Most people seem to think the best way to deal with a heartbreak is to date someone else but is this really the right way to deal with a heartbreak?
A lot of people have used sex at one point in their life to get over a heartbreak or get back at their ex but is this practice really worth it?
Below are 5 reasons why everyone should avoid rebounds after breaking up
1. SEX ISN’T WHAT YOUR HEART NEEDS AFTER A BREAKUP:
We tend to complicate things for ourselves by having sex with someone else immediately we break up with a partner but we fail to understand we only end up complicating things for ourselves. Whether we admit it or not, we always regret that rebound sex we had.
2. YOU ARE NOT READY EMOTIONALLY:
Why start another relationship when you are not ready emotionally. After going through a breakup, what you really need is a break and not another relationship. When you start a relationship immediately after breaking up, you are not being fair to yourself and your new partner. It’s really wrong to use someone to get over an ex.
3. HAVING A RELATIONSHIP ISN’T THE ULTIMATE:
We all want to be loved but it’s wrong to think your life is worthless when you are not into any relationship. Instead of jumping into another relationship, why don’t you devote that energy to yourself and friends? Use that time to discover new things about yourself.
4. YOU END UP WITH SOMEONE THAT ISN’T REALLY YOUR TYPE:
When we breakup and jump into a new relationship because we are scared of being alone, we most times end up with someone we would never date. Because you have had sex with the person and probably shared other things, you just stick around with the person even though that’s not the person you really need in your life. So it’s advisable you stay away from a relationship after a breakup so you don’t end up with someone you would regret dating.
5. YOU NEED TIME TO KNOW WHY YOUR RELATIONSHIP ENDED:
You need to understand your relationship ended for a reason and you need to know why it ended. Jumping into another relationship without really reflecting on your past relationship means you would continue making the same mistakes that ended your previous relationship. After a breakup, it’s important you ask yourself questions; ask yourself why your relationship didn’t work and that way you would ensure your next relationship is a success.
So if you are going through a heartbreak and you are contemplating having a rebound relationship, I think you should avoid them and let your broken heart heal.
