Why don rebound relationships work?
I have been both on the rebound and am currently in a rebound relationship with a soon to be divorced man that has been ongoing for 14 months. First of all…It is difficult…but what is interesting is the time I “was” the rebound person, the relationship turned into a 15 year committment. The person who supported me, gave me plenty of space, care, and never tried to force me to do anything…after two years of recovering from my 17 year relationship, I fell in love with the man who had supported me…had he not been patient, constant, caring and supportive I am sure I would have found someone else…but he hung in there and it was a great relationship. I am now in the position of being the support person, and am trying to use the skills I saw from the man who originally was there for me… with the man I am currently with. I have given him space while his divorce is finalized and his house is sold….I miss him, and we have agreed to see each other only as friends for an occassional
