what does "rebound relationship" mean ? Hello, I've heard it many times in movies, series etc, i get the general meaning but not the exact.. I know that a rebound relationship is the one after the woman or the man has just broken up with his/her bf/gf/spouse... but what does it mean exactly? rebound is metaphorically when we have again the chance of doing sth that we've failed in that before.. so a rebound relationship is kinda chance of a new relationship? an up-and-coming beginning ? or it's just to have a good time and that's all? thanks in advance... :)
