It’s hard enough to deal with the fact that your man is still talking to his ex.
But it’s even harder to deal with the fact that he might be in love with her.
If you’re worried that your man is in love with his ex, here are some signs to look out for.
12 Signs He Is Still In Love With His Ex.
1. He talks about her all the time
If your man can’t stop talking about his ex, it’s a pretty good sign that he’s still in love with her.
He might try to downplay it by saying that he’s just curious about what she’s up to or that he’s trying to make sure she’s not causing any drama in his life.
But the truth is, if he didn’t care about her, he wouldn’t be spending so much time talking about her.
2. He compares you to her
Where your man is constantly comparing you to his ex, it’s a clear sign that he’s still in love with her.
He might say that he’s just trying to figure out what he wants in a relationship or that he’s trying to see what you have in common.
However, if it is not so much about his inability to get over her, he wouldn’t be trying so hard to make you another image of her.
3. He is still in touch with his ex’s close friends and family
If you discover your man is still in touch with his ex’s close friends and family, it’s a sign that he hasn’t moved on from her.
He might say that he’s just being friendly or that he wants to keep in touch with her loved ones.
But if he didn’t care so much about her, he wouldn’t go out of his way to stay in touch with her loved ones.
4. He’s always talking about her positive qualities
When it happens that your partner can’t stop talking about how great his ex is, it means that he’s still in love with her.
He might say things like,
“She was such a great girlfriend,” or “I miss her so much.”
And while it might seem like he’s just being nostalgic, it’s actually a sign that he’s still not over her.
5. He talks about their shared history together
When two people have been in a relationship for a long time, they have a shared history together.
And if your man is constantly talking about his shared history with his ex, it means that he’s not over her yet.
He might bring up memories of their past together or talk about things they used to do together.
And while it might seem harmless, it can make you feel like you’re living in his shadow.
6. He still has photos of her on his phone or social media accounts
Pictures speak a thousand words.
Where your man hasn’t deleted any photos of his ex from his phone or social media accounts, it means that he’s still thinking about her.
He might say that he doesn’t want to delete them because they have sentimental value or because they’re just friends now.
Don’t get carried away.
He is still so attached to her and that is why he still cherishes those pictures.
7. He still has her stuff
If your man hasn’t returned his ex’s stuff or he still has her things in his possession, it’s a sign that he’s not over her yet.
He might say that he forgot to return it or that he doesn’t have the time.
And even if he isn’t returning them, they should not be in his possession.
Where he still has them in his possession, it means he is still attached to her and definitely loves her more than you.
8. He buys you the same gifts he once gave his ex
There are thousand and one gifts out there that your man could have gotten you but he chose to buy you the same gifts he gave his ex.
He might even compliment you in the same way that he once did with his ex, it’s a sign that he’s still thinking about her.
He might say that he just wanted to get you something nice or that he was thinking of her when he saw the gift.
This simply means he is trying to recreate his time with his ex with you.
9. He’s always bringing up inside jokes between the two of you that only make sense to him and his ex
If your man is always making jokes that only he and his ex would understand, it’s a sign that he’s not over her yet.
He might say that he’s just trying to be funny or that he’s trying to make you laugh.
But in reality, he is pretending to be with you when his heart lies somewhere else.
10. He’s always talking about what she’s doing now
Where a man loves his ex more than his current partner, he will always talk about what she (the ex) is currently doing.
If your man is always asking about his ex or talking about what she’s doing now, it means that he’s not over her yet.
He might say that he’s just curious or that he wants to know how she’s doing.
That’s not true.
He must have been really up to date about her life for him to know what is up with her.
It shows how much he thinks about her and how much he is still so invested in her.
11. He doesn’t make plans when she’s available
If your man always seems to have other plans when his ex is available, it’s a sign that he’s not over her yet.
He might say that he’s busy or that he can’t make it.
In reality, he is making out his time to be with her instead of you.
This means he would rather be with her than you.
Making out time for her without pitting you in the loop shows that his ex has priority over you.
12. He’s trying to make you into her
If your man is always trying to make you into his ex, it means that he’s not over her yet.
He might not come out to say that he just wants you to look like her or act like her.
He might hint at it by asking you to dress like her or speak like her.
He might even get you her perfume or books she reads.
If he indeed is over her or doesn’t love her more than you, then he would not be trying so hard to make you into her.
If you’re worried that your man is in love with his ex or loves her more than he loves you, these are some signs to look out for.
Remember that everyone deals with breakups differently and some people take longer than others to get over their exes.
If your man is exhibiting any of these signs, it doesn’t necessarily mean that he doesn’t love you anymore.
It simply means that he loves her more than he loves you and he’s not over his ex yet or pretending to be over his ex.
You need to have a conversation with him about where your relationship is going and what your expectations are moving forward.
