I am trying to find out if a rebound relationship can lead to the real thing, or will a person always have the word "rebound" hanging around in their heads?

I got into a relationship as a rebound, and after a year we're still together. However, I know it started for the wrong reasons so is it possible I will ever be happy with this? what do you guys think?
 
It can last but if you're still thinking of it as a rebound a year later then maybe there's a reason for that.
 
It can, but it is more likely to fail because of the person's state AT THE TIME. Things change, people change.

The fact you're asking means some issues already exist. Are you really happy and satisfied? If yes, then why are you worrying? Many people get together for a myriad of reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the Hollywood version of romance. Yet these people are together not questioning.

People are usually not in a good place when they head into a rebound relationship. But if they change and get to that right place then the foundation is there...
 
There are plenty of issues, but I am trying to figure out whether to look past them and try be happy or move on ... I'm finding out that it's not the easiest thing in the world finding that special someone.

Well, you're sounding hesitant - like you haven't actually found that special person. If that is you feeling, and indeed the problem, then you're making excuses to break up and need to face the truth.

However, if this is really the issue at heart then you should be looking beyond the past and to the future. If you truly can be happy for the rest of your lives together, then fight for it.

Just do yourself a favour and don't stay with this person for the sake of not being alone. You would be doing both of you an injustice. Don't force it if you know (in your heart) it will never work.
