When you’re in a relationship, it’s natural to want to believe that your partner is entirely over their past relationships. However, sometimes it can be difficult to tell if your boyfriend has truly moved on from his ex. If you’re starting to feel like his past is overshadowing your relationship, here are 10 signs to watch out for that may indicate that your boyfriend is still not over his ex. Knowing these signs can help you better understand your relationship and whether it’s worth pursuing.
He Frequently Mentions His Ex in Conversations, either Positively or Negatively
This only suggests that his ex is still on his mind, and he may not be entirely over her.
He Compares You to His Ex
Yikes! Don’t we hate this one? When he compares you to his ex either explicitly or implicitly and even seems to prefer her in specific ways. It implies that he may still have feelings for his ex and is using you as a substitute.
He Still Has Pictures or Mementos of His Ex in His Home or on Social Media
This can only indicate that he is still emotionally attached to his ex and has not moved on.
He Talks to His Ex Frequently or Maintains a Close Relationship With Her
Even though they are no longer together, he may not have fully let go of his ex and is still emotionally invested in her.
He Becomes Defensive or Angry When You Bring Up His Ex
If he gets all worked up whenever you ask questions about their relationship, it could be a sign that he is hiding something or is not ready to talk about his feelings regarding his ex.
He Avoids Certain Places or Activities That Remind Him of His Ex
Does he avoid certain places or activities that remind him of his ex or that they used to do together? It’s a sign he may still have unresolved emotions regarding his past relationship with his ex.
He Constantly Searches for Closure or Answers About Why His Relationship With His Ex Ended
It suggests that he may still be emotionally invested in his past relationship and has not fully processed his feelings.
He Hasn’t Removed His Ex’s Contact Information From His Phone or Social Media Accounts
Unless they share a child or are coworkers, it implies that he is still holding onto some emotional attachment to his ex and may not be ready to move on.
He Still Has Unresolved Feelings of Anger, Sadness, or Resentment Toward His Ex
This suggests that he may still be processing the emotions of his past relationship and may not have fully moved on.
