Ex in a Rebound Relationship? 3 Signs It Will Fail

******

If you find yourself worrying that your ex is in a rebound relationship, then it’s understandable that you might be worried that your ex is moving on and that your window of opportunity for getting back together is quickly closing.

You may even be wondering if your ex is in a real relationship.

So, let me be clear here, that rebound relationships are not healthy.

If your ex has not dealt with their emotions from the breakup and truly allowed themselves to feel those emotions, then they are definitely in a rebound relationship.

No matter how hard you try, you cannot simply bury those feelings in a new relationship as a way to shortcut past the hard work of feeling them, resolving them, and processing them.

At least not without major consequences such as becoming completely emotionally numb.

Your ex will either become an emotionless robot or they will have to address these feelings sooner or later.

Now, don’t get me wrong, your ex may try to do many things to try to avoid feeling these feelings. They may do things such as displacement, which is what happens when your ex tries to “fast forward” the new rebound relationship to the point that it looks or seems like the relationship that they had with you. It’s not that this new relationship is “meant to be” simply because things are happening quickly. It’s just that your ex is not over you and they are trying to make their new relationship seem familiar and comfortable to them, just like the relationship that they had with you.

In reality, they are still very much in a relationship with you… just that you are not a part of that relationship.

That is the nature of your ex’s rebound relationship.

I know this sounds very strange and maybe you don’t even believe me, but I’ve been helping people with breakups for a long time now, and I’ve seen more than my fair share of rebound relationship and this is extremely common.

Fact is MOST relationships fail -rebound or not. Rebounds fail more than others because of the baggage they bring. Also most fail because there is an attempt to replace their ex, but they gravitate to the first person that throws them some sunshine. That's often someone jumping on an opportunity, not someone looking for an honest relationship.

Is it bad I cant wait for her to hurt him ? lol

Most rebound relationships don't lasts long because they're just using someone to fill the empty space in their heart after a break up. But never assume that your ex-current relationship is a rebound because there's a chance that he will fall in love with her. If he's already an ex, just accept and let go because there's more opportunitues waiting out there.

My ex's new BF said he loves her after 1 week. I lost a bit of faith for humanity and her because she believes it.

[thelads]

he was my first boyfriend and we were together for 20 months. things got messed up and he broke up with me. 2 weeks later he has a new girlfriend. and it just hurts to see that they seem really HAPPY and she is everything i couldnt be. god this is just so hurting

Who could someone get over a long term relationship in a few weeks? A few months maybe.

[celever]

My ex found a rebound that is much worse than me. Hurt me pretty bad.. Idk why I'm still looking forward to getting her back.. Something like this is unforgivable.

[MoniqueJay]

A couple weeks? Really? I don't think so maybe months

[Classifiedrichardwillett]

At least a couple of week!....a couple of months is more like it

[calliehume]

I think a few weeks is pretty fast too.

[carolloraine]

I ended things 3 weeks ago and finding the longer I'm away from him, the better I feel!
Thank you !

So I dated my Ex for almost 3 years, nothing was wrong with the relationship, she said it herself that I never mistreated her, she just started believing we are not right for each other. So within less than 3 weeks she is already seeing someone else...

How the hell are you supposed to know if they are talking about you alot?

[jackbravo]

My ex's "rebound relationship" has been going on 20 months now and she's still happy, lol

[matiasdvoskin]

Couple of weeks is no where enough time to grieve a breakup of a serious relationship

[MsterJamesJT]

My ex got into her relationship 1 month after she broke up with me.

1st week. He said he loved her.
1 month and 2 weeks. They were engaged.
2 months. They live together.
3 months is where they are now.

When I was with her for 2 years she was afraid of marriage cuz her previous ex would propose, threaten her, and used it to control her. Me and her had plans to move in together the same time he moved in plus they are already engaged.

To me it screams rebound. I know too they have 0 pictures together, no mutual friends, 0 interactions online (facebook or otherwise). She recently began seeking counseling and ive noticed the only times he messages her online is some sort of penis joke or sex position he wants to try.

So they rushed, he is crass and the opposite of me, and shes still mentally depressed like she was with me. I truly hope it ends because, even with her rushing wth this loser, Im still very much in love with her and want to give her the world.

For the dumper It might be easy to jump into a rebound relationship, but go no contact, guys, because I know they'll think about the good things about you after maybe 3 - 6 months. Only after that period I started acknowledging how good my ex was.

[MMm-lejj]

Couple of weeks for grieving ??? For long term relationships?

[marcusdiaz]

So me and my ex were together for 3 1/2 years. She immediately got into a rebound the day we broke up. They lasted around 4-5 months. Then she calls me one drunk night claiming that she misses me, and apologized for the stupid stuff she had told me. We talked for about a week, then she stopped talking to me out of nowhere. Only to realize that she went into another relationship a day later. I want to believe it's a rebound, but I'm having doubts. It's been a week since then.
