5 Signs He Is Not Over His Ex, Still Has Feelings For Her And Could Still Be In Love With Her
1. He still speaks with her
Any guy who is still in touch with an ex, regardless of the reason, could end up being a threat to the relationship you share with him.
When a man is serious about being with a woman, he usually cuts off all communication with his exes to avoid setting himself up for temptation or making his new girlfriend feel uncomfortable. So if he wants to continue having contact or spending time with his ex even while dating or marrying you, it may be because he still has feelings for her and doesn’t want to let go of the intimacy they shared.
In fact, if you suspect that he enjoys her company more than yours, he likes her more than you.
2. He keeps things around that remind him of her.
This could be gifts, trinkets, pictures, scraps of paper, old love notes, cards, concert posters, coffee mugs or souvenirs from their trips together. This may be out in the open or hidden somewhere he hopes you won’t find it. Look for any boxes in his closet, under his bed or items stored up high on a shelf. Guys also tend to hide things in their sock or underwear drawer, in keepsake boxes, in the trunk or glove compartment of a car or at work.
3. He stealth creeps her on social media.
He doesn’t even have to contact her or have her as a “friend” to his to do so. If he’s looking at her LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, blog, Instagram posts…he’s not just checking to see what she is saying about him. He still has feelings for her. He may even be trying to figure out who she is dating or be jealous of her newfound happiness without him. If it irks him, he’s still in like or love land.
4. He constantly compares you with his ex
Comparing two people is always problematic and if it’s your partner’s ex that you’re being compared with, then it is time to make a call. Sometimes it can be deliberate, but if your boyfriend is doing it subconsciously then that is an even bigger problem.
5. He still defends his ex-girlfriend
There’s a huge difference between being respectable and polite about one’s ex and defending him or her in front of their present partner. Not badmouthing an ex is a choice, but defending the person in front of one’s ex is unfair. He may be telling the truth, but the fact that he has no regard for your feelings is a point of concern.
