Having a "rebound" after serious relationship ends

[LateBloomer]

Hello,
When i was 18 i gave up my life in Brighton and moved to a small town known as Nairn in Northern Scotland to be with a 17 year old guy who i met online and fell in love with immediately... He was so sweet and nice until one day he broke my heart into pieces and pushed me to a dark corner which lead me to go off the rails.... I then had 18 months of depression and met a guy on a site who i got on well with met up and formed a relationship that lasted 3 months and one day i woke up and thought... l cannot continue to live like this and broke his heart over dinner.... After many tears and whatnot we kind of drifted apart and I then met my current boyfriend who i have been with for 6 years and 3 months on and off usually causdded by a bicker! lol... l have found that i havent forgiven myself for how hurtful i was but if everything happens for a reason maybe he had to be the re bound for me to get over my ex in scotland...

l would advise never hurt those with love if its not proper love

kinde3st regards

Thanks for your story.

My questions are (if you don't mind):

1) What was it about your "rebound guy" that made you think you couldn't continue like that?

and 2) Do you think you needed to "break someone's heart" after yours got smashed to pieces?

Was it a necessary process or do you think you could have gotten along without having had this person in between your two important relationships?

I hope my questions aren't too personal.
