Should I start a new relationship so soon?

Just as no two relationships are the same, neither are two rebound relationships. While the conventional wisdom is to say rebound relationships don't generally work out, that isn't always true. Rules are made to be broken. Sometimes holiday romances turn into marriages, and teenage sweethearts grow old together. If you've rebounded from a bad relationship into a good one, with someone who is right for you, there's no reason why it can't last.

However, the fact that you're even asking this question suggests that you might be having doubts about your new relationship. You say you really like your new man, but you're not completely over your ex. Do you mean you might want to get back together with your ex, or that you just don't feel 100 per cent recovered from the break-up? If it's the former, then getting involved in a new relationship isn't fair. But if it's the latter, then it is possible to continue healing, while getting to know a new partner.

Perhaps you simply need to take things a little more slowly. Go on dates a few days a week, rather than spending every waking moment together. Ask your new boyfriend to be patient with you and be honest about your feelings for your ex. Ultimately, if things don't feel right, then you may need to suggest a break, while you sort your head out. ends
