A rebound relationship can last from one month to a year depending on how much time you need to reach your realization. If you are in complete denial a rebound relationship may last longer than expected. Statistics say that men are more likely to rebound than women, because men find it tough to recover from break-ups.

Do people end up with their rebound?

New research shows rebound relationships are surprisingly healthy. Recent evidence suggests, in fact, that people who dive into rebound relationships get over their ex-partner more quickly and feel more confident in their date-ability (Brumbaugh & Fraley, 2014).

Is it a rebound or real?

Rebounds are about feeling loved; the real thing is about wanting to love. Every relationship is a rebound of sorts if it doesnt end in love. Youre either distracting yourself from the pain left from a previous relationship or distracting yourself from the pain that often is everyday life.
