A rebound relationship can last from one month to a year depending on how much time you need to reach your realization. If you are in complete denial a rebound relationship may last longer than expected. Statistics say that men are more likely to rebound than women, because men find it tough to recover from break-ups.

How do rebound relationships usually end?

A rebound can end terribly if: One gets into the relationship expecting the new partner to make up for the shortcomings of the former partner. One gets into a new relationship with chronic fear and anxiety that the new partner will treat them the same way the former partner did.
