rebound relationship is something that happens when there is a breakup. in this case the person wants to fill the gap that is made by the breakup. so he/she tries to find a soul mate soon. may be he/she is having a friend with whom he is comfortable. he thinks that he can find the love he lost in her.It may not be true feelings at all. but he thinks so.

Its the state when somebody after breaking up from a relationship.Tghey feel very insecure and try to find love in others whom they can rely upon.But most of the time its not that real feelings.But that person wants a shoulder to keep head upon, a heart to love him/her again much more than previous one.

Generally a rebound relationship is one that occurs right after another relationship ends. Usually the party that was dumped or broken up with is the one most likely to get involved in a rebound relationship as they are usually feeling particularly vulnerable and want someone to take their mind off the pain of being dumped and need some validation that they are still a worthy person to be in a relationship with. For the most part, they are an unhealthy thing to do after just getting out of a relationship as you never really allow yourself to mourn the relationship and have a greater chance of hurting the person you involve yourself with when you realize you're still experiencing the pain a great amount of time later.
