Humm...I think that most have been there at one time or other even if some don't admit it was a rebound relationship.. It might not was intentional done but it happens... All I can say is the one I could call rebound and it seems it was both of us that had just broke off with someone else when we met.. But one thing for sure he sure made me forget about my ex

Omg yes yes and yes .. I feel pathetic.. I think people make lifestyle choices and or cope the best way they know how. Calling anyone, even themself joking around, pathetic is extream and the same kind of abuse that also leads to relationships that often crumble crushing all involved or become involved later. That is more sad to me than calling a person names. That doesn't preclude calling some behavior stupid because it has s self inflicted suffering but not even sure I want to say what two consenting adults decide to risk bothers me as long as I dont have to be included in it.

I reread the rebound behavior list and I think about the people I have known go through a nasty break up and and "symptoms" at least some of them are so common as being predictable. In a perfect world friends and family will step up and intervein so some don't occur or become habitual but not everyone will listen. And for lack of any other lable I would call it being socially suicidal. It certainly has that effect if it becomes chronic.

As with everyone else, I have also been in both, and yes, they never did work out. However I was on the rebound once, a long time ago, and I knew that I was on the rebound, and just proceed to date. Had a blast forgetting my ex. Now that I am more mature, at least I think I am, lol, I know that true love will not happen until I deal with myself and the hurt and disappointment. Getting right with one's own life first is the only way I know of to achieve true happiness. Cheers hi Starhawk69, welcome to the forums and thank you for your response. Yes we've all been there one way or another. And like you, I also knew I was on the rebound but went diving in head first anyway. What we do when we were young eh? Oh wait, you're still young... unless of course the "69" at the end of your username is your age young,eh,? Yeah that's it, actually my birthday was yesterday, but yeah young, I like that ☺☺☺

Some people just don't want to things seriously, Star. It's their way of coping.

In my experience, my family and friends knew I was on the rebound but didn't say anything to me... maybe they talked about me behind my back. Would I have listened if they gave me advice? probably not, because at the time I just wanted to show my ex who was my world for two years that I could live without him... and I just wanted to be loved again. thanks again for your post, Star

As for my comment that you are still young... for me, everyone who is younger than me (and that is almost everyone here) is still young.

I have to say 1,2, and 5 are NOT signs of a Rebound relationship. 1...After so long of not dating, and you're over your ex. Sometimes you just want to have a date. 2....Say that date goes well and Sex does take place. That oxytocin feeling should come about and let you feel like you are a sex machine. 5....Hate to say it, but mood swings take place. They're normal, as any everyday interaction that could cause a mood swing. Hell, I have them daily. So with that said, this list is a crock of crap. I have been involved in a few rebound relationships. If I had known the women in question were on the rebound, we wouldn't have gone out. Edit was for a grammatical error of the use of the word they're as opposed to their.

The list is not carved on stone, scoob... "You are on a rebound relationship if you’re experiencing more than a few of these signs." So if you didn't agree with 1,2and5, did you agree with the other signs on the list?

So if you didn't agree with 1,2and5, did you agree with the other signs on the list? No, because 3,4,6,13 and 14 are the only ones that come in to play as a rebound. In my opinion. So that's only 5 out of 14 listed. If you see you're ex, and there was any true feelings for each other. Chances are there will be some reaction good or bad.
