5 Signs He’s Not Over His Ex
Everyone has a past, and everyone has an ex. Starting a relationship with someone whose past is still very present in their thoughts and heart is a recipe for heartbreak. I do not think there is anything wrong with maintaining a cordial relationship with an ex, especially if you share children or a friend circle. However, I also believe it is important to ensure that your current love is over their ex-love to avoid disappointment and pain.
5 Signs He’s Not Over His Ex
He Talks About Her A Lot
Sometimes his inner thoughts will leak out. The ex and their former relationship may frequently be present. If an ex is a constant topic of discussion, that is a red flag that feelings for that person may still be there. Even if the talk about her is negative, it is indicative that his ex is constantly on his mind, and he is not over her.
He Compares You To Her
No one wants to be compared to anyone else, but a man still harboring feelings for his ex will do it subconsciously and sometimes let the thoughts come out of his mouth. For example, you two go on a trip together and he compares and contrast how different you are from her and how she was always when traveling.
He Relives Their Relationship With You
He takes you to the same places he took her. She loved Hawaii and he seems to always want to go there. She was adventurous and mentions that you when decline to go rock climbing, which was one of her favorite activities.
He’s Still Friends With Her
There is nothing wrong with being friends with an ex, but your boyfriend being too chummy with the ex he once considered his soulmate, is dangerous. With this relationship, feelings may still be there for one or both of them and it would not likely take much for things to reignite.
She’s A Priority
If she calls, he will go running for the smallest thing. If her dog runs off, he is off searching for it. She had a bad day, he is off to comfort her even if that means blowing off plans with you to be there for her. Just to be clear, you should be the priority, not the ex.
Not all relationships with an ex are the same. The how and why they broke up matter. Did she cheat on him? Was he against the breakup and tried to get back with her in the past? It also matters how long they were together and how serious they were. Were they talking marriage and kids? Was his family close to her? All things to keep in mind, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be a dealbreaker.
Now I want to hear from you. Have you ever experienced this situation? What did you do? Maybe you’re the ex in this case. Please share!
