1. Your Partner’s Break Up Was Not So Long Ago

If your partner was in a long-term relationship, broke up just a few days back and began dating you right after, it is a bright indication that he/she is just looking for someone to fill the void. The wounds of a break up are severe, especially if you have been with someone for a long time.

It takes time to heal. If you are dating someone who faced a vicious breakup not so long ago, you need to tread carefully. Remember that a wounded tiger is the most dangerous beast.

2. You Are Being Relentlessly Showered With Love

Has it been merely a week since you started dating and he/she is already saying the three magical words? Does your partner treat you like you’re ‘The One’ within a few days of knowing you? This is indeed a symptom of a rebound relationship.

Strong relationships need time to build. If your partner is relentlessly showering you with unrequited love and expensive gifts, he/she is simply trying to impress you so that you cannot see through their facade. They are looking at you like a replacement in you and don’t want to build any serious connection.

3. Your Partner Treats You Like An Arm Candy

Your partner wants to take you everywhere they go and keeps flaunting you in front of his/her friends. In many such places, you often come across their ex. It might not be just pure coincidence.

If you bump across your partner’s ex more frequently, it clearly shows that your partner brought you to that place intentionally, just to show you off to their ex and try to make them jealous. Someone who thinks and cares so much about their ex’s whereabouts is not worth your time.

In addition to taking you to places where their ex is present, your partner also seems to be very much interested in posting all details about their current relationship status on their social media accounts. Your partner comes across to be much excited about posting your pictures on social media with cute, lovey-dovey captions.

This over the top behavior signals that your partner is just trying to prove to the world and his/her ex that they are thrilled in their lives and the breakup didn’t affect them a bit. You should immediately realize that you are just a trophy in the relationship and walk out of it as soon as possible.

4. You Feel Like You Have Nothing In Common

After a while, you may start feeling that the two of you have nothing in common and the relationship is a forced one. It might happen that you and your partner both had bitter breakups and just for the sake of having someone by your side, you started dating each other. Such a relationship will get you nowhere.

5. Physical Intimacy Is Of Top Priority

Anyone who is looking to while away time in a not-so-serious relationship will always put physical intimacy as the top priority in their relationship. Is your partner only interested in sleeping with you? Sex is the best way to feel connected to someone on a superficial level.

If your partner wants you only for their physical pleasures, it proves that they are not interested in any kind of long-term serious relationship and are only seeking someone who can drive off their loneliness.

6. You Are Continuously Compared To Their Ex

Your partner has got his/her ex on the brain. It has been months since they broke up, but your partner keeps remembering their ex quite often. They even compare you and your activities to their ex.

Are you getting accustomed to their histrionics about their ex? It is not something to be proud of. Your partner is definitely not over his/her past relationship if he/she keeps getting nostalgic every now and then. Take the cue and move aside.

7. Your Partner Is A Bitter Basher

Breakups can make a person bitter. The wounds will heal with the passage of time and will turn the person from bitter to better. But for someone who jumped from one relationship to another, the bitterness will stay back and will be prominent in their words and actions. Your partner appears to be hell-bent on proving their ex to be the blood-sucking villain.

They continuously keep telling you that they had been victimized. Hence, they have no faith in humanity, love, and relationships anymore. There is a high chance that they are merely using you for either venting out their anger or for restoring their faith. It is a volatile situation, and if you continue to stay in the relationship, you are inviting trouble.

A rebound relationship is like a cigarette which will provide a temporary sense of calmness, but at the end, it will burn your life. Ending a rebound can be hard as it involves a lot of raw emotions. But false hopes can make you cynical. It is essential to set yourself free from the false promises that your partner will magically start loving you and forget all about their ex.
