Rebound Relationships? Good or Bad?
Posted By on November 12, 2009
Is there really anything worse rebound relationships? You’re just moving on, right? No harm in that. But upon closer examination, there may be a lot wrong with that.
If you have been involved in deeply intimate, deeply intricate relationship, it is super critical you give yourself enough time and space to process the old relationship before you even think of moving on. Otherwise, you are dragging around old baggage.
Physically you are in space. But you find yourself allowing your thoughts and emotions to drift back to a different place. This is because you have not processed the old relationship. It still occupies a strong presence in your life.
You need to ask some serious question before even thinking of getting involved with someone who is coming from an intricate past involvement or who has a history of rebound relationships. What was the extent of your former association? What amount of time has past since you last saw them? Where do see us going, as a couple?
What makes rebound relationships so alluring is they allow you to enjoy the easy stage of a blossoming romance. Very few troubles are encountered here. It is all lightness, laughter and love. But, as we all know, stage two lays just ahead. This is where the mettle of your new relationship will be tested.
If you find yourself in one of these rebound relationships, or if you are about to enter one, purposely slow things down a tad. It is not going to hurt anything. Be cautious. Ask questions, both of yourself and of your new partner. If the new involvement has value, it can withstand some scrutiny.
We only get from life what we demand of it, and rebound relationships give us some of the most difficult emotional turf we have to negotiate. Ask tough questions. Both of yourself and of your new prospective partner. Don’t allow yourself to be used as an emotional pillow, to be thrown away after a good night’s rest.
It would be good to be honest with yourself when it comes to the potential outcome of these rebound relationships. Often, they fail. That doesn’t mean the are guaranteed to be unsuccessful, but know the place you are about to enter. “Caution” is the word of the day.
