Signs Your Ex Is Pretending To Be Over You
How do you know your ex is pretending to be over you? Here are the signs.
1. Your ex can’t seem to take his or her eyes off of you.
If you catch your ex looking at you and swiftly turning his or her gaze away from you, not just once, but several times, you may be almost assured that your ex still has feelings for you.
When people look away from each other’s eyes, they are showing curiosity, attention, and—most importantly—respect for each other.
Seeing this sign means your ex has become conscious of his or her nonverbal communication and consequently places an excessive amount of emphasis on pretending to be over you.
The nonverbal communication of your ex becomes hyperactive as a result, improving perception and, coincidentally, attitude & responses to external stimuli.
Your ex gives in to the pressure and starts pretending to be over you as a result of constant anxiety. That is to say, an overly-concerned ex has difficulty regulating his or her emotions and thus displays behavior that is inconsistent with his or her personality.
Humans rarely give any thought to what it’s like to be normal (not anxious). They’re only expressing themselves. The same can be said about those who lie. When they begin to feel pressured as a result of their lies and deceit, they emit an extremely fake signal that can be detected. This is an indication that they are still interested in you and that you have an emotional impact on them.
So, if you’re having problems figuring out what your ex’s genuine intentions are because of a lack of communication, try looking him or her in the eyes instead.
2. Your ex is attempting to show that he or she is no longer interested in you.
It’s a telltale indicator that your ex isn’t over you just yet if he constantly defends himself when others tease him or her.
As a result, your ex will look for reasons to justify his or her feelings for you. If your ex is unable to locate any proof, he or she will invent one in order to defend their behavior.
Dumpers will sometimes go to great lengths to demonstrate how “unaffected” they are by the separation. They behave in such an unpredictable and unnatural manner as a result of the breakup that their family and friends are immediately aware of their unusual behavior.
Psychologically, the more we focus on what we do not want, the more we reveal what we do want.
It’s particularly true when you desire something so desperately that you keep thinking about it for so long that you exhibit evident signs of anxiousness while doing so.
3. Nonverbal cues to watch out for
Former partners who pretend to be over you will display obvious non-verbal cues that are difficult to ignore.
This is due to the fact that our bodies, from head to toe, respond to our surroundings. They serve as a reflection of our thoughts, desires, anxieties, and even insecurities, among other things.
Here are five of the most noticeable non-verbal indicators that your ex is pretending to be over you:
There are a plethora of ways to detect if your ex is pretending to be in love with someone else. In the event that you get the opportunity to visit your ex in person, the signals listed above are the most obvious things to look out for.
The fact that your ex is uneasy or contemptuous of you should not be misconstrued as an indication that your ex is pretending to be over you. It is a symptom of guilt, shame, and the desire to flee if your ex will not look you in the eyes.
4. Attempting to make you jealous
Despite the fact that this is an out-of-the-book dumpee tactic, dumpers are also guilty of attempting to make their ex jealous.
Exes will sometimes go above and beyond to demonstrate how much pleasure they are experiencing with other people by posting pictures of it all over their Facebook pages. They do this by purposefully setting traps for dumpees to fall into. Unfortunately, dumpers aren’t usually fooled.
Ex-spouses are able to tell when their partner is in agony or not having as much pleasure as he or she is making it appear that they are.
Most of the time, those dumpers who fall for it end up being annoyed by it. They believe their ex is posting too frequently and too soon and that their ex should instead focus on self-investment.
In order to instill jealousy in the minds of dumpees, dumpers employ a variety of strategies. In most cases, they employ indirect methods that preserve their dignity.
Dumpers make every effort to arouse the jealousy of dumpees by doing the following:
- uploading photographs of themselves with their new lover
- displaying their newfound friendship
- expressing their utter delight at how happy they are
- faking to get over the dumpee
- making fun of their previous relationship
- wearing clothing that is both revealing and enticing
5. Extremely aggressive stalking
One of the best indicators that your ex is pretending to be over you is if you can catch him tracking you on social media incessantly.
This means that your ex is concerned about you to some extent as long as he or she maintains an eye on you. Experiencing anger and resentment does not demonstrate that your ex is concerned about you, but tracking you and closely monitoring your every movement does.
Your ex will make every effort to keep his or her feelings for you hidden from you, as well as from your ex’s friends, family, and anybody else who is associated with your ex.
So, what are the signs your ex is pretending to be over you on social media?
Keeping an eye on who you spend your time with, where you go in your spare time, and how you’re holding on after the split is just a few of the symptoms that your ex is pretending to be over you.
