Do they last? I am talking about rebound relationships or relationships with affair partners. If not, why do they fail? Do you believe a person needs to learn how to be a single person again after the failure of a long term relationship??

I'm not sure what the question is, but for me, I believe it is vital to know who you are as a person and what you want before bringing someone else in to your life. Knowing this will help you to know that "I am ok alone" I know who I am, I know what I want and if the "Right" person comes along for the ride all the better.
Good luck!

Yes these relationships can last -- I do not necessarily consider it to be a rebound relationship though because usually when you get divorced the marriage is over and the hurt is already gone! No one can predict the future but you sure can have fun living day by day!!!

I went straight from a 16 year marriage to another partner. I think it depends on the type of relationship you get into and where you came from. My new fiance' and I have been together for 5 years. I had no need to be single for long, it's not what I wanted to begin with and my relationship now really allows me the freedom and encouragement to better myself inside and out of the relationship.

I think that generally people need to take a look at what caused their last relationship to break up before they jump into a new one. If they had certain habits/behaviors that were detrimental to the relationship, they need to make positive changes to improve the odds of a new one working better.
I dated a guy fresh out of a marriage and it didn't work out because he was still controlling, which is why he and his wife split. He admitted he had a problem, but didn't take the time to work on it before dating again.

Yes, its a crazy world out. Have a cooling off period and do not get serious with anyone for awhile. Rebound relationships are very hard to deal with because you are always comparing. Good luck to you.

Sometimes relationships fail, because a person needs time to reclaim themselves, and be getting in a relationship so soon, sometimes means that they are looking for love for all the wrong reason.

I was in the process of a divorce when I started dating my now husband.....we were friends for years before we started dating, and we've been together 5 years now...with no end in sight : ) I wouldn't call that a failure....I think everyone is different, and each relationship is unique. Each to his/her own!

Most relationships are based on trust,as long as trust is there,any couple can survive anything and everything.
getting out of a long term relationship : of course we need time to heal,before we give our hearts out again,we must re-educate ourselves the meanings of love and trust as to be the best we can. :)

why does it seem that everyone on YA is so narrowminded and stereotypical about this sort of thing???
you get what you give in a relationship.
there is no SET IN STONE way things will work out, or are supposed to work out, but when you approach a relationship with a predetermined outcome you shouldn't be surprised when the forecasted outcome happens!
love yourself then you will be able to freely love other people.
don't be afraid to put yourself out there.
