Did you have a Rebound Relationship afterwards?

I'm just 2mths post divorce, but I've been separated since the beginning of the year. Anybody have any transitional relationships? I'll share my details later lol.
 
I took almost a year to myself with no dating/sex. I looked within, made changes and started dating in the spring. I am involved with a man now. He wants us to marry. I love him very much. Prior to him, I had some stories. Some funny, some heartbreaking. But nonetheless, I do not consider any of them to be rebound relationships. It's not fair to anyone.
 
No. It's only been four months since my divorce was final, six months prior to that we seperated and I don't plan to rebound date at all. I MIGHT be ready to start dating again next year, but I have three small children so I'm in absolutely no rush at all. My focus is on me & my children right now.
 
Well I've already had a mini one I guess. It was perfect and can't think of another way that I would've gotten to the next step. Really it was more FWB w/ some good emotional support. I said I wouldn't date seriously until the end of the year. There's someone else that I may connect with on an emotional level; think it'll still be more of a transitional relationship tho.
 
I did the rebound relationship, six month after my seperation and after 2 month's, it ended. I stopped dating for almost a year after that. I will admit I did see my "in between" guy a couple of times, but I would never make him my man, so that was alright by me and him.
 
I was not emotionally ready for a relationship but still got involved in one anyway. A lot of things happened that would never have happened if I was thinking clearly. It lasted near 1.5 years and took a good year for me to heal and forgive myself.
 
I'm not sure I would call it a rebound relationship but it was very helpful for me. I met this man online and he was everything that he said he was, which I really appreciated. We talked about two months on the phone before we met in person and I enjoyed the companionship. It lasted about two years and I ended it because I didn't want anymore kids.
 
I dated someone right after my divorced was finalized and we were together on and off for over four years. It ended just recently and it feels terrible:nono:

I feel worse now than when I got divorced. My heart was really in it and I was hoping that this would be it.
 
Candiel: Girl I'm so sorry; I can imagine how you feel. It's such a quick emotional connection at that time that can go so deep. Why did yall end?

And Tibb: So yall had a real relationship forreal and was talking about kids. If you wanted kids yall think yall would've gotten married?



Imma PM yall

Im happy to read that you are happy and have found love :-).
 
I did have a rebound relationship a few months after my marriage ended. This was a few years ago. At the time I didn't realize it was a rebound relationship. We stopped dating after maybe 3 months, because I just didn't feel like he was the guy for me.
But to this day, 5 years later, he is one of my best friends.
 
i'm dating now, been divorced for two months and separated for 3 1/2 months. this isn't a rebound relationship at all. i've been over my marriage a long time ago. i'm glad this person is back in my life and everything is going great so far. he motivates me to move forward for myself and my children. i am more happy than i have been in the past 6 years.
 
I did. Pretty much right away after xH moved out. It lasted a while, but he turned out to be strange...however, he gave me a glimpse of how men should treat women, how women should feel protected and nutured and safe. I didnt have that the entire 20 years of my marriage and am so grateful it happened so soon after my separation. It actually gave me hope.
 
Nope. I waited 5 months after I divorced to start dating. This was after I went through several months of counseling.
 
many many years ago I was in a relationship with a newly divorced man. He was very clingy and wanted to marry me. I couldnt see it. I didnt understand why he wanted to move so fast. I eventually broke it off because I was uncomfortable to begin with.
 
I guess it isn't a rebound because we are still together 3 1/2 years later, but we reconnected (knew each other prior to my marriage) about 4 months after my divorce was final. We have had our ups and downs but I would be with him anyday over my ex...
 
I guess ... I'm about to marry my rebound relationship. It was over before we separated, xH and I... I met up with an old group of HS friends and rebound guy was there... this was 5 years ago. The divorce was long and drawn out... 2 years... but rebounder was right there with me and my 3 babies the entire time... he's so much better than my X... I still cringe when I have to deal with him, because of the children... He is such a worthless man- divorcing him was the best thing I've ever done.
My rebound guy helped keep me calm when my X was taking me through the worst drama. He has recently proposed and I gladly said yes. We're getting married next year... so I guess my rebounder is going to be my new hubby...
This is such an old thread...hahaha

@itismehmmkay - did things work out? You said you'd post your details later... I realize this thread is at least 3 years old now.
