<human>: Me and my girlfriend broke up for circumstantial reasons.  We were both still in love, but due to differing paths we decided to let each other go.

I am mostly looking for other people's perspectives and experiences with rebounds.  

If I break up with a girl whom I am deeply in love with, I've found in the past that hooking up with someone actually makes the problem worse.  In the short term it is nice to get cuddles, kiss, but to be honest I'm not even interested in sex.  Often the differences between the girl I rebound with and my girlfriend make the good things about my ex-girlfriend just more prominent.  However, forcing through it, would it help me heal faster?

If I break up with a girl whom I am NOT in love with, I really don't have much of a problem moving on.  Not really a problem here.

I recently broke up with the love of my life and I am in pretty deep emotional pain.  Sometimes I think I am over it and other times not.  I am wondering if I am just a moth caught in the trance of a flame?  Am I just stuck in a tunnel where I THINK I can't get over here but I can?

I have SORT of hooked with two girls (just cuddle, kiss, etc.).  It did make me feel better for a bit, but directly after I felt crappy again.  I more or less just lost interest in them.  Should I just push on and quit being a sniveling baby about my ex?

I just don't know what the healthiest route is.  I wouldn't USE someone as a rebound, obviously I'd let the person know my situation (recent breakup).

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: In your experience, if your heart is broken, is it better to rebound into another relationship?  Or is it better in the long run to go through your grieving process?
