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.
