one's cant get over with their past. They seek to find comfort in order to relieve the pain and sadness. It is a lame reason to use other people to get over with our misery because we are causing other people's misery too by using them. Human feelings are not decoy to get used and played with it.b

I’m not a expert on relationships. Would say that you are wanting or in rebounding relationships. Sometime I feel that we meet people quickly to fill the void of someone else. I’m sure some people have great luck finding the one after a break up. I don’t know if they are the lucky ones. I happens to remember having my first breakup and needing to have that void filled again. However, I decided to wait. I needed to find out who I was before I ran to meet someone else. I think that was one of my best decisions. I think we get caught up on relationships and forget who we are.

It depends on whether the person rebounding is still in love with their previous partner, and also whether they truly love their current. It will also be dependent on the persons mental state, as a big break up can take a serious toll on ones mental health. Sometimes meeting someone that you instantly bond with after a break up heals the hurt the said person is experiencing, especially if the two fall in love. But speaking from experience it is hard to trust and love a person when somebody has just broken you before hand. All in all I believe a rebound relationship can work sometimes but it is dependant completely on these factors.

A Rebound Relationship Will Work If… A partner is open and honest with the new partner about the recent breakup and the reasons for it A partner knows with all certainty that the previous relationship is 100% over. They grieve it, but they don’t dwell in grief. They are fully engaged in the new relationship. If the person is dating a new person out of love and openness, and they are not reacting to the loss of the old relationship, the relationship might just work. If the previous relationship ended on good terms, one has a better shot at a rebound. If the person is the one who ended the relationship, the rebound is likely to work. However, if the person is the one who was left, this may affect their self-image, making them more emotionally unstable.

Not really, you can do them for a few weeks but then the other person gets bored and goes back to their wife/girlfriend and doesn't tell you or treats you badly, so i don't think it is a good idea really, it is probably better to tell these people that you are not interested from the start if you think that they are on the rebound, because it is not fair on you really. You owe yourself more than that and it is not very respectful or good for the soul. It is probably better to avoid someon who you think is on the rebound.
