Rebound Relationships - How To Make Sure They Work!

People often say rebound relationships don't work

. I don't agree as there are plenty of happy couples out there who met soon after breaking up with someone else.

So what defines a rebound relationship? Usually it is where someone starts going out with another person very soon after leaving or being left by a former lover. If you have met someone who seems to tick all the boxes you were looking for in a partner, I certainly would not dump them. Yes, they could dump you, but so could anyone new that you meet; so why worry about it. You could just as easily be the person they have been seeking.

Relationships stop working for all sorts of reasons. It is actually more common for two people to grow apart rather than separate due to an affair or similar reason. If your current partner split from their ex, they did it for a reason. If they had been together for a long time, they probably grew apart. Or they may have realised that once the initial attraction had worn off, they were not well-suited enough to sustain an enduring relationship.

If your new lover has just recently rejoined the single scene, you do need to be a little careful. But you would proceed slowly when dating any new person; wouldn't you? Try to find out why they split with their partner, but for heaven's sake, don't make them feel like they are being interrogated. Men in particular are very slow to natter about their feelings. If he doesn't want to talk about it, do not jump to the conclusion that he doesn't like you or find you stunning.

I would also recommend against asking to see a picture of the former partner. You do not want to start comparing yourself to them and it is hard not to do this when you know what they look like. If you are part of the same social circle, it could be even harder not to draw comparisons. If you don't do it yourself, you may find some of your mutual friends do. Try to discourage these conversations as they are unhelpful. Nobody knows what happened between couples other than the two people involved.

If you are the one on the rebound you need to be sure of your motivation for getting involved. Are you looking for a short fling or a long-standing love affair? Whatever you do, don't get involved with another man to make your ex jealous or for retribution. It rarely works and it isn't fair to play with the new persons emotions.

You may find, just like I did, that your rebound relationship never ends and in fact turns into the love affair of the century. We all need some more fun in our life so try to enjoy yourself with your new partner and see where it leads. Whoever says you should avoid rebound relationships is missing out on a whole lot of fun. I met my wife this way and we have three lovely children and are still very happy, ten years on.
