Do rebound relationships ever work?

They possibly work if the couple broke up over something minor and not something major as a mutually dislike of each other's personalities. I have seen them work but only occasionally.

Of course they could work, because theoretically the two people involved might end up being perfect for each other. But it isn't a good idea to take the risk. By definition, a rebound relationship is not entered into because of the desire of the people for each other, or because of any attachment they have. Hence, it is like playing Russian roulette. You might end up getting somebody you love, or you might end up getting somebody you don't love, and risk having them be attached to you and getting them hurt. Also, you might end up getting attached to them, and you may end up being hurt when they don't feel the same way. After a break-up, the best thing to do is to fully get over the need to still be with your ex partner if it is definite that they will never come back. Then go looking for new relationships.

I believe that it is different with any rebound relationship, it comes down to the two individuals involved. Most of the time when we choose to have a rebound relationship, it's a rebound for a reason.. so most likely we are not intrested to be anymore more. But in some cases it can turn into something more.

Every relationship works to some degree or another, the real problem is for how long? When a person is starting a rebound relationship usually the one who is rebounding is suffering, which can be an opportunity for a hero to step in and save the damsel (or guy) in distress. The problem comes in is AFTER the rebound heals from the bad situations. Sometimes it could be a complete personality shift, and our hero, doesn't fit in anymore. So, it could be a tougher situation to work through and adjust to, that's why the rebound relationships usually do not last that long. However if both could adapt to the safer level, and our rebound person can accept the hero, and the hero doesn't need to rescue anyone else anymore, then sure it could work..

Sometimes. It just depends on the person. Some people still havent gotten over their ex and get too emotional and cant handle moving on from there former loved one. That is why you must move on then when you feel ready you may start a new relationship!

You may get lucky, but as a rule they are not destined to work or not. If your mentality going in is simply to avoid thinking about why your last relationship didn't work, you are not likely to have resolved the issues that caused a relationship to fail. That said, those issues are likely to arise again.

If you and your partner want it to work, yes. I reckon it'd work if you and your partner tried! :) good luck

No and if they do it has a lot of problems, relationships aren't suppose to be with people who are not even your first choice, you have to love them to want to be with them thats how it works

I think it all comes down to the person. Whether you have a connection; whether you have feelings for them; whether you like their flaws. If you ticked yes on all of it then why not? A lot of people breakup within months after planning to get into a relationship and a lot of people actually end up spending years with the person who they thought were simply just a rebound. So doesn't matter if it's a rebound or not, if you like them then things might just work out in the end for both of you. :)

It's different for everyone, but usually no. You're still upset about your past relationship and moving having a rebound relationship will probably end up with one of you guys being hurt. If you want to go for it however, you do you.
