Do rebound relationships ever work?

New research shows rebound relationships are surprisingly healthy. Recent evidence suggests, in fact, that people who dive into rebound relationships get over their ex-partner more quickly and feel more confident in their date-ability A rebound is a romantic relationship which follows shortly after a breakup and before the full healing of the emotions from the last relationship. It eliminates the time you stay single after you call it quits with your last boyfriend. On average, 90% of rebound relationships fail within the first three months. Rebound relationships can work, but according to a number of studies, approximately 65% will fail within 6 months. In most cases, this happens because the new person (the rebound) is simply filling in the gaps that the ex left wide open.

It depends on each person individually. There is a lot of things that can be said here. From my personal experience, I would like to say no. If you just ended a relationship, you need time for healing! And you really need a time for healing. Some years ago I was in a short relationship with a person who had recently broken up his previous relationship, and after some short time I noticed that I felt more like a substitute of his previous lover, he wanted to have a quick-relief and he believed that it will work.. that I will replace his ex-lover and all pain will be gone... but it is deception... I believe that, when you break up, you need time for healing, time for a grieving. Grieving for the lost dreams. You need time to have some analysis of yourself and the relationship that you want. You need to time consider questions like - what I didn`t like in this relationship? What kind of relationship I want in my life? What kind of person I need for a relationship? What are my values in a relationship? What isn`t acceptable for me in a relationship? And quick remedies like a new lover will not help you to get through these questions, and If you will build a new relationship very quickly after break up – there will be a risk to engage in the same previous relationship obstacles, and once again to experience disappointment. I think people who just had a breakup are vulnerable! And it isn`t healthy to build relationship when we are vulnerable.

Hello, good evening! Rebound relationships can definitely work. If you real like someone and you guys get along well and they make you happy, it’s a good sign. Sometimes rebound relationships turn out to be the best relationships. It can also be helpful to get your mind off the past relationship and focus on the new. A new relationship can also help you to see what you maybe didn’t like about your last relationship that you now have or can work on having. As long as the relationship makes you happy and the other person is happy it can be good.

It depends on the relationship. If there are feelings left over from a previous relationship then probably not. However, the relationships can grow to carry their own meaning and develop on their own, despite being rebounds. I think it all comes down to the circumstance. In general, no. Rebound relationships do not work. Of course there are some exceptions. Rebound relationships typically do not work for a number of reasons, the main one being the purpose of getting into that relationship. Often times it is not fully thought through and things are not done intentionally, it simply happens. Now of course they can work, but in the end they need to work for the right reasons.

NO. Rebounds are something I like to call 'emotional getaway cars'. You aren't entering that new rebound relationship to actually forge a bond with another person. No, you are using them to emotionally getaway from the hurt you felt in your previous relationship. Save you and the rebound the trouble. You are just using them to avoid feeling pain and that is not fair to the person you want to rebound with. After a break up the best thing to do is just spend time with yourself again. You just left one painful relationship so why run right back into another. Work on yourself.

In my personal experience, rebound relationships have the potential to work. Although this may not be the case for every person or every situation, it can't be said that it will never work out! Every relationship is different, and people need different things at different times, and sometimes a rebound relationship brings together two people who may need each other at that time. While I'm not currently in a rebound relationship, I was in one previously that lasted for multiple years and meant a lot to me. I'm still close friends with that person and they are a significant part of my life. In my opinion, that relationship worked and I'm so glad that I had that experience.

Rebound relationships are not always doomed to fail simply because they are "rebound relationships". However, that being said, it can be challenging to make a relationship work if time and effort are not expended to evaluate why previous relationships have not been completely successful. That may mean taking a complete self inventory to see whether you contribute in any way to any type of relationship dysfunction that leads to the dissolution of relationships. In other words, if you hop into a new relationship super quickly, you may not have learned anything to make the new relationship more successful than the last relationship.

I think that rebound relationships are not the greatest of ideas, I feel that instead of jumping straight into a relationship as a ''rebound'' that instead you should try just taking time to heal and process the breakup that was prior, you have to take time to heal because if you dont, there is a good chance that you could hurt or get hurt during this ''rebound relationship.'' Sometimes rebounds may even help us feel good about ourselves however it in my experience always ends with if not both people getting hurt then usually at least one person out of the two involved ends up hurting or feeling used, When going through a breakup I have learned the best way to heal from it is to process it and take some time to reflect on it and see what could have been different and then i take what i have learned and use it to try and improve myself when i am ready to enter a new relationship but i do usually give myself a few months before even looking.

While this may be a rather uncharitable way to look at things, it’s hard to deny that this accepted, received view of ‘rebound relationships’ can come with various risks. The biggest risk is that the new relationship is simply being used as a way of avoiding emotions and feelings bound up in the previous one - that, by finding a new partner quickly, the person in question is trying to avoid the pain of breaking up and the sensation of uncertainty that can follow. The problem here is that these feelings often have a way of working themselves out anyway - and that can create instability in any new relationship. Another risk can come from the way in which rebound partners tend to be chosen. While the popular perception of rebound relationships is that the person in question chooses a new partner at random, the actual pattern can be more problematic. It’s not uncommon for them to choose a partner who is very, very similar (either physically or personality-wise) to their previous one - or someone who is totally opposite.

When it comes to a rebound relationship some of them do work, some of them don't. It's honestly different for each person. For example, my rebound relationship helped me so much from all the pain I was feeling and it actually lead me to stay in a relationship with my now fiancé. We didn't except for it to happen but it did. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for some of the other people I know. They have tried to have a rebound relationship but they were too emotionally attached to their ex partner that they weren't able to forget about the pain from their past relationship.
