I disagree.

Maybe in the past, it worked superficially for me - like a "bandaid". But, it never healed the earliest loss, abandonment, rejection, or shame. It only covered up the pain and stalled the grieving. And, boy, did I believe I had already grieved more than enough for a multitude of people in my life time. I guess I underestimated the depth of that emptiness I carry with me.

Nope, not at all. In fact, I don't think you should even start a new relationship until you are over the past one and have dealt with the issues that caused problems in the past.

Seriously though, rebound relationships never work. Been there once in the past, used it more for an ego boost.

I disagree.
I wouldn't want to start another relationship still entangled with emotions from the last. I wouldn't appreciate if someone I started dating hadn't become untangled themselves.
