In response to "i define a rebound as a 'relationship' you start when you aren't over your ex. -- nm" by Andie

Right. I've never been in a rebound relationship, for example. nm

Posted by Dignan (aka Dignan) Jan 12 '10, 13:09

I imagine lots of people haven't.

(And I always *hate* it when people say "go sleep around!" as a means of forgetting a painful breakup.) nm - Dignan Jan 12, 13:11 26
- me too. i've never had the mental energy to have a relationship while mourning the last one. -- nm - Andie Jan 12, 13:12 25
  - I see a rebound as a instant gratification way to get some self-esteem back. Not saying that's wise, though. -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 13:24 2
    - But it's empty, and therefore counter-intuitive to this end. nm - Dignan Jan 12, 13:26 1
      - People do stupid shit when they are in the emotional depths (not saying that describes HK, either) -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 13:27
  - I don't think it's about finding another relationship... - Mel Profit Jan 12, 13:23 7
    - Right. Which is what I mean by "unfair to both parties." nm - Dignan Jan 12, 13:25 1
      - That's what I said! Dignan and I agree....? -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 12, 13:26
    - Hi! - Hotkiss Jan 12, 13:24 4
      - I'm back now. I'm too lazy to work that hard for extended periods. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 12, 13:27
      - uh oh, Mel.... - groiny Jan 12, 13:25 2

        *unzips* - groiny Jan 12, 13:26
  - I have found this to be true. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 12, 13:22
  - I am usually just thrilled to be free from obligations. - groiny Jan 12, 13:14 8
    - Then it isn't a painful breakup. nm - Dignan Jan 12, 13:15 7
      - define painful? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 12, 13:15 6
        
        The opposite of "thrilled." nm - Dignan Jan 12, 13:16 5
        
        so if you are the dumper, not the dumpee, you can not have a rebound? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 12, 13:17 4
        
        (and, yes, a dumper can absolutely have a rebound. I'm talking about your statement specifically.) nm - Dignan Jan 12, 13:21
        
        If you are thrilled to be free, and felt that your relationship was an "obligation," then your next relationship isn't a rebound. nm - Dignan Jan 12, 13:19 1
        
        I find freedom to be much easier than being in a relationship. - groiny Jan 12, 13:21

  - It's so juvenile. And unfair to both parties. nm - Dignan Jan 12, 13:13 2
    - who are you??? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 12, 13:14 1
      - *laughing* - Andie Jan 12, 13:16
  - me. three. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 13:13
