speaking as someone who's definitely been a rebound guy before, take it from me: you two've already been an item long enough that you've aged out of the rebound zone. and even if you hadn't, i don't think eddie's the kind of guy who even does rebounds.
now i love iris, don't get me wrong but if you want my take on it, her and eddie, that was never gonna last. she got together with him while barry was in a coma, and maybe if he'd never come out of it things would've been different, but as soon as he woke up that relationship had an expiration date. like, he'd never say it cuz he's way too nice, but eddie tried a lot harder than she did to make it work.
[ Cisco feels a little bad saying all this when Iris is dimensions away and can't defend herself, but as far as he's concerned, it's just the truth. Didn't make her a bad person, just... someone who'd made some mistakes, and ended up hurting someone because she was afraid to make a clean break. It didn't make her grief for him any less real. ]
