When a serious relationship ends and you quickly begin another relationship, that relationship is known as a “rebound relationship.” You may think you are doing the best thing by moving on and finding someone else, but rebound relationships can be a recipe for disaster if you enter them too quickly or for the wrong reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n Here, learn why rebound relationships fail, and maybe you’ll reconsider <\/span>starting a new relationship<\/span><\/a> right after a breakup.<\/span><\/p>\n A rebound relationship isn’t necessarily destined to fail. We often hear that rebound relationships don’t work, but for some people, they do. One<\/span> study<\/span><\/a> found that people who entered a rebound relationship after a breakup were better off psychologically compared to those who did not enter a new <\/span>relationship after a breakup<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n That being said, if you enter into a rebound relationship for the wrong reasons or do not address any of the personal issues that contributed to your previous breakup, rebound relationships can certainly fail. <\/span><\/p>\n When rebound relationships don’t work, it is usually because a person rushed into the relationship to mask their grief over the breakup and hasn’t established a legitimate connection with their new partner<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Furthermore, rebound relationships psychology tells us that these relationships may simply serve a temporary <\/span>psychological purpose<\/span><\/a>. The rebound relationship boosts a person’s self-confidence and happiness because it distracts them from their grief over losing a previous relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n In some cases, the rebound relationship fails because a person simply uses the new partner as a “temporary fix.” So, even if people are happier in a rebound relationship, that doesn’t mean the relationship will last. <\/span><\/p>\n It is difficult to determine the success rate of the rebound relationship because each is different. Some people may enter into a rebound relationship just weeks after a breakup, whereas others might wait several months.<\/span><\/p>\n Some studies state that 65% of rebound relationships fail within six months, whereas others claim that 90% fail within three months. Some of this may be hearsay because it’s challenging to find a first-hand source on how many rebound relationships fail. <\/span><\/p>\n View this video for additional information on the rebound relationship success rate: <\/span><\/p>\n<\/span>Are rebound relationships bound to fail?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
