We’re talking about rebounding this week. If you’re wondering if you’re in one we’ve got some tips. Now whether you are in a rebound relationship is a question that only you can answer. But here are some signs to look for: You started dating very soon after your previous relationship ended. You are not over your ex; you are still comparing your new partner to them. You are using the relationship to avoid dealing with your emotions. You are not being honest with your new partner about your feelings. The relationship is not based on deep compatibility.
If you are concerned that you are in a rebound relationship, talk to your partner about your feelings. Also take time for yourself to heal before you start dating again.
If you are confused in your current relationship and think it may be a rebound here are some additional questions you can ask yourself: Why did I start dating this person? Am I trying to fill a void left by my previous relationship? Am I trying to forget about my ex? Am I emotionally available for this relationship? Am I able to be fully present with my new partner? Am I able to share my thoughts and feelings with them? What are my expectations for this relationship? Am I looking for a long-term relationship? Am I just looking for some fun?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, it is possible that you are in a rebound relationship. However, only you can truly decide if that is the case. If you are unsure, talk to your partner and be honest.
