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!

I am in love with someone that is not as committed as I am. I am being treated like a mistress, not a girlfriend. He says he loves me and wants to be with me forever but his actions tell a completely different story. He ignores me unless he needs me. I know it is time to cut him loose but I need help.

I dated my ex for about 7 months. We had a good relationship, he seemed to be really in love with me and I loved him as well. However, he had a lot of insecurities during our relationship that made it difficult for both of us. Even though he had problems, I wanted to work through it. However, he ended up breaking it off with me anyways. I really wasn’t even sure why we broke up and I still had a feeling in my heart that he loved me. However, I found out that a mere two weeks after we broke up, he already had a new girlfriend.
I’m really confused. I can’t tell if he’s completely moved on (which is fine) or if he’s in a rebound relationship. Even on the day of our break up, he told me he loved me. We haven’t talked in 3 weeks. I don’t want to be with him anymore, but how should one deal with this situation specifically in terms of healing? Any advice is appreciated.

If you are in a rebound relationship with someone after being with someone else for 8 months and you basically started going out with this rebounder a week later then do you think it will last long? Typically how long? btw, this relationship is long distance and online (3 states away). And they are 15 and 16 years old. Thanks

The rebound relationship started a couple of weeks after getting out of a 8 month relationship. And it is an online long distance relationship between a 15 and 16 year old. How long do you think it will last? Oh and both suffer from depression and mild bipolar. Thanks
