Why a rebound relationship will do you more harm than good

When someone newly gets out of a relationship and decides to get into another one either because they don’t know how to be alone, or because they don’t want to, such relationship is known as a rebound relationship.

When heartbreak happens, it is often better to give one’s self the chance to heal and come to terms with what has happened.

Getting straight into another relationship just after one ended isn’t always a good idea.

So you know what rebound relationship means, and that it’s usually a bad idea, but that’s not all there is to this kind of relationship.

Below, we list seven more things you should know about this:

1. Rebound relationships can begin with a lot of baggage that is left over from the previous relationship.

2. It is always about the ex. Not about you or your new partner.

It is always about that former partner to whom you want to prove that you are lovable, or that you have moved on.

  SadnessRebound relationships most times end in more disappointment

3. They are often temporary.

4. Where one of the partners realizes later that he/she has only been used as a rebound from a relationship, it could lead to another breakup.

 It is better to feel the pain of a breakup than try to rebound into another.

One is then forced to ask; what, then, is the point of the rebound relationship?

5. Rebound relationships are more damaging than therapeutic. It is better to let yourself feel the pain, loneliness and emptiness and then move on from that point, knowing you have shed yourself of all negative emotions and your next-step is actually “moving on.”
