Well, I heard something on the radio several weeks ago--they were talking about rebound relationships... "turns out that rebound relationships are not more likely to fail as previously thought. Each person has their own grieving period. If the people have healed and accepted the end of the previous relationship, they can successfully move into another one."
Doesn't this make sense?
Yes, it does make sense. And honestly I DID grieve. I cried until there were no more tears and I lived in the pain deeply for months. Perhaps I put in more time grieving in a few months than some do in years because of the sheer intensity of the process.
I hope that I'm taking a risk that is worth it by opening myself to intimacy with a man who seems very emotionally "safe".
Nice to hear from you!
