Why rebounds rarely ever work

The idea of rebound comes from the pain of a breakup. As people always agree, the sex is off the charts and it is a way of getting back at their ex. However, it is only an illusion. The shocking truth is that any rebound relationship is doomed to fail.

Rebounds seem like an amazing time but it causes more harm than good because, emotionally, you are still in a confused state. You need time to heal from a breakup and rebound sex isn’t going to fill up the void but will end up making you feel worse about yourself.

You will agree with me that it is indeed a lose-lose outcome. Let’s reason it out; you either enjoy the sex with the other party or feel guilty afterward or you don’t and feel even worse than you already do.

Instead of jumping into another after a breakup, focus on “you” for a start and your needs. A new relationship isn’t what you need at the moment. Focus on appreciating the good already present in your life.

You need some “me” time to do a proper healing before you deem yourself ready to get back into the dating game. Analyze your past relationship and make sure you don’t repeat your mistakes.

No one wants to be alone forever, I agree, but jumping right into a rebound right after your breakup will hurt in more ways than one.
