I am down as yes, I was the rebound.

In retrospect with my life experience I would not have dated someone coming out of a relationship as I did back then, but I was 22 and naïve, he was separated but not yet divorced - I now know he wasn't over her, not at that point. It wasn't very sensible of me, and looking back it was a real risk - I'm lucky she didn't name me on a divorce petition (although she was the one who left him originally), but in this case there was no kids which makes a difference. I agree if there are kids you need to tread carefully regarding custody.

But here we are 22 years later, so yes rebounds can work (it's lasted longer than his previous marriage).
