A rebound is a relationship with a man/woman that provides the EX what the previous relationship lacked of (i.e. sex, friendship, companionship, understanding, stability, etc). Usually rebounds are set up immediatelly or shortly after a break up occurs.

To me personally it means "temporary". It's a stage that may end in staying OR leaving the rebound.

Only your EX can answer that question. Perhaps, he's found in her what he didn't have with you. Maybe he's with her while something better comes along. It's possible that the relationship gives him something for a while, but that in a while he'll leave her to look for somebody else.
A rebound relationship is exactly what it says. It helps you rebound out of the funk of the relationship that just ended. They sound nice. Something to take away the pain for a while, while you get back on your feet. Trouble is that someone always gets hurt. but then again...someone always gets hurt...period. Whether it is a rebound relationship or not. The key is to let go of this ex of yours and not care whether he is enjoying his rebound woman. He probably is....and then...something will happen out of nowhere....that will remind him that he needs a break from ALL women. Rebounds are nice ego strokes, especially if your last SO didn't treat you so nice. "just dating" never works because sooner or later someone gets serious.
Rebounds have never worked for me. But some people I know have married their rebound relationship and have remained happy. So what do I know?
