spite dating

Dating someone new just to get back at an ex or make an ex jealous - usually leads to a spite marriage. Similar to a rebound but you act like more than a hookup and post obnoxious pictures on social media about how happy you are now and actually convince the new person it's a real relationship and not spite dating.
