My last relationship, which was a rebound relationship, did not end well.

He ended up being unpredictable & abusive to me, especially when I had difficulty getting over my previous ex, who was much kinder. It only took me nearly three fuckin’ months to realize that I’d made a huge mistake.

Don’t rebound, kids.

Eh, depends on the person. I straight up told the guy he was a rebound and he was fine with it.

Just be upfront and I think people can appreciate that.

I wouldn't recommend it but I also think people should try things for themselves before taking someone else's advice too seriously.

No one can fault someone for dating someone new the same night they break up. They should probably just be aware that they are a pretty garbage human.

It all depends on what time of person you are. Do you just have move on really quick? Are you truly in a proper relationship?

As for if you partner is having a rebound relationship with you, always be careful with it. Make sure they are upfront about it and don't see you as a mere substitute. Of course, you've got to be sensitive and understanding towards them in return as well.

Depends on the reason why you broke up. If two people did it because one had to study somewhere for a long time, then it is better to have space, and see what would happen with both their feelings over time. After a breakup full of screams and pain? Your heart will not tolerate it another time. It will only become an obsession, and obsessions are not necessarily desires.

Getting into another relationship simply because you're upset your last one failed is a terrible idea. After 8+ relationships I can say that they're frivolous anyway, it's better to find someone you want to spend your life with through careful deliberation, then marry them.

I've never been in a rebound relationship, but I remember when I broke up with my ex he went in one like a few days later and it was honestly really insulting, the thought that he could get over it so quickly.

Hmm, I think it is one of the least healthy decisions you can make after ending a meaningful relationship.
Just do some sports, drink a bit too much, have fun with friends et cetera.

It's something quite "teen-ich".

But well, if you're looking for meaningless sex, and it's something you need, I guess you should go for it.

i think they could work but it's incredibly unfair to the person you're rebounding with

If you want to rebound, have flings, but relationship is not a good idea.

I generally don't agree with them because in a lot of cases it's one person basically using the other for their own selfish needs to fix their emotional trauma, which then can become emotional trauma given to the person you're using when it ends.

I was a rebound to someone once.. It was one of my first relationships, so I was more naive. He always vented to me about his problems, or his ex, and seemed only to want comfort from me. He seemed to only talk about himself, and was way less passionate when talking about other people. Ultimately the way this relationship ended was I found out he had been doing the same thing with several other women, basically getting them to mother him, and then use them for sex. It really fucked me up being that this person was someone I use to view very highly, and gave him my first time, and many other first experiences.. So no, I don't agree with rebound relationships.

But there are exceptions, like if you tell the person upfront you're using them as a rebound. Therefore you can process it, and make sure to not make yourself too emotionally vulnerable if it ends. After me and that guy ended, one of my very close female friends got flirty with me. She had a very similar experience to mine with another guy, so me and her decided to be flirty with each other, cuddle, go on dates to restaurants and do cute things like that. We're not actually into each other romantically. But it's like we have a relationship just for fun, to help us both recover from the shitty people we were with previously.
