Rich is dating a new girl that he really likes, but within the last few months she got out of a long relationship. Rich is afraid that he is her rebound guy. Of course, he isn’t sure whether he is or not because he doesn’t know if he came directly after her previous boyfriend. For all he knows she could’ve been on a fair amount of dates since her last break up. Rich then started reasoning that in most instances we are all rebounds in whatever relationship we are in, so anyone being a rebound guy or girl is almost a farce. Do you think Rich has anything to fear? Does being a rebound even exist? Tell us your “rebound” experiencea below!

I have had rebounds before but the thing is I never really realized they were rebounds until after the relationship ends. Usually when I break up I feel the need to be with someone…anyone….so I find a guy. Then when things fall apart and I realize what I’ve done I end it. I know its not exactly fair to the ‘rebound’ guy but its not like I intentionaly dated him as a rebound. Everyone brings baggage into relationships. Who knows how it will effect you…I think its just the chance you take when you date someone.
I don’t think that the next relationship is ALWAYS a rebound, I was with my ex for two and a half years, and I just couldn’t handle it anymore and I broke it off, I then dated around, but never got another boyfriend until 5 or 6 months after my breakup, and we have been happily together for over a year, and we are happy as can be, and he is defiantly not a rebound. I think that once you learn from one relationship it will better others and so basically learn from the past and know what not to do for the next one, and that’s what we both did, so anyways, next relationship is not always a rebound =]
Everyone has that rebound guy or girl, its just how you enter the relationship on how it ends. I dated a rebound guy for 3 years and ended up with a beautiful daughter to show for it. I dont ever regret dating the rebound guy. Sometimes it just takes one guy/girl to show you that they are not all the same. Just make sure that you dont hold back if you think u might be the rebound, still give 100% to the relationship, that way you can atleast say you tried to make it work and wont regret not giving it a chance.
Forget the ladies, you would make a HOTTTT gay man!
Sure there are “Rebounds” but I dont see my grilfriend as a rebound. I dated my ex for a year and a bit. I finally got fed up with her shit and broke it off. 2 months later I met the girl I am dating now we have been going out for a year and four months. Our relationship is excellent, we even went to Europe together. I dont consider her a rebound girl even though I didnt date anyone in those two months before I met her.
The rebound person whether man or woman is the best.I have been the rebound guy, the sex was amazing. Think about it, she wanted to put out like there was no tomorrow. Wild passionate sex. So who cares if you are the rebound. It does’nt get better…you know your a rebound so go with it.If you choose to stay in the relationship, or create one, the sex will never be as good as the first week……admit it…..its true!
I think it depends. Who did the dumping? If she was just dumped out of a long term relationship and you are next… then you are the rebound. Sorry. If you dumped someone b/c you were ready to move on then the next person is not necessarily a rebound. It all depends on the persons frame of mind. If they were hurt in their previous relationship, than sorry to say, they are going to need a rebound person.
I broke up with a guy I was engaged to and a month later met a guy, he had just gotten out of a long term relationship, so we were both on the rebound, but really liked each other… We have been together now for 12 years and married for 7! Starting a relationship on the rebound doesn’t mean it will always be that way… give it a chance! I’m glad we did!
Rich, I know what you are going through. Been there, done that, but I can say this. I married my rebound after meeting him on deployment. One place you wouldn’t ever guess you would meet the one person that makes you feel special and loved everyday, even if you aren’t together everyday. BTW, we are in the Navy living is sunny SD, CA.
