 "What is a rebound relationship?"
A rebound relationship is a relationship where someone who just got out of a serious, or long term relationship turns around and jumps into another relationship.
"Why don't they ever work or last?"
The person who just got out of a serious relationship hasn't given themselves enough time, if any at all, to get over their last relationship. Thus they still harbor feelings for that ex and they're not 100% emotionally invested in their new relationship. Eventually the true feelings come out and the relationship is over. Really it's over from the start.
Another thing is that some people who get in rebound relationships are essentially using that new person to distract themselves from their ex. Maybe make the ex jealous and try to move on that way.
"Do rebound relationships ever work out or last?"
Honestly, no. Maybe there's a few rare exceptions..but don't count on it to last.

They dont usually last, because they have started for the wrong reason. The person in the rebound relationship often still cares about there ex and although denying it, dont really care about there new partner.

 A rebound relationship is when you get with someone else right after you've broken up with someone. They don't work or last because most of the time, the person seeking the new relationship hasn't gotten over their ex and it's not right for them to love someone else who's not their partner.

 I have had a rebound guy and it really didn't last, but it got me over a "broken heart" and I have been someones rebound and that didn't work either since he dumped me for his ex.
I really think it comes down to how much baggage you drag around from one relationship to the next. If you aren't really ready for a new one, it might not work out.
