You and your ex have broken up. But it might interest you to know that they are still in love with you. When a relationship ends, some people move on faster than others. This is because they still hold onto the beautiful memories of the relationship. Could your ex be one of those people? Let’s find out.
1. They Make Excuses Just to Speak With You
Both of you have probably decided not to talk to each other as much. You’re probably not on the phone every other day. If you’re trying to move on and put everything related to the relationship behind you, avoiding your ex is highly recommended.
But for some reason, they always find something to talk to you about. They’re calling you every other day and saying they need help fixing this or that. When you take a closer look, you can tell that what they’re saying doesn’t really add up. They’re just making excuses to get a chance to speak with you.
If you love somebody, you want to speak with them constantly. You want to text them every now and then. When you were together, you were probably talking every other minute. Now that you’re no longer together, they still want that.
They want to keep talking to you, texting you, and staying in your business. It can be very annoying, especially if you don’t want to speak to them. But if you’re curious whether your ex still loves you, there’s a very high chance you’re still into them. It’s a welcome development, isn’t it? If they keep calling, texting, and checking up on you, it’s a clear sign they’re still in love with you.
2. They’re Curious About Your Love Life
Do they keep asking about your relationship status? Do they want to know whether you’re seeing someone? Do they keep asking you the same question? That’s because they’re still interested in you. They still love you and want to know whether you’re available so they can tell if they still stand a chance.
Look at it this way. The moment you move on and start seeing someone else, the chances of getting back together become very slim. If you’re still single, the chances are higher.
Since you’ve broken up, it would make sense for your ex to move on and stop paying attention to whether you’re seeing someone. If they keep asking about your love life and can’t stop being curious, it’s because they still love you.
They might not want to admit it, especially if they broke up with you, because it wouldn’t make them look good. But if they keep asking questions about your love life, that’s a strong sign they still have a soft spot for you. Even if they don’t admit it, there’s still a chance you hold a special place in their hearts.
3. They Try to Make You Jealous
You’re no longer together, and by now, they should be moving on. Instead, they’re trying to get your attention. They know that if you still have feelings for them, one of the easiest ways to find out is to make you jealous. Even when they aren’t seeing anyone, they might post pictures to make it look like they are. They want you to feel jealous and like you’re missing out.
If your ex is flaunting a relationship in your face, even if it’s not real, that’s a sign. If they didn’t love you anymore, they wouldn’t care enough to make you jealous. It would be none of your business whether they were seeing someone else.
You might think you’ve gotten over your ex, but seeing them with someone else can bring back feelings. That’s why they play that card. Jealousy is a big part of love. You might act like you aren’t bothered, but deep down, you might feel something.
If you feel even a little jealous, your ex knows it worked. That means you still feel something for them, just as they still feel something for you. Should both of you need to revisit the relationship? Getting back with your ex isn’t a good idea.
4. They Stay in Touch With Your Family and Friends
When you were together, it made sense. But now you’re no longer together, so why are they still around? They could move on and get close to the family and friends of whoever they’re seeing now, if they’re seeing anyone. Instead, they stay close to your family and friends. They do this because even if they can’t be in your life directly, they can still be in it indirectly.
By staying close to your family and friends, they get updates about you. They ask questions about what you’re doing, whether you’re seeing someone, and what’s going on in your life. That helps them keep tabs on you.
Those memories are precious to them, and they don’t want to let them go. Even now, they try to create more memories with you by staying close to your family and friends. If your ex is still very close to them, it’s a sign they still love you and want to be part of your life.
The moment they truly move on, they won’t be this interested anymore. If they still call, check in, and hang out with your people, it’s a strong sign they’re still in love with you. If you do the same, it's a sign that you haven't gotten over your ex, either.
5. They Still Confide in You
When you were together, you were their go-to person. They told you everything and felt safe with you. After the breakup, you’d expect that to stop, but it doesn’t. They still tell you deep things and share their secrets. That’s because they still love you and feel something special for you.
Even though you’re no longer together, they still trust you. It might make you wonder why they’re telling you all these things when they could tell someone else. But if your ex still calls you to share their struggles and wishes, it’s a strong sign they still love you.
They might even be seeing someone else, but if they still confide in you, it means that person hasn’t replaced you in their heart. They still feel deeply for you. This can last for years. It doesn’t mean you two will get back together, but it doesn’t stop them from loving you.
If they always want to talk to you, are curious about your love life, try to make you jealous, stay close to your family and friends, and still confide in you, there’s a strong possibility they’re still in love with you.
What you do with that information is up to you. At the end of the day, you need to put yourself first. Remember, there’s a reason you two didn’t work out initially. Don’t fall into the same trap. Don't hook up with your ex either because it never ends well.
