What The Heck Are Rebound Relationships?
Rebound relationships offer you a chance to get on with your life, put the past in its place and enjoy someone new. Only one thing: it's not all that simple.
Rebound relationships offer you a chance to get on with your life, put the past in its place and enjoy someone new. Only one thing: it's not all that simple.
If you have been involved in deeply intimate, deeply intricate relationship, it is super critical you give yourself enough time and space to process the old relationship before you even think of moving on. Otherwise, you are dragging around old baggage.
Is it remotely fair to your new interest to know that emotionally you are in another place, thinking of someone else? In body you may be in one place while your heart exists somewhere else.
You need to ask some serious question before even thinking of getting involved with someone who is coming from an intricate past involvement or who has a history of rebound relationships. What was the extent of your former association? What amount of time has past since you last saw them? Where do see us going, as a couple?
Rebound relationships can make you quickly forget about the past. Chances are that the former involvement had moved beyond the romantic/lovey-dovey phase into the real meat and bones of what make up a couples' life. Problems are replaced with fun and laughter. Everything seems easy. That's what makes rebound relationships so intoxicating.
If you find yourself in one of these rebound relationships, or if you are about to enter one, purposely slow things down a tad. It is not going to hurt anything. Be cautious. Ask questions, both of yourself and of your new partner. If the new involvement has value, it can withstand some scrutiny.
We only get from life what we demand of it, and rebound relationships give us some of the most difficult emotional turf we have to negotiate. Ask tough questions. Both of yourself and of your new prospective partner. Don't allow yourself to be used as an emotional pillow, to be thrown away after a good night's rest.
Be realistic when it comes to these rebound relationships. Know them for what they really are. Know that when entering into one, the odds of flourishing, healthy, long-lasting involvement is not very good - although it can happen. If you do that, you'll at least be aware of the hazards and realistic about a possible outcome.
