Double-Rebound Relationships...

[rediscovering]

Thoughts on these, please?

 

Any kind of insight would be appreciated.

 

Basically, both are dumpers. Is this still a case of a rebound?

 

I'd give more information, but I want to keep in general for now.

Lots of dumpers rebound because they don't want to be alone. As soon as they are out of one relationship they move into the next one.

Nobody wants to be alone just after a breakup, it's the hardest part and when you're the most vulnerable. Unfortunately, that's typically when we're more likely to make a bad choice in a relationship partner.

I've seen rebounds last and last though, sometimes for years with an end only coming due to normal issues (cheating, change of life plans etc.) I'm not sure the term rebound is always applicable. Who knows though, I've definitely rebounded and been rebounded with. Patterns arise, but there is no way to know if someone else is rebounding unless you are in the relationship with them.

Generally, the only way you can accurately say something is a rebound is in hindsight.

 

I met my husband about 2 mos. after a nasty break-up from my last bf....and my husband was not-quite-divorced from his first wife yet. (Both our previous partners had cheated on us)

 

Combine that with a few other things and if I was an outside observer to the situation, I woulda said "trainwreck" and "disaster in the making" and "rebound" and a few other choice things.

 

That all happened in 2001.

 

We celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary yesterday.

 

So, again, the only way to say something is a rebound (with the idea that rebounds are destined to be messy failures of some sort) is in hindsight after time passes.

I agree. Can't tell if it's a rebound yet.

Boy breaks up with girl on May 31th. This pair talks of breaking up during this period (May 31-June 6).

Someone claimed that this boy and the other girl were hooking up during this weekend (June 4-5)...

 

Then, the other girl who cheated on her bf breaks up with her bf on June 8th to be with boy.

 

They are still together to this day, so they've been together for 3 weeks going on 4.

 

Also, there was no cheating involved with the people they broke up with.

i get a bit annoyed on here where every other dumpee is eagerly awaiting the demise of the ex's new relationship and labelling it 'rebound' or 'GIGs'. Not every new sudden relationship is like that. Sometimes people move on quickly, sometimes they just find the person who is their everything.

 

I'm not denying rebounds exist but not every single time they don't.

Okay, first off, I am not waiting for the demise of their relationship. And if you read my first post, I had asked if this was still in the case of a rebound because honestly, I don't know what it is.

 

And sometimes, you can't make generalizations when you don't know the full situation with the part that I bolded.

 

This is a relationship at face-value, whether or not it lasts is not what I'm trying to ask, I haven't even mentioned or ask if they were going to last or not. I'm just trying to gain insight if there is such a thing as double-rebound relationships...
