Dear Matt,
I think the guy I am seeing is still hung up on his ex-girlfriend. He says they are just friends and that she is going through a bad time, but I am convinced there is something more than that going on. Help!
Don’t wonder any longer. I have a few signs that may help you figure out whether or not his ex has ex-ited his life (in a romantic sense) for good.
1. He mentions her often, but tries to make it seem like a natural part of a story or conversation. It’s almost as if she is looming somewhere in the back of his mind and he subconsciously brings her up as much as possible.
2. He answers her calls and texts regularly. This is not a good sign. Usually people who are broken up do not correspond so there might still be something there.
3. He helps her with small “boyfriend-like” tasks. Most guys dread home improvement jobs with their current girlfriends, let alone an ex. If he is more than willing to still be her handyman, he is not the man for you.
