You can pretty much say that just about every single one of us has been in a rebound relationship. Rebound relationships are relationships that occur straight after a relationship with someone else, usually someone you love. You actually tend to find that a rebound occurs with someone that has just come out of a long or significant relationship.

So how can you actually tell if it is a rebound relationship?

Well, there are 2 main ways that you can tell by yourself if the relationship is a rebound or one of just coincidence. The first thing that will stick with you right the way through a rebound relationship and one you cannot shake off, is the constant thoughts of your ex!

You constantly think and pine for them even though you are in a new relationship. You also tend to compare the new relationship with the old one. You compare everything, from the way your new relationship is right the way down to sex and conversations. Everything is compared to your ex!

This is a sure sign of rebound relationships because it clearly shows you that you are yet to move on properly and the relationship you are now in is one of an attempt to get over your ex, this doesn't happen as easy as that.

The second way to tell if you are in a rebound relationship is to look at how you act in this relationship. Many people that fall into a rebound relationship will not act how they usually act in a normal relationship. You may go through the relationship with the impression it isn't going to last or that you are not to bothered whether it does or not. The main reason you are in the relationship is to try and get over your ex and because you need the support of love to do this.

Rebound relationships almost NEVER last! The thoughts of your ex and the comparisons made throughout will always bring your ex out on top even if the break up with your ex was one of a horrible situation. Your ex could have even cheated on you and you will still rate them higher than the new relationship.

This is the sure sign way of working out if your relationship is one of a rebound. They generally never last and are just there to offer comfort and support on fixing that broken heart!
