4 Clear-Cut Signs Your Ex Hasn't Moved On Just Yet

Aug 03, 2018

As time moves forward, so does the nature of relationships. The end of a relationship no longer means the end of the world. These days, people are ready to move on with their lives. Of course, this is viewed as a positive thing. It is good to invest your time and energy into the things that bring emotional healing and help you to move forward.

You'll want the support that comes from your loved ones, the people who are always there for you no matter what you're going through. And you'll need to be sure and return the favor.

One of the biggest challenges for moving on from a broken relationship is that each individual involved may not be moving on at the same pace. Just because the relationship is over doesn't mean that all of the emotions, memories, and things that were shared just go away. Everything stays, even when the couple is not a couple anymore. And it is up to the individual to decide how to handle these lingering feelings.

Once the couple decides to part ways and move on, then the end of the relationship becomes a reality that each individual must accept. And while you may be picking yourself up and carrying forward, your ex may be handling things differently. How can you tell if your ex is over you and the relationship that you shared or not? Here are four things to help you find out.

1. Does your ex find silly excuses to keep in touch?

If your ex is contacting you with the smallest excuse to talk, such as asking for a phone number or checking in on a mutual friend, then he may not be moving on. This is a way of trying to get your attention.

2. Does your ex stay connected with mutual friends?

Your ex may be asking your mutual friends about you or just staying connected with your social circle just to stay updated about your life. This is how they can stay in touch with you in an indirect way.

3. Are there some strange coincidences happening with your ex?

It may not be a coincidence if you find yourself bumping into your ex in unlikely places, especially if these so-called coincidences happen rather frequently. Your ex may just be planning these coincidences.

4. Does your ex follow you on social media?

This is a definite sign that your ex is not over you. Friend requests are one thing, but a steady follower is another. Be sure to watch for this.
