Username37 Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Can rebound relationships happen about 6 months after a breakup or are rebounds only rebounds right after a breakup? Rebounds are usually after a breakup. That's because they miss companionship and all of that plus they are REALLY vulnerable and will jump to anyone that shows affection. If they wait 6 months, then it's unlikely a rebound because they had time to grieve and get themselves together. And by then (if they are the dumper) you'll be WAY out of their minds.
PegNosePete Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Rebounds can happen any time. The criteria for it being a rebound is not time-based. It is emotional. If you get with someone else before you're over your ex, it's a rebound.
L3stat Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 i agree with Pete, its all emotions i have been guilty of this. if your not over your ex and you are with someone else, then i would have to say its a rebound..
ohno89 Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 i agree with Pete - definately more emotional. Some people takes years to get over their ex so whether it's day, weeks or months, it still just depends on that person's frame of mind in relation to their ex.
ShannonMI Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 My case was "unique". My ex left me and started seeing another guy the next week. They hit it off, she eventually moved in with him, and after almost two years of dating figured out that he was gay! She left him in Februrary of this year and immediately started dating again, but all the guys were lame. So she called me, and in the end I served as the rebound for her losing the relationship that she left me for!! What if your ex cheated on you a week before he actually broke up with you? Then dumped you for the girl he cheated with? Is that a rebound or is it just that he's a no good piece of sh*t?
Author Iselia Posted September 8, 2010 Author Posted September 8, 2010 Well I'm pretty sure my ex is just now beginning to start something with her crush. She's had a crush on this lady since before we broke up. I know for sure my ex emotionally invested herself in this new lady before we broke up. Just wondering if it was possibly a rebound. I think the only reason they weren't together right from the breakup, is that her crush didn't want to step on my feelings. So much for that.
on edge Posted September 8, 2010 Posted September 8, 2010 I was rebounding for 6-8 months after my 3 year relationship ended.

Is that a rebound or is it just that he's a no good piece of sh*t? A bit of both id say but mostly a no good piece of sh*t. A rebound because he may have decided it was over before meeting this girl and is a coward and a no good piece of **** for giving up on you. Ive read your story and you are better off without him.
