How To Know Your Girlfriend Is Not Over Her Ex

How to know your girlfriend is not over her ex is obvious if you are able to recognize the signs. While some signs that your girlfriend is not over her ex are subtle, there are also signs that are quite obvious. Learning to recognize those signs is important for determining if your current relationship has a future or if it is doomed to fail because your girlfriend has unresolved feelings towards her ex.

1. Chances are your girlfriend is not over her ex if she continues to talk about her ex regularly. If your girlfriend is randomly bringing her ex into a conversation it means she still thinks about them frequently. For example, you may be having a conversation with her when she suddenly says, “Oh, Tom used to say…” This is a good indicator she is not over her ex.
2. You can determine your girlfriend is not over her ex if she still has mementos from their relationship laying around. If she is still looking at old pictures taken from their relationship or still treasures gifts or objects from their relationship, she is probably not over her ex. Moving on from past relationships involves letting go of mementos and if she still has them, she has not moved on.
3. In most cases, your girlfriend is not over her ex is she continues to have regular contact with them, such as private phone calls and is secretive about meeting them. While it is normal for ex’s to remain friends after a break up, if your girlfriend is acting shady towards her contact with her ex, she may not be over them. For example, if she goes some place private to call her ex or doesn’t tell you when she sees her ex, she may not be over them.

It’s not always easy to determine if your girlfriend is over her ex or not, but if your girlfriend is showing one or more of these signs, chances are you need to have a conversation with her about it. If she isn’t over her ex your relationship may need a break to giver her time to heal and move on. If she doesn’t, more often than not, the relationship will be doomed to fail.
