Rebound Relationship Syndrome

December 12th, 2008 by hlgiles

Your response smacks of the rebound relationship syndrome. If Joe just dumped you, or even if you dumped him for good reason, suddenly you are faced with a void in your life. You went with him for a couple of years. Every Friday night you went for pizza and a movie. He brought you flowers on your birthday. You didn’t even think about spending a weekend alone or being without a date on New Year’s Day. Even if Joe was the insensitive clod you now deem him to be, he did provide a certain sense of security. You need to take a long hard look at what this cad did for your self esteem. Did he serve to mask certain insecurities of your own? Did you feel so needy, in the end, that you fell for the rebound relationship to recover a modicum of self esteem?
