Anytime someone leaves a relationship where they really loved someone and have feelings for them and they start going out with someone else to soon. What is to soon? If you still have feelings for the person who you had the relationhip with, it is to soon. We have to give ourselves time to really reflect and know how we feel and what we want. When we move on with someone else that fast, we're looking to take our pain away and looking for someone else to make us happy. It rarely works and we are setting in motions to sabotage our next relationship. We will often have false feelings that we love this new person becasue they make us feel better, but its usually temporary becasue at sometime or another we are going to have to deal with those painful heartbreaking emotions that we blew off by getting into a rebound relationship. Its always best to take time between relationships to gather our thoughts and know what we want. Its not fair for anyone in a rebound relationship.

My opinion of what exactly a rebound relationship is, is when somebody enters into another relationship too soon after ending one. This in most cases is a bad idea as the person leaving a relationship hasn't had the time needed to reflect and decide what exactly it was that they had go wrong in the first relationship and the reasons why. Thus history tends to repeat itself in the new relationship.

A rebound relationship is when a person goes from a failed relationship onto the next, to get over the first one.
The usually never work out.....

A rebound relationship is when you just broke up with someone & you feel bad about it so you start dating someone else immediately. ANYONE else. It doesn't matter who it is because the person who just went through the breakup is more focussed on getting over their ex than on the new person they are dating. It's very common, and most of the time does not work out.

To me, a rebound is jumping into an intense relationship with the intention of "getting over" another intense relationship.

Do you mean after a divorce? If so, I can only speak to my experiences.
When my divorce was final, I found that I needed a period of healing and self discovery before I got back into the dating world.

When your fresh out of a relationship and your with someone just to get your mind off the other person. Just using someone for their attention to help you forget.

It's a relationship that's all about filling the void that the last one left behind. Just about anyone will do....for awihle.

uh...jumping into a relationship right after you get out of a serious one so you can avoid dealing with your feelings.
