Rebound Relationships

[Daltron]

Do you think rebound relationships are a bad thing? Ie getting with someone soon after they have broken up with someone else?

Currently I am being asked out by someone who I know wants to enter a relationship, but he just came out of a relationship and I am 100% sure it will just be a short term, maybe few months rebound sort of thing. I'm keen for it, he seems keen for it, but I am not one to get mixed up in emotions, I just go with the flow, but he seems the total opposite.

Would you leave them to be or take up the opportunity, or have any similar stories?

(I attached a poll, I hope it works!)

As with absolutely all things: it depends. Everyone involved has to be on the same page for any relationship to work out, so obviously you need to find out what he's wanting from this and see if it gels with what you're after

Tbh I think it depends. If you are using the rebound person and the person doesn't know.. then that's really a bad thing to do. In my case, I prefer to suffer what I need to suffer and then go back to a stable relationship instead of just having rebounds, because I get attached too quickly.

I can't do rebounds I need the time to get over the person and sort of collect my thoughts and get my **** together. In think a lot of it depends on the person but I would think if he's just come out of a relationship his emotions could be a little raw?

Some people are different, if the rebound is because they just want to get over that person, it'll never work and will just hurt the other person more than you're feeling hurt (if that makes sense). If they left them because they just love you not them and you loved them back, then I don't see why not, it may work (unless they do that a lot).

It all depends on how you're both feeling I guess, like others have said already. Personally, I'd leave it for a few months and, if your feelings don't die down, go for it. If they do die down, one of you obviously doesn't want it as much as the other.

Depends what you want, to be honest. If you're sure the relationship will definitely end in a few months and you're both ok with that, then go for it. If you feel uncomfortable in any way at all though, don't do it 'cause it'll just end in tears.
