well what if he really likes the girl (very hard to tell, since he is 100% moody and on rebound)?

why are you even asking? you know what a rebound is. You told the girl already.

And it's only bad if the one person wants sex and the other wants a long term relationship, otherwise how is it bad at all?

rebound = wanting parts of what you got with an ex from somebody else (can be sex, company, just about anything)
however, you're not really interested in the person as just those few qualities

it's bad 'cause it makes for a shallow and relatively short lived relationship

but if both are ok with a booty-call more power to 'em

ANYWAY, I am standing strong by the fact that he take a break (we have been very good friends for ny on 3 years), but he is rather pissed at me that I told his new girlie the rebound thing and that they should take a break, even though she pretty much ended up agreeing with me.


So, what is rebound, why is it bad, etc. etc..


edit: in the past, I have always taken a break after breaking up with a girl, or if the break up has always been mutual because we became unattached, so I don't think I have ever been on such 'rebound'.

Sounds like you are bock clocking your buddy.
Instead of telling her, you should of confronted your buddy first. If he says no, then it's none of your business. Let him get some booty.

ps.. Your name fits you..

(a) Mind your business. You should've talked to him before her. And probably not her at all.
(b) Not all "rebounds" are bad. I've been with mine for 6 years.

I am not one to cock block, you don't know me. But I live with this guy, and he is trying to get with our other roommates ex-girlfriend... that seems a bit messed up to me. He should know from square one that territory is off limits. It's not cock blocking if it is for his own good and is not supposed to happen.
My buddy confronted me and asked my opinion, I told him.

You do not know the whole argument though. I simply asked about rebound, yet you make judgement calls on me and who I am. You can go fvck yourself, douchebag.

Mind my own business, he came to ME. However, you need to mind YOUR own business. Why are you making judgement calls on me? I did not ask you to, i simply asked about rebound. Holy sh!t.

I saved him the asswhooping of his life from the other roommate, if anything he owes me.

Being on the rebound is not the case in all breakups. Usually only serious ones.

It's the time when you are looking for justification, out to prove you can still get 'some', attention, affection, anything really. The only ongoing theme is the person giving the previous doesn't matter. They have really no importance to the person on the rebound other than supplying the needs/wants they had on a 'list'.

So what happens is soon a relationship grows (for the other person) and then the pain/hurt/whatever of the breakup wears off on the reboundee and they realize the person they are with (who for all intents and purposes gave it their best) is nothing like what they want.

The really bad part is now the reboundee usually plays the same role their ex did and now you have a new rebound in the dating pool. :)

Life's a bitch, founded by bitches ;)

Finally, not someone trying to belittle me or boost their own ego, an actual response to the post!

My, my, these have become a rarity.

Usually when two people break up, its the one who was broken up with, that goes on the rebound.
Not the person breaking off the relationship. This ofcourse is minus situations of cheating where
one could argue that the party cheating caused the breakup.

Rebound is only bad if the other party wants something more.

BTW, I was "on the rebound" when I met my fiancee.

Oh, and I'm a little confused. If your buddy came to you, why did you ever rat him out to the girl?
Or is the girl your buddy?

I ratted him out because he lied to me straight to my face. We have been good friends for 3 years, then he lies to me eyes to eyes over a girl he has known for a month. (Note that he straight out started talking to me when he lied, I made no prior contact, I even said it wasn't my business).

So, once I figured out he lied to me, and on top of that, he wouldn't take no as an answer for going after this girl (STUPID, He must enjoy ass beatings), I went to her to stop it.

Another call for cockblocking.

No, we don't know the whole story, only what you've told us. From what I read I understand that:

1) Roommate A and gf broke up
2) Roommate A started getting together with roommate B's ex
3) Roommate A comes to for advice on ??? (assuming if he should continue going out with roommate B's ex)
4) Roommate A listens to your opinion but doesn't break up
5) You go and tell roommate B's ex that the only reason he's going out with her is that he's on the rebound (and not because of "Bros before Hoes")

OK, so he's your friend, right? So obviously you trust him and his judgement, otherwise you wouldn't consider him a friend. So why not trust him right now? There's a certain point where you just have to let people run their own lives, only they know what they are really thinking and what their goals are so they are in the best position to make their own judgements. If this "friend" of yours has proven in the past to be a fvckup, then that's a different story, but if he is why do you consider him a "friend," he's more of a liability to you than anything. So, either A) stop trying to run all aspects of his life and trust him to run it himself, or B) stop being his friend because he is unreliable.

And for friend's exes, once they break up it's fair game if it was a mutual thing or the guy (your friend) dumping the girl (was it? you never told us). If you didn't want your friends going out with her, then maybe you should have stayed with her, eh? I've found that I get along with my friend's gfs and exes more than a random girl since the reason I'm with these friend's is that we enjoy similar things or have similar values, and the reason they go out with the girls they do is that they also have things in common. And if you really were a true friend to the guy going out with your ex, you'd just wish them (or at least him) to be happy and not break them up over you for the selfish reason that you don't want to see them together.
