People who are suddenly bereft of their long time love interest relationship are vulnerable to the instant gratification factor. In order to restore their self esteem and feelings of self worth, they are eager to find another individual who will supply the necessary verbiage and emotional stroking to eliminate feelings of worthlessness.

Suddenly, you’re willing to overlook some of John’s irksome characteristics, so similar in nature to that cad, Joe. You may even feel that John is a far more loving character, only because you’re on the rebound. Relationships which bear these signatures are doomed to failure. History is repeating, because you didn’t give yourself a time out. When a long term relationship ends, remind yourself that you don’t have to prove anything to your ex, just as he doesn’t have to prove something to you. Unfortunately, sometimes relationships just don’t work out. Rebound relationships are not the cure.

All relationships are a two way street. There’s give and take. Consider that your new love, John, may also be engaging in a rebound relationship. Whoa! Now there’s a mess in the making!

Realize that there is never an instant replacement for your former love, nor should there be. Rebound relationships are, almost without exception, a case of the blind leading the blind. Give yourself a break.
