Boyfriend can't get over his ex

How can you tell if he’s not really over his ex? Do you ever get the feeling that there are three people in your relationship, you, your guy and his ex? Here are five warning signs:

1. If you started dating a guy just shortly after his latest breakup, there’s a good chance he’s not completely over his ex. He wasted no time before jumping into his next relationship isn't always a good sign for your relationship.

2. He fell for you before his relationship ended. These guys are just bad news. It doesn’t matter if he says the relationship is bad, he has a cheating mentality and if he cheats on her, he probably wouldn’t have a problem with cheating on you.

3. If your new guy can’t say his ex’s name without spitting, this is another warning sign. He only deals in extremes When it comes to his ex.

4. He can’t break the string. If they were together for a long, long time, there’s also some reason for contact or they have kids in common, but if neither situation applies, and he still won’t stop talking to his ex, this show that he can’t break the string.

5. If he’s always checking her Facebook profile or you catch him poring over old pictures, you could also have a problem. He obsesses over the remnants of the relationship.

If you found those signs in your relationship, the key to making it work is both of you being willing to talk openly about his old relationship and his feelings about his ex.
