We all know that after a breakup, exes tend to linger in our memories. But what’s worse is when women move on to new relationships while still holding onto feelings for their ex. Here’s how to spot the signs—and what you can do about it.
1. She Still Has Her Ex on Social Media
If she’s still friends with her ex on facebook or follows him on Instagram, it’s a red flag. Even if they don’t talk, keeping that connection alive suggests she’s not ready to let go. When a relationship ends, most people cut ties to avoid reminders of the past. If she hasn’t, it could mean she’s holding onto hope.
What to Look For:
- Does she like his posts, especially ones about memories or nostalgia?
- Does he frequently like or comment on her posts?
- Does she post cryptic messages that seem directed at him, like “I wish I could turn back time” or “I still think about the past”?
2. She Uses You to Make Her Ex Jealous
This is a classic move. If she suddenly starts posting about you—especially when her ex is active online—it could be a ploy to make him jealous. For example, she might post photos of you two together or use pet names she once reserved for him.
What to Look For:
- Does she only post about you when her ex is online?
- Does she suddenly start using terms like “my love” or “my soulmate” out of nowhere?
- Does she suggest taking photos together only when her ex is active?
3. Her Ex Starts Chasing Her Again
If her ex suddenly reappears and starts pursuing her, it’s a bad sign. It means he still has feelings—and she might too. For him to come back, she likely gave him some hope, whether intentionally or not.
What to Look For:
- Is she suddenly secretive about her phone or social media?
- Does she get defensive when you ask about her ex?
- Are there unexplained calls or messages from him?
4. She Starts Treating You Differently
If she’s pulling away or acting distant, it could mean her feelings for her ex are resurfacing. She might take longer to reply to your messages, seem less enthusiastic about spending time together, or avoid deep conversations.
What to Look For:
- Does she seem less interested in your relationship?
- Is she spending more time alone or with friends?
- Does she avoid talking about the future?
5. She Finds Ways to Check on Her Ex
If you’ve blocked or removed her ex from her social media and she still finds ways to check on him, it’s a major red flag. She might use a friend’s account or even create a fake profile to keep tabs on him.
What to Look For:
- Does she ask questions about her ex’s social media activity?
- Does she seem upset or curious when she can’t find his profile?
- Does she try to justify why she wants to check on him?
6. She Gets Upset When Her Ex Interacts with Your Posts
If you post something about your relationship and her ex likes or comments on it, pay attention to her reaction. If she seems bothered or starts overanalyzing his actions, it’s a sign she still cares.
What to Look For:
- Does she get defensive or upset when her ex interacts with your posts?
- Does she try to downplay his actions or make excuses for him?
- Does she start acting differently after he’s been active on her profile?
What Can You Do?
If you’ve noticed these signs, it’s important to address the issue head-on. Have an honest conversation, set boundaries, and focus on your own well-being. Remember, you deserve someone who’s fully invested in you—not someone who’s still stuck in the past.
