what is your take on rebound relationship? do you support this.i think its not right with whom the person is looking for temporary support after break up. i have seen this very closely in life. there was a friend. he had a break up with his Girl friend. later i was found that the break up was also temporary. he started expressing his love for another girl he was friend with. she rejected as she knew it was rebound relationship, not any true feelings. still the guy was not ready to accept it. I think its quite natural that after breakup people like to depend on and put head on a secure shoulder, but till friendship its ok. otherwise he/she is going to ruin another life. any input welcome.

I am one that just believes in being happy and when two people are together so long as they are honest with one another then it is good, we all need a lift at times and if someone else can give us that support then well and good but as i said so long as there is honesty.

its nice to be happy together. but in rebound when one person want to have a shoulder, it may ruin the life of other.

Subha, you recently gave me best response to a similar discussion about rebound relationship that you made 8 months ago. I've noticed you often repeat your discussions over and over again...like why is life so hard/ why am I so unlucky/why does everything go[em]ha wrong for me? Do you think you can forget your first love/will you be able to get over a former love? It is against the guidelines to do this...maybe you did not know. It is simply not fair to use the same idea over and over and just change the words a little. Try and come up with fresh ideas for discussions each time. Good luck!

hi subha! i don't think someone on the rebound should go immediately in a relationship. it would be unfair to the other person. he would be thinking of his previous girlfriend while he is in a new relationship. it wouldn't be avoided that he'll be comparing his previous gf to his new one and i'm sure it would create problems between them. however, if the new gf knows that the guy is on the rebound, and if she still went in the relationship with him knowing that, it means she is prepared for the heartache that the rebound can bring. she is determined to make the guy forget about his old gf and make him love her without him seeing the image of his old gf in her. but if i was the one on the rebound, i won't go into a new relationship because i know it wouldn't be fair for the guy. i would rather let time pass by first until i have forgotten my ex before i go into a new relationship again.

Hi there subha, I guess it depends upon the person. I have known several friends who have a successful relationship in their partners and that was their past story! Not all rebound relationship failed but, i agree some just tried to have it to escape from pain and try to pretend, that is why it never last!

I think that this is one relationship that could hurt you the most, especially if you have fallen deeply in love with that person only to find out that he or she is using you to fill up hi/her busted ego not really his/her broken heart. Otherwise if you don't want to get hurt try not to get into this relationship.

Yeah i absoultely agree with you. While in the process of recovering from a break -up, people tend to fall prey for the whole situation. They tend to become much more emotional and any1 who offer solace, they would think they r in love with that person again. I think the girl was wise enough to understand the situation, and firmly say no to him. I think the best way to deal through a break-up would be , just to set urself with some activity or the other, rather than indulging with some1 else.

Hi subha! I'm not against nor supporting this kind of relationship. But I believe that if a girl wants to love someone, whether from a rebound relationship or not, she must be ready as to whatever might happen in that relationship. Besides, probably a girl wouldn't know at first if she's entering into a rebound or not.
