okay so..... lets talk about rebound relationships....

I went from a 6-7 year relationship with a woman who was 10 years older than me very controlling and didn't allow me friends and in less than a week from leaving her I was swallowing my sorrows among other things with a young man 3 years my junior who had not known a womans attentions previously. I've been accused of faulty thinking based on rebound. I have not been single since I was 15. has my entire dating life been rebound???

any other thoughts?

It's hard to say....if you learned what you wanted and needed from the first relationship, maybe this one isn't so much of a rebound as a fresh start

I went from a man 12 years older than me, through 4 or 5 other men one woman and then I broke my only two rules to be with my darling. my rules no one younger than me and no virgins. as of yet I don't regret it. I'm hoping you're right sweetgirl!

Rebound or fresh start, it's always a tough call. As long as you're not transferring negative feelings from the previous bad relationship to the new one, or taking unresolved anger out on the new lover (two sides of the same coin, IMO), it's all good.

Love the one you're with.

My first major relationship lasted 3 years, and I grew to hate his neediness...this relationship (which is pretty much over, except for selling the house and filing papers) taught me that I need to be with someone who adores me and wants to make me happy (and fulfilled). I'm hoping that those lessons will help me choose better next time, so I vote for fresh starts

He's one of the most accepting people I've ever been with. I'm not ashamed of my body and other imperfections with him. maybe its because he has nothing else to compare me with other than movies and magazines and he knows that all make believe but it's wonderful, this is the most low-pressure relationship I've ever been blessed with
