Rebound relationships? tearsrunoneway: PROS.. CONS?
Ive met someone but it is soo soon Im assuming it will be a stereotypical rebound relationship. Is this a bad thing? Why should I have to be alone if she isn't?
Re: Rebound relationships? BigRunner493: my ex is engaged to her "rebound" relationship, so either there is definite posibilities there or not wanting to be alone. unfortunately most of the people on the "other" side of the rebound are not in one themselves, so be careful and trust and be honest about your feelings and theirs'.
Re: Rebound relationships? ga_sunshyne: UGHHHHHHHH
Right now I would settle for any relationship....Just somebody to do something with and not sit around and watch the four walls all the time. Anything..walking, hiking, fishing....hell, I'd even clean their house and do their laundry if they'd hang around and talk to me!!!!!
Re: Rebound relationships? Emo: I am still with my "rebound" after three months and it isn't a rebound anymore... I tried to be nice to his feelings the whole time since he did fall for me more than I for him at first... and I was very honest and we talked a lot but I still hurt him in some ways, but overall he really liked me and was willing to wait for me to get over my ex and get my act together so he persued me a bit. At the time I wasn't sure if I would ever fall for him like he liked me, and I was honest bout that and we kept seeing each other.... and slowly after lots of talking and crying with my ex (which hurt my new boy at times) I started to get some closure and get over my ex.... and woah once I had freed up some space in my heart and cleared out the hurt and started to feel like myself again I realized this sweet guy who liked me so much was starting to mean a lot more to me. He treated me so sweet and always thought about what would make me happy and was appropriately appreciative when I did things to make him happy.... we talked and laughed so easily, etc.... so I fell for my rebound guy in a very non rebound way once I was over my ex.... but couldn't do that till I was over my ex.... I'd say go for it and be honest and who knows you could have some fun, or it could even turn into more......
Re: Rebound relationships? missycristin: Rebound realtionships really depend. Some people have 'em some don't. I have consistently been in relationships since I was 17. Pretty much one right after the other. High school boyfriend to college boyfriend, college boyfriend became fiance' who I left for ex husband, then I had a six month "party period" (b/c ex husband was a real jerk) then a six and a half year relationship that ended three days before I started seeing my current boyfriend. Were any of those rebounds? Who knows. If you want to go out and see people, I say do it. I would just be sure to let whomever know that you aren't looking for anything too serious too fast. Where matters of the heart are concerned it pays to be honest.
