Phases of a Rebound Relationship

When dating someone for a long time, you’ll notice you’ve shaped aspects of your life around them. Maybe you have a set time at which you talk, or maybe you can only fall asleep when they cuddle you a certain way. In any case, when the relationship ends, you are left feeling lonely. This is exactly why people get into rebound relationships. They try to fill the hole in their life left by their previous partner. Since these types of relationships are not based on genuine affection for the new partner, you might wonder how long do rebound relationships last. Well, the truth is, that it can really vary. It could be that the person pining over their ex realizes that that they are not compatible with the person they are currently dating a few weeks into the relationship. But it is also possible what started out as a relationship to ease the hurt of a previous one develops into something real and lasts much longer. The length of the relationship depends on how fast it move through the phases of a rebound relationship. At the start, everything feels greatly. You are suddenly not as unhappy as you were about your breakup. You have someone new to distract you. However, the problem usually comes in the next phase where you realize you are not over your previous relationship, and you rushed into a new relationship without assessing compatibility patiently. These 2 reasons are primarily why rebound relationships fail. Unfortunately, most rebound relationships tend to end very soon. This is why being a rebound is very difficult. It can cause massive damage to your self-esteem to realize your partner was only with you because they wanted someone in their life and not because they care for you as a person. Our rebound relationship advice is to take some time after a breakup to process your emotions before jumping into anything new!
