mikeey Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Just wondering whether or not my ex is, by definition, involved in a "rebound relationship". She started cheating on me about 3.5 years into a 5 year relationship with a guy from another city. We carried on for another 1.5 years until I learned about what was going on. She's still involved in this "long distance relationship" and interestingly enough she wanted to remain friends with me up until I put an end to that. Is this a "rebound" relationship for her?
Breakupguy12 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I think that that's something she'd need to answer. Without knowing her thought process, it's tough to say whether her new guy is a rebound or not. Normally, rebound relationships begin after the previous one ended. To me, it sounds like her relationship started with the other guy when you were still together, so I'm not sure that should be categorized as a rebound.
delajoonal Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 i think that is just a plain ol' A...??? i am thinking rebound is a R that commenses directly after a break up, more of LTR, M, etc... u know, like did..LOL...ok, so not funny, but if i don't laugh i will cry.. i am going to check back, as this is really good OP/? and i am curious as to what others will say? take care...and sorry this happened to u...getting cheated on and dumped is NOT fun..it hurts incredibly bad:sick: my xh had an EA on fb and then left me for her..after a 15 yr marriage... so i know...sorry again:mad:
Author mikeey Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 I'm sorry. What's an EA? Just wondering.... Yes, none of this stuff is very fun at all....and yes, it totally devastated me....but I've had a good 4 months to deal with this thing and I get stronger every day.....Come to think of it, if I hadn't stupidly become "friends" with her after, I would probably be healed or very close to healed today. Live and learn right? Thanks for your hugs Dela! Big X back!
