AlexisMacabre Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 lol ok this might be dumb but what exactly is a rebound relationship and why do you think people do this after a break up? i know what it is but i need some more answers. thank you!
Berlington Bob Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Well some people on here would say its just any relationship you get in after you break up with someone to help you cope and not feel the withdrawl symptoms (like going on methadrone instead of heroin). But I have noticed that a lot of people consider it to be a relationship that you are trying to get serious in way too early after a breakup. So casual dating in that case would not be considered a rebound. There are many breakup coping books out there that will tell you to date people as soon as you can after a breakup to help you see that there are other people out there and to help you from being a recluse. But then they will have chapters called something like "Beware the Rebound"... I agree with this thinking and think it is good to date as soon as you can just tell yourself ahead of time to not get serious about the people as you surely will want to because of the emotional state you are in.
Author AlexisMacabre Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 i see, i was just wondering this because ive heard of a lot of people breaking up then moving to another person right away and im sure it helps out a lot of people but in my situation i just couldnt see myself moving on right away or starting a rebound relationship until im sure that the relationship prior is really over just so that the person im in this so called "rebound" relationship doesnt end up getting hurt like i did by my ex.
