Have you ever dated right after getting out of a LTR and it wasn't rebounding?

[Hopeful30]

Although its common to rebound etc etc.... have there ever been instances when you (and this applies to both men and women) were in a relationship but met someone else and had no problems getting out of your relationship and seeing that new person right away?

 

As in.... you moved on quickly and it wasn't rebounding? You were ready for the real deal?

 

Just curious. With me I was once in relationship and I emotionally broke up with him a while before I officially did (and I was ready to see new people even though it never happened).

 

I'm just curious if anyone has ever started dating quickly after a breakup and it was legit and without baggage.

 

Thanks!

I had a relationship with my ex for 5,5 years. She was officially a rebound. Just 3 weeks before I met her I was an emotional mess because of a break-up.

Best relationship I've had so far. Could've been the one, if some things would have been different. Mostly timing really.

So I think a rebound can work, just understand that its still a rebound in the beginning.

Without any details I will say that yes, I started a new, successful LTR within a few weeks of detaching from a loving relationship.....

 

But, this is not something I would advocate. It is very easy to convince yourself or be in denial that you are not carrying the baggage forward when you are indeed doing so.

I was dating within a month of separating from my wife of 25 years. Since things had been bad for years and divorce in discussion for almost as long, I was ready to move on by the time I moved out. Within 6 months I'd found the woman I've been with for nearly 14 years. I knew what I wanted in a relationship, having learned from my mistake plus from research and counseling.
