luvlost88 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I just thought I'd put this out there as general information. My ex and I broke up about 3 months ago and he started talking to another girl about 6 weeks ago (the rebound) They started hanging out many nights of the week and he completely cut off all contact with me. In the back of my mind I was counting down the days until his rebound would crash and burn and he would come running back to me. well, DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP!! of course his rebound with this girl crashed and failed the beginning of this week... but did it send him running back to me? NO! He just went and set up a OKcupid profile to meet new girls.. and still no contact for me. The bottom line is just because your exes in a rebound don't get excited that they will soon come running back as that is not always the case. I am sure I will hear from him again someday because he said he needed time and space, but I am not counting down the days anymore and just trying to move on with my life. I hope this helps someone out there who thinks the end of a rebound will bring their ex back... not the case. 2
Roses777 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I was thinking the same thing. She had a brief relationship and something happened and it crashed and burned. Did she return? Hell no! She added that she hated my guts to her profile and then found someone else. Its probably for the best that they don't return because when they have bad experiences after a split, they get bitter and wouldn't be fun to be around...
lvroflife Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 This is very true... However there are various factors that play into it. How did you treat them? How did the relationship go? What caused the break up? How you reacted to the break up? How you acted after the break up? There are others... However still doesn't mean they will come back. Keep moving on!! If they do come back deal with it then.
4everalones Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I think it depends on how and why the relationship ended in the first place? usually, the dumper experiences the "grass is always greener" syndrome. They go on a rebound just to find out that the grass isn't always greener. Most of the time, they do come running back. But do you really want them back? what would assure you that it workout this time? what if they leave again? But you are right, sometimes they are done for good and just want to move on. Sometimes, they want to come back, but their pride prevents them from doing so. Regardless of the reason they don't come back, the important thing to keep in mind is that they decided that their life is better without you in it. Take the hint and move on!
Roses777 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I am a firm believer that their lives may initially seem better because of the extra freedom but eventually it catches up to them. People that seemed great at first or problems that seem trivial can become bigger in time. Jumping from relationship to relationship is no good for anyone. People need time to breathe and recover before trying to find someone new. 1
