There is nothing wrong with a rebound relationship per say,but they can be risky.Some people are ready to move on shortly after a break up,and some need to nurse some emotional wounds.Only the individual in the break up knows if they are ready to make another commitment.

some would say that a rebound relationship has a negative psychological impact on a person because instead of "going through" the pain of the break-up, one jumps into a new relationship quickly and shoves all that pain away, and doesn't give one's self "time to heal." Of course it would probably only be some whacko (i.e., licensed/degreed counselor of some kind) or a complete ignoramus (like a gossip columnist or some well intentioned advice giving friend) that would say something like that.

hmmmm, love transference? How I be transfering when they are such polar opposites? How can I be transfering when they are different kinds of love? I guess I am deluded into thinking I have a much different relationship now, the past one had many great qualities. This one does too, but of a completely different manner, so tranference is not occuring...

There isn't anything necessarily wrong with being in a rebound relationship...as long as you recognize it for what it is and both individuals are upfront about what they are looking for out of the relationship.

If you have been used to one person for any length of time, and then have to adapt to another, it is dfficult for both of you. And when you come full circle to yourself, and realize you are handling everything less than well, you can get awfully dejected. Usually, rebounding is just a means of trying to get back to the relationship you just left.

"Rebound" usually means that one person is just using the other to have someone there instead of actually loving/liking the person which is why some people see it as wrong.

If you're just coming out of a relationship, you're carrying a lot of emotional baggage.You need to give yourself time to work through it. If you jump too quickly into another relationship just out of loneliness, all that baggage will come with you, whether you want it to or not. You'll very likely end up just as bad or worse off than before.

Rebound relationships are a guarantee that one of you will get hurt. Not worth it!

It really depends on the person who is on the rebound and what their mindset is. Some rebound relationships can be amazing and some can be pointless....yes, it really depends on the people involved.

It's kind of unfair on the other person unless you genuinely love them and are not just filling a void left by the other person.
