Do rebound relationships ever work?

It depends. This person you rebound with might be a great friend to you and a source you can confide in. It really depends on the person. There's no right answer, you know what works best for you.

No I don’t think they do. I’ve purposefully not dated for years for that very reason. I’ve never seen a rebound work out.

It is hard to say. It is different for everyone. I was in a rebound relationship and I regret it. I was not clearly and ended up breaking up with the guy. I wish I had never been his girlfriend.

They could potentially work. It all depends on the effort that you put in the relationship, however they sometimes fail because the person is still interested in their ex.

As regards rebound relationationships I personally feel to be our best we need to rediscover ourselves. We learn in relationships to a way of being with a person and ourselves. I is always good to take some time out afterwards and maybe re evaluate what our personal goals are. What was the reason for our breakup. What we learnt about ourselves. What worked or didn't work for us. Make sure we are following a good plan to move forward in. Look at our lives ie living space, job, ambition, location, health, friends, hobbies, holidays. I would advise where possible to learn new skills. Anything that give you a reason to smile. All too often relationships stop us actually being the person we think we actually are. Learn to have lots of fun without getting involved with someone new before jumping into the dating water too quickly. Self love is the most important thing. When we have worked on ourselves we can look for a partner who is on the same page as ourselves. We need very little in life however love- trust- friendship- honesty- self respect- support are a few of my standards. However there are now right or wrongs things either make you smile or frown and frowning is draining- dramatic and doesn't create happiness.

There are various definitions of a rebound relationship. To me, a rebound relationship is one where one knowingly leaves their partner within 24 hours for somebody else. It is intentional. And these relationships rarely work, especially if this person has a history of doing this in the past. Typically, the one being left behind feels like the weak one when in fact the other person lacks self esteem thinking “ the grass is always greener…” syndrome. They lack something inside themselves hoping someone else can fill it. True rebound relationships rarely work. If after a breakup, you meet someone without a deliberate attempt to find someone, of course it could work. When love finds you, success can be very likely. But when you're on the hunt for love without looking inside yourself, disaster often follows.

Yes. I believe that rebound relationships do work. It is true that the reasons for entering the relationship were not right at first, but things can change and love can come into play. This vould mean that relationship would work. This doesn't happen often because of the unresolved feelings one may still have for one's ex, but it doesn't mean that it isn't possible for a rebound relationship to work. I have personally seen a rebound relationship work. In fact, there was more love in this relationship than in the original one and that made me understand that anything is possible. And love is very unpredictable.

Rebound relationships are tricky because as much as they can lead to a romantic connection, they have the potential to become unstable. If you still have feelings for your previous partner you may end up up with your new one out of spite, and this may project into your relationship. It is important to ask yourself if you truly like this person, if you are ready to dedicate yourself to them and forfeit any connection to your previous partner. If you are unsure take some time out to work on yourself and come to terms with your breakup before starting a new relationship, so that you and your partner can have the connection you deserve.

That depends on how you take it, its a real famous thing I have heard that to get over someone just get under someone else, if that is the cause then it probably not work as it is just a rebound, but if you really have a good connection with the person, love can happen anywhere anytime without a warning in that case it will work, just know if you want a rebound relationship to work don't take it as a rebound relationship, take it in a better approach if that makes sense, meaning not to get over someone but to be happy :)

Rebound relationships really aren't the best sometimes. You always need time to heal in a healthy way. Self care and healing is the healthier way to get over a relationship. Based on personal experience I wouldn't recommend getting into a relationship right after a break up. I told myself that I couldn't trust the person because of problems in my previous relationship. I had trust issues, I felt constantly hurt and took out my anger on them knowing at the end that they didn't deserve it. Guilt is something that none of us want to feel. So in conclusion , before getting into another relationship , take care of yourself first. Put yourself first so that when it is time to get serious again you have the confidence and you have strong will power. It all benefits you at the end because you'll then learn your worth.
