Do rebound relationships ever work?

Rebound relationships are tricky and I am not exactly sure what your definition of a working rebound relationship is. Meeting other people after a breakup is always hard and tricky. You should consider asking yourself these questions before getting into another relationship. 1. What is my goal in this new rebound relationship? 2. Am I ready for another relationship? 3. What is my relationship with myself? Do I like myself? Do I feel confident?. Your personal answers to these questions could help guide you in the right direction. Breakups are different for everyone and so are rebound relationships. Making sure that you are happy is the most important thing.

In my opinion, I think rebound relationships can sometimes "work" depending on the context. Sometimes, after an especially hard break up, all you need is a kind of distraction from the ex. A rebound relationship can provide this distraction, although that is not always a healthy way to get over someone. Rebound relationships also depend on the person you are rebounding with. If you went through a break up and started dating the first person you saw, this may not be the best idea. Rebounding is also commonly used to gain jealousy from the ex, which can lead to the new relationship not being as meaningful, and this can be hurtful to the person you are rebounding with. So overall, I think rebound relationship can work under the correct circumstances.

A relationship based on mutual admiration, respect and love works. And it needs a lot of nurturing and care. So it is only natural that when born in the midst of a closure or as a substitute for another one, relationships may have a slim chance of working out. Having said that, every relationship is in and of itself unique in many ways. So what may or may not work is never definitive. But either way, rebound or not, if there is love then there can always be a way. Might not be an easy way, but a way nevertheless.

I am going to answer this question as simple as possible. It really depends on the "jump" from relationship to another. If you're done with the past and plan on firmly sticking to that then getting into a new relationship that last is plausible. If you're starting a new relationship with old feelings yes it will fail. Why? Because while your ex may give you time to cool off, if and when they decide to contact you again you will most likely respond and engage with the conversation. I hope this helps you determine whether or not to follow through with that rebound.

For me it personally did not. He asked me for a second chance so I decided to do just that. I fixed the mistakes I made the last time, such as having too many expectations. Yet, it didn't work out. He acted like he was doing me a favour by eing with me and ignored me the whole time we were supposed to be together. He indirectly ended up reminding me why I left him in the first place and that I had taken the right decision earlier. But the good thing about this experience was that it reminded me that I have good instincts and I should trust them.

From personal experience, I can say that not everything you think is good for you is necessarily good for you. I'm terms of a relationship, you and that person ended things for a reason. I think it's healthy to acknowledge the relationship's past, but by moving forward you are learning to grow beyond that relationship and the experiences that came along with it. If I had got back together with my partner from a previous relationship I would've never met my partner today. Despite the times I had with my ex, I feel better knowing that I have developed and matured with someone new.

Anything is possible. Rebound relationships are obviously influenced a great deal by the high intensity emotions of a recent breakup. Still, that does not mean that you cannot find a person to love genuinely and who genuinely loves you in return. It's a very confusing time and patience is necessary to heal the wounds and untangle your thoughts and self doubts. In the end it can become a long lasting commitment as you clear away the normal emotional struggles by working together. Usually, the hardest part of rebound relationships is figuring out, "Do I love this person? Or do I engage in this relationship because I just fear being alone?"

Every relationship works only if honestly and clarity are present. If you see your relationship as rebound and admit that to your partner, it might work. If you pretend you are committed when you are not, it will not work, even if it lasts long. Try to communicate the way you feel about your relationship to your partner to see if you are on the same page, and to see if your relationship can last. Do not let the label "rebound" determine your attitudes toward your relationship. Rather, treat it as any other relationship that needs communication and honesty to thrive.

Break-ups can be devastating, distressing, cause unhappiness, and cause feelings of loss or grief. Seeking comfort can actually be part of the healing process. Rebound relationships are those that begin shortly after a previous relationship ends and before you've let go of all emotional ties to your ex. More often then not, these are simply a distraction from feelings of loss and regret and are said to be a self defense mechanism. Studies have show rebound relationships can actually be healthy for you if you enter them with the right midset. If the goal is to move on with your life in a positive way, rebounds are potentially healthy for you. Evidence from Brumbaugh & Fraley (2014) shows that rebound relationships help people feel mroe confident and recover from their loss faster. This is caused by severing the emotional attachment for their ex when starting a new relationship. This same study showed that decreasing the time between a break-up and new relationship actually yields greater well-being, higher self-esteem, and deeper respect for their significant other.

do rebound relationships ever work? personally, i think yes. i've been dating a guy for almost a year now and we had dated twice before this. i never believed in second chances but i do believe people need time and i believe, in order to work out, relationships need to have trust, communication and last but not the least, efforts. relationships need time to click. everyone makes mistakes but in the end, it always comes down to if you're really ready to face the world with that person? it's not about how many chances you give someone but it's about the time and person you choose to be with.
