It's unlikely that any girl would be happy with the prospect of sharing her boyfriend with his ex-girlfriend.

But, unfortunately, this is what sometimes happens – for the reason that a man cannot forget his past relationship.

Let's find out how to tell if your partner is attached to his ex.

He keeps things and photos related to past relationships.

If the apartment is full of magnets that a man brought back from a trip with his ex-girlfriend, and there is a sweater knitted by her in the closet, this is an alarm bell. If the relationship is over, it is nothing to throw these things away or at least put them away somewhere. If the memorable items are still in sight, it means that he is emotionally connected to the past.

He mentions her in conversations

Another alarming sign is the constant presence of your ex-girlfriend in your conversations with your loved one. He may compare you to her, recall stories from their life together, or complain about her, telling about her shortcomings. All this indicates that his feelings have not yet faded.

He is looking for an opportunity to contact her.

If the relationship is not over, your man will interact with his ex. In some cases, partners openly admit that they remain friends, continue to meet and help each other. However, sometimes a man formally excludes his ex from his life, not communicating with her and blocking her everywhere, but still interacts with her - indirectly. For example, he tells his friends that she did not pay her share of the rent for the apartment where they lived together, tries to take revenge by hacking her account on social networks, etc.

He stalks his ex on social media

If your partner still follows his ex on social media, or worse, doesn't follow him but continues to stalk his life online, this could be a bad sign. He probably still has feelings for his ex.

He reacts emotionally to the mention of his ex.

Pay attention to how your man reacts to mentions of his ex. If the relationship is over, he should be indifferent or talk about her calmly. If he gets angry, loses his temper, or, on the contrary, is happy to talk about his ex-partner, this indicates that feelings remain.
