So, your ex is in a rebound relationship, you want them back, (or maybe they haven't left yet and
are unaware that you know what's going on) - what can you do?
A rebound relationship is where a partner to a love relationship feels suddenly dissatisfied and, in some cases,
wants a quick, intense "fling" to get some passion back into their life, or it may be that they've just feel like they've had enough - the original relationship has lost it's
passion and their spectacles have lost their "rose tints" - someone else has come into their lives and
"whisked them off their feet", and now is the time to make up for time lost. Or it may be that you've dumped
your partner and they are dating someone else to get over you.
Either way, they're dating to deal with losing you...........
Understand that it doesn't matter whose fault it is. It doesn't matter who ended the relationship - the only
thing that counts is if you are really in love, because almost any relationship founded on love can be saved.
You need to take time out (stay with me). The end of a relationship is emotionally draining, maintain a sense of
perspective and consider the following:
You have two options - option one, enter into a rebound relationship yourself (see our rebound relationships article ), and all the problems that could make
things worse later......
Or, option two, (recommended), take time out and consider the following.
The end of a relationship is emotionally draining - you need to give yourself a break, rather then rush into a
rebound relationship.
The key to getting an ex back lies in the four stages of a relationship,
FORMING, STORMING, NORMING,
PERFORMING
Every relationship goes through these stages (even rebound relationships) - the initial "forming", where the
excitement of the prospect of a new fulfilling lovefest brings two people together, then the "storming" - a period
of adjustment where the gloss goes off the relationship a little and bad habits and annoying tendencies of the new
partner have to be dealt with (a reality check if you will), then the self explanatory "norming" as these issues
are dealt with which then leads to the "performing" - all systems go!
Think about it.......
The main reason for giving time to yourself is to allow your ex to get to the "storming" part of the
relationship.
You may notice that your ex's new partner is the opposite of you. For example, if you're into sports, they're
probably into politics, if you're a "nice guy", they're probably a "bad boy". Use this information to change
yourself, just a little. Fact is, they're going to come to the "storming" part of their relationship soon, and then
they may well see that the flaws in their new "have a relationship in haste, regret it later" approach hasn't
worked, and with a bit of communication, they were way better off with you in the first place.
This is why it's important not to beg or grovel - that makes you look weak and rather unappealing!
Don't be full of apologies or try to convince them that your the love of their life either - they will decide
that for themselves.
Then , when you do start to take tentative steps to get back together, make sure you do the one thing that is
probably the one underlying reason you ran into problems before.....
TALK TO EACH OTHER! Relations usually fail through lack of communication - it just stops.
Agree to make a concious decision to spend time for talking to each other daily and you'll be on the right
path.
