I had a rebound relationship.

It's been over since I ended it in Feb which was the right thing to do and I haven't regretted it for a moment. We were together a while but the truth is it was only good for the first three months.

Since then, and especially now, I am troubled that I don't think I'm over my divorce which was almost 3 years ago Blush. Is it possible that the rebound thing stopped me from grieving properly? I think I should be over it by now, but I feel like I'm not. I've stopped dating because I just can't be arsed, I don't feel like I have anything to bring to the table and, at the same time, I've developed a really harsh attitude to men in general. I don't want to be like this.

Thank you for reading.

Really no problem in having a rebound relationship you know...

However, it has made you realise you are not 100% over your ex.

I would go for some counselling to unravel the whole lot. Especially that harsh attitude to men you have developed. Please don't let that dictate your future life.

I don't think the rebound stopped you grieving. If you've had a bad marriage followed by a bad relationship experience, it's no wonder you're a bit jaded about men in general. Thinking you don't have 'anything to bring to the table' OTOH is not going to do anything for your self-esteem or happiness. Detach from dating but use your time constructively to rebuild your confidence perhaps
