Many times, it doesn't take much to tell that an ex isn't over the breakup. Whether it's texting you late at night, showing up where you hang out, or even following your every move on social media - there are some small but clear signs that they haven't moved on yet. Here are 11 of them:
1. They post indirect things about you on social media.
Instead of moving forward, they choose to express their anger and frustration through memes or stinging posts – a clear indication that the breakup still hurts.
2. They write at midnight
A simple message like "Hi" may seem innocent, but it's often an attempt to regain your attention at times when you're least thinking about them.
3. Their new partners look like you.
If all the people they date after that look like you – it's likely they haven't forgotten you yet.
4. They follow your current partner on social media.
This action is strange and unusual and shows that they are still emotionally connected to you.
5. They are the first to see every story you post.
As soon as you post something, they see it immediately. It's a way to stay close – digitally – even though they're no longer a part of your life.
6. They copy everything you do with your partner.
Go to a new place? They show up there a little later. It's a type of behavior that shows fixation and a lack of emotional processing of the breakup.
7. They don't delete the photos you have together.
Keeping photos of a past relationship for a long time may be a signal that they haven't yet moved on from that relationship.
8. They talk badly about your partner to mutual friends
If they feel jealous or insecure, they will try to bring down your current partner's image through negative comments or spreading rumors.
9. Jumping from one relationship to another
This is often an attempt to avoid the pain of breaking up with you and to fill the emotional void.
10. They don't give you back your personal belongings.
If they still keep the clothes, books, or gifts that belonged to you – this is often a way of not completely closing the chapter with you.
11. They make passive-aggressive posts when you achieve something big.
If they react negatively when you get married, graduate, or achieve some success, have no doubt: they are still hurt that you are no longer in their lives.
If you recognize any of these signs, don't take it personally. Most of these behaviors have more to do with their own internal issues than with you. You move on—and leave the past where it belongs.
