On the Rebound?

[SarahA]

What EXACTLY is a rebound relationship and how long do they last?? If they do

[Lixer]

I believe a rebound is a relationship with someone who just got out of a relationship. Basically they don't leave time for themselves to deal with or heal from any left over feelings. As for how long they last I don't know.

Can you be on the rebound if you done the dumping? Or is it the person that gets dumped?

[Lixer]

Yeah it goes for both, even though they ended the relationship they still have feelings that they should sort out before getting back into the dating scene.

Yer that's true, if you go on the rebound, you haven't fully recovered from the previous relationship, and tend not to know what you want or to do, so sometimes hit back and relive your stress and tension in the form of a "rebound". Which a lot of the time, just ends up confusing you even more and messing the situation up a notch higher
