Why are rebound relationships more complicated than normal relationships?
Say for instance, you’re a woman that just got out of serious relationship with a guy whom they thought they may marry. Only a few short weeks later the woman sees a guy from her past that she has known for the last 10 years, whom she’s never been attracted to and hasn’t seen in quite some time. Broken hearted and angry that her previous relationship has failed, the woman and the guy from her past begin dating quite heavily shortly thereafter, and enter into a relationship that would be considered a rebound relationship by definition.
Why are relationships, similar to this example, destined to fail? What makes these relationships typically fail? What makes these relationships typically work initially and then fail? Is it sex, entertainment, and distraction? Is it possible for a woman to shut down herself emotionally to her previous relationship and move on successfully so soon? If so, how? If a relationship built like this was to be successful and not considered a rebound, after how much time would have to pass in order to say it’s no longer a rebound and is now legitimate? When’s the first reality check for relationships built like? Lastly, what has to happen in order to legitimatize a relationship where the woman is on the rebound?
Thanks!

face it she doesnt like u
cuz both people are trying to change and thats not being themselves…
they fail because the same problem dat u had the first time u broke up is still there..it wasnt worked out and it lingers…Communication is the key if it’s not there forget it, sometimes it’s just not meant to be.
Firstly, I’d like to say that, as a woman, I do not believe in rebound relationships. I think that they have been created by the masses as a way of getting rid of pent up fustration and anger at the previous boyfriend, and then using the excuse that they were ‘on the rebound.’ ‘Rebound’ relationships are in my opinion, more likely to fail because people see the social stigma of being seen as on the rebound, and break up with the person through a combination of stupidity and peer pressure.
Look at it this way: if the attraction isn’t there in the first place, a woman shouldn’t date the person full stop. Even if they are angry at their previous relationship, it still makes NO DIFFERENCE. They are not acceptable, and can be hurtful to the other party involved. Getting into a realtionship like that is selfish and the person is only thinking of what they want, not what their new partner needs.
Reading between the lines, and I could have got this all wrong, if a woman won’t go out with you because she’s claiming to be on the rebound, I think it’s a load of crap personally. If she will go out with you, but you think she might be on the rebound then you need to consider the personal implications of getting in too deep to something that might not mean as much to the other.
Sorry about the little rant there, I really do hope that I’ve helped!
Rebounds never really workout because the person who just got out of a relationship is usually looking to fill a void
YES she’s still broken hearted and angry over the last guy
Broken hearted because she hoped by now they would either be making plans to get married or already married and making plans on how to decorate the kids room in the new house
Angry because she wasted time with a guy who didn’t ask her to marry him and she could have been free to date others and maybe one of them would have asked her to marry him and saying yes and they’re ready to send out wedding invitations
So just out of a relationship an along comes a guy friend she known 10yrs before she maybe be thinking DAMN IS THIS BAD TIMING OR A SIGN
Like is this the universe telling me he’s the guy I should have been with 10yrs ago and by now we may have been married with a family but now it’s too late
Or this might be another chance for me to make the right decision when it comes to my friend of 10yrs
If you want it to be successful it might be best to take you time and try to not expect to much from each other
Good Luck
