Guyouthere Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 want to hear rebound stories, did you hook up with a rebound? Did they make you miss your ex even more? Did you fall in love with them? I question whether or not what I just experienced as a rebound for her. I know she had recently left her ex, and kept talking about him. I gave her the benefit of a doubt because she did show improvement in moving on, and felt that she had genuine feelings for me. But you never know. Would we have worked out? Had she been normal, likely yes. But she wasn't. She had a lot of other issues. So its hard for me to say exactly what it was all about. 1
scooby-philly Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Sorry - I know you asked if anyone had success stories..... I don't, but I haven't been a rebound either. However, I have been with a serial dater and learned the hard way. I respect people who don't put up with being a rebound. But that very definition depends on so many things - maturity level & experience, the approach each person takes, the length of the person rebounding's previous relationship, etc. 1
mystikmind2005 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I married a rebound girlfriend! after 10 years tho she divorced me but you could not blame that on rebound! lol I think the important thing with rebound, the person rebounding needs space.... what i mean is, it is ok to date them, but give them time in between dates, so keep it to just once or twice a week, and don't make them talk with you every day, all these things. An intense brightly burning relationship won't allow them space to process the past, and that unprocessed emotion can cause a problem later on. 1
basil67 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I met my now partner of 23 years when I'd been separated from my ex husband for two months. I joke that we are the world's longest one night stand. Yes, we fell in love and now have a beautiful family and are very happy. No, he didn't make me miss my ex. On the contrary, he showed me how excellent my life could be without my ex in it. He and I broke virtually every dating rule there is and I wouldn't change a bit of it. 2

This guy is crazy about me, but im still stuck about my ex You need to process what went wrong with your ex and get over him before you can move on. What I left out of my story is that I was completely over my ex on the day I walked out the door. I think the reasons my rebound was successful was because I'd done all my processing while still in the relationship. I was able to hit the ground running. Had I still been angry and hurting about the ex, I'm sure the rebound would not have worked.
empresario Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Sure, it has. The question is, how long did it work? I dated a young blond for 10 months as a rebound. It worked at the time. It didn't work long-term.
