Why don't rebound relationships work?

You're seeking what you lost - comfort, laughter, an arm to hold you, a hand to squeeze, a phone to text at midnight when you think of something funny. That person could be a thief, a crackhead, a cheater; but you only see what they give you - how they distract you from (not heal) your pain.

I know this is an old post, but it's so true. After abstaining from relationships after finally separating from my husband, I met the cutest guy in a bar & had to have to him. I told myself I wouldn't get attached and would just enjoy having fun with someone so opposite to my ex (my ex was autistic and showed me little affection, but a lot of anger). I told the guy I wasn't looking for marriage and kids. He seemed surprised, but ok with that, and has seemed very keen. And yet last night I cried myself to sleep because I haven't heard from him & just know that I've been played. I was the perfect target for him - in fact, he got very lucky. As soon as I reciprocated his 'feelings', he backed right off. Ego trip. So it's not just reboundees who get hurt - rebounders do too. All I could see was the young, fun, cuddly livewire - who is actually a selfish user who just wants to get his end away and boost his ego. Just what I needed when still vulnerable.... I don't think!
