Do you think your partner is still over their ex? These are the signs that confirm it.
Divorces aren't easy, but it's even harder to start a new relationship if you don't think your partner is over their ex. These are warning signs that let you know to pay attention.
1. They often (and negatively) talk about themselves
A person who has not gotten over their ex-partner will often talk negatively about their past relationship and its qualities. She will also often get involved in conversations about her ex if at all possible. If this pattern repeats itself often, it may be a sign that the person still harbors strong feelings for their former partner.

If someone still hasn't gotten over their ex, they may react very emotionally when the ex is mentioned. Either with anger, sadness, disappointment or even crying. Such a strong reaction shows that the emotional ties with the ex are still present.
3. Reticence to answer questions about the ex
One of the signs that a person has not yet gotten over an ex or it is also typical of the ex to avoid comments on this topic. This means that she may become reluctant or even unwilling to talk about her ex. This can be a sign that they are trying suppress emotions or they get over the relationship in their own way.

If someone keeps and treasures items that remind them of their former relationship, it can be a sign that they are not completely over the relationship. These things can be memories of shared moments and show an emotional attachment.
5. They may not be ready for a serious relationship
Often, people who have strong feelings for ex-partners are not ready and mature for a new relationship. They may be afraid of being disappointed again, or they may have trouble fully committing to a new partner because of an emotional attachment to their ex.

A person who is still in regular contact with their ex-partner may still have emotional ties to them. Although in some cases it is possible to maintain friendly relations with an ex, regular and physical communication can be an indicator that the person is not yet ready to take a step forward.
