A rebound relationship is something many people find themselves in after a breakup as they search for emotional support or something that was missing when they were with their ex-partner. While some people may relish being single again, others will struggle with sadness or loneliness, which is why they jump straight into another relationship.
If you’ve been married or with your partner for a long time, adjusting to not being with that person anymore can be really difficult - even if you initiated the breakup. Most people are not just losing their partner but many will lose their homes and friends, and they might have to deal with shared custody of children. However, not all outcomes from divorce are negative. Many people stay in unhappy marriages for a long time and find a new lease on life and a sense of independence once it’s over. If you were in an unhealthy or toxic relationship, this sense of freedom may be even greater.
