Rebound RelationshipA rebound relationship can be an important part of the recovery process of getting over a relationship. Think about a rebound in the true sense of the word; think of the rebound from a basketball shot. The shot didn't go in so it rebounds off the rim; as players focus on the rebound they quickly forget about the missed shot. Instead of being disapointed with missing a shot they think about the opportunity that a rebound provides to make another shot. Rebounds can be a distraction, an ego boost or a trap. Be careful how you use a rebound in order to get over and recover from a relationship. Bad ReboundsA Rebound Relationship can be dangerous if you are not aware that you are in fact rebounding.This often occurs after the ending of a long or emotionally involved relationship. You may meet someone soon after a break up and end up transferring some of your feelings from your previous relationship on to your new beau. Rebound as a DistractionThe fact is, if you are sitting at home by yourself thinking about Mr. X, your recovery time will be slower than if you are out with Mr. Y, even if you are not interested in Mr. Y.Seriously, by virtue of being in one man’s company it is difficult to constantly think about a different man at the same time. So, you if you need to take a break from thinking about your heartache, try hanging out with another guy. Rebound as an Ego BoostBreakups can be tough on the ego. You may feel rejected; you may feel you will never meet anyone as good as him.All of that can be addressed by a rebound “relationship.” You may have no intentions of seeing this man past Tuesday, but in the meantime it’s a good reminder that a) you’ve still got it; and b) there are other men out there.
