We’ve all been there before: you meet someone, you hit it off, things seem to be going well, and then everything falls apart and they jump to a new relationship the moment they separate from you. Your guess is that they got into a rebound relationship.

And, you could be right! So you may assume that they’ll come running back into your arms after that relationship fails. So is it fair for you to expect and wait for such a thing to happen? Read on and find out.

Will your ex regret dumping you after his rebound relationship ends?

The only thing that’s obvious is that you’re stuck feeling sorry for yourself while your ex is out having the time of his life with his new rebound. Any other assumption you make is just an assumption. Nothing more or less.

1. The truth is that your ex probably won’t come back:

The truth is that your ex probably won’t come back. The fact is, rebound or not your dumper dumped you before so he clearly didn’t think that staying was worth it. This means that you better not be thinking that such a person will realize that the grass is not greener elsewhere and come back running to you. A person that dumped you once will always perceive you as unworthy as they had you in the palm of their hand before and willingly chose to let go of you.

You’re not challenging enough in their eyes nor do you look like a priced treasure that they have to fight for and enjoy the thrill of the chase. Unfortunately, they probably feel that you’re just sitting on a rock waiting for them to say the word to get back together with them. And, that’s exactly why they won’t try to get back together again. There’s nothing new or exciting for them in such a deal.

Rather than experience multiple breakups with the same person and waste more time and energy, it’s always better to move on rather than wait for a dumper to come back.

Yes, rebound relationships end, and both partners usually just want to move on and forget that it ever happened. And that’s understandable because rebound relationships are usually based on superficial things like physical attraction or the thrill of the chase. But, this doesn’t mean that there’s a guarantee that the partners that were involved in a rebound will go looking for their exes from before that again.

After having gone through a rebound, usually the memories from the relationship before would have started to fade, and there’s not much left from them to daydream about. So if you’re wondering whether or not your ex will come back after a rebound relationship ends, the answer is probably no. The best thing you can do is just move on and focus on finding someone who really wants to be with you.

2. Even if he comes back, it’s not going to be a good deal:

Here’s the thing: rebound relationships almost never work out in the long run. In fact, they usually end up doing more harm than good. If you’re waiting for your ex to come back to you after he’s done with his rebound relationship, you’re likely setting yourself up for disappointment.

After their rebound, your ex will probably want to crawl into the darkness and keep things low for some time and heal properly. That would be the best thing to do rather than jump into a new rebound again or make another mistake too soon.

And, who said that rebound relationships are easy to get over? Just because it’s a rebound doesn’t mean that they were no feelings involved at all. So not only is your ex unlikely to come back, but they could also end up getting hurt in the process. And unless you want to clean up after someone else and pick up the broken pieces someone else caused then you should move on.

So save yourself the heartache and forget about your ex. There’s someone out there who will appreciate you for who you are, and who will find it very hard to start a new relationship straight after your story comes to end if it ever does.

4 Reasons not to take a dumper back after a rebound:

1. Better get dumped than be with someone who cannot see your value:

Getting dumped is never fun. Whether it comes out of nowhere or you can see the writing on the wall, it’s always a blow to the ego. And in the heat of the moment, it’s only natural to want to take the person that dumped you back. After all, they obviously made a mistake, right? Wrong.

There are plenty of good reasons why you should never take a person that dumped you back, regardless of how much you may still care for them. For one thing, they clearly weren’t ready for a committed relationship if they were able to dump you so easily. Or maybe they never saw your true worth and value. So better get dumped than stay in a relationship where you’re underappreciated and taken for granted.

And even if they did make a mistake, do you really want to be with someone that isn’t sure about being with you and cannot see any benefit to it? It’s better to move on and find someone that is truly ready to commit. Trust us, you’ll be glad you did in the long run.

2. They preferred to be single than to be with you:

Being dumped really sucks, there are no two ways about it. It feels like you’ve been punched in the gut and your heart is made of glass. You try to put on a brave face for your friends and family, but inside you’re dying. The only thing that you can think about is getting that person back.

But beware, we’re here to remind you once more that it’s not always a good idea to take someone back who has dumped you. They did it for a reason, and more often than not that reason is they preferred to be single than to be with you. Ouch, that hurts to hear but it’s the truth.

So save yourself the pain and don’t take them back. You deserve better than that. You need to learn to enjoy your own company too and prefer to be alone than be with people that think that you’re disposable.

3. They preferred to be with someone else and looked elsewhere while with you:

Even if we say that they didn’t prefer to be single rather than be with you which is, why they got in a rebound relationship then it’s still a horrible thing to do. If they planned to be with someone other than you or had eyes for someone else whilst still with you, then that’s even worst than preferring to be single. They’re basically borderline a cheater.

Someone like this who is capable of looking around and selecting their next potential partner before they break up with their current one may have what it takes to cheat. After all, we know for a fact that such a person has wandering eyes and will be looking elsewhere even when they’re in a committed relationship.

So even if you got such a person back who said they won’t even do you the favor of breaking up with you next time they like someone new. Perhaps next time around they’ll stay with you and cheat in an attempt to have their cake and eat it too. So is this what you really want for yourself?

4. You deserve better:

One final reason on our list as to why you should never take back the person who dumped you is that you simply deserve better. After being treated unfairly and with such little regard for your feelings, you owe it to yourself to keep what’s left of dignity intact.

By moving on and finding someone who will treat you better, you can restore your faith in love and relationships. Additionally, by never taking back the person who dumped you, you send a message of strength and self-respect. This message can be empowering, but will also help you to view yourself in a more positive light.

Finally, by never taking back the person who dumped you, you can avoid repeating the same mistakes and patterns in future relationships. Learning from past experiences is an essential part of growing as a person, and by never taking back the person who dumped you, you can ensure that you are always moving forward.

So for now, learn to enjoy your single life and ensure you heal and move on properly from your last breakup. If you do these two things then trust us your next chapter of life will look so much brighter!