6. Refusing to return your belongings to you
Another possible indication that your ex is only pretending to be over you is if your ex refuses to return your belongings.
If you ask your ex to return your belongings and he refused to do so without providing a fair explanation, it is likely that your ex is acting with ulterior reasons.
7. Remembering the past
Dumpees generally hold on to their prior memories much more tightly than dumpers do. This is due to the fact that they are engulfed in misery, whereas dumpers are filled with relief and rage and require some alone time.
Nostalgia is a strong sensation that many people experience. In fact, dumpees are well aware of how bittersweet it can be when they look back at old photos, chats, and anything else that reminds them of their dumper. This keeps them from going nuts and keeps their hopes for a future together afloat.
Presents, photographs, and mementos from the past can elicit strong nostalgic feelings in even the most jaded of people—even dumpers. This is one of the signs your ex is pretending to be over you and that he or she may be regretful for having caused you pain.
It’s possible to tell that your ex is faking it when:
- keeps albums and memories of past relationships on hand
- refuses to take down photos that have been published on social media
- customized presents such as love notes and jewelry are kept in a safe place
8. Interacting with you and inquiring about you
The more often your ex speaks about you in a neutral or favorable tone, the more respect he or she has for you as a person on a subliminal level.
An angry or indifferent person wouldn’t ask about you or speak about you in a nice way.
Dumpers and dumpees are frequently compared to water and oil. They just do not mingle because they do not want to be in the same place at the same time.
Know that someone who doesn’t like you will not talk about or ask your family and friends a ton of questions about you. In order to give your ex the space he or she requires, it is possible that he or she will avoid talking about you.
Of course, just because your ex asks one question about you does not imply that he or she is pretending to be over you. But daily questioning could.
The dumpee must be able to tell the difference between genuine feelings and merely a desire to know. Curiosity is normal, and it’s often the driving force behind dumpers reaching out. It’s a breadcrumb that won’t stick around for long, whereas an ex who still has feelings for you will want to know what you’re up to since not knowing will cause him or her distress.
In other words, if your ex is being a little nosy, don’t automatically conclude that your ex desires you back. Your ex-boyfriend is probably a little jealous of you. Particularly if your ex asks you questions such as:
- Is she in a relationship with anyone?
- What exactly is she doing right now?
- Who are her new acquaintances?
- Why isn’t she talking to me?
9. Constant communication.
In the event that a person is genuinely interested in you, he or she will give you his or her full attention and refuse to let you go until the task at hand has been completed. And your ex-boyfriend won’t just do this once.
Your ex will do it over and over again because not talking to you causes him to feel anxious and panicked.
When your ex causes you to feel important by giving his undivided attention, you can be sure that your ex still harbors romantic feelings for you.
Other than that, your ex-partner would not be in regular contact with you and would not be showing signs of concern for your well-being.
10. Your ex becomes jealous and envious of you.
An ex who is jealous of your success or envious of your current partner is a sign your ex wants to see you again and wants to get back together.
An individual threat can be real or imagined. It almost always comes from low self-esteem and a desire to connect with the person of one’s heart.
The most likely reason your ex is jealous of you is that they admire your accomplishments and wish they could have them too.
Signs Your Ex Is Pretending To Be Over You Through Text
Breakups are never easy, and it’s natural to feel a range of emotions in the aftermath. But sometimes, it’s hard to tell if your ex is really over you, or if they’re just pretending. If you’re receiving text messages from your ex, here are some signs that they may be pretending to be over you:
They text you often: If your ex still texts you, they aren’t yet prepared to give up. They may be trying to stay connected with you in the hopes of rekindling the relationship.
They use flirty or suggestive language: If your ex is using flirty or suggestive language in their texts, it’s a sign that they’re not over you. They may be trying to gauge your interest or test the waters to see if there’s a chance of getting back together.
They bring up old memories: If your ex is bringing up old memories or inside jokes, it’s a sign that they’re still holding on to the past. They may be trying to relive the good times in the hopes of sparking something again.
They’re overly interested in your life: If your ex is asking a lot of questions about your life, it’s a sign that they’re not ready to let go. They may be trying to keep tabs on you in the hopes of finding a way back into your life.
They get defensive or angry: If you mention moving on or dating someone else, and your ex responds with defensiveness or anger, it’s a sign that they’re not really over you. They may be feeling jealous or threatened and trying to hold on to what they once had.
If you’re seeing these signs from your ex, it’s important to be honest with yourself about what you want. If you’re hoping to move on, it may be best to limit contact with your ex and focus on your own healing. If you’re open to the possibility of reconciliation, it may be worth having an honest conversation with your ex about your feelings and seeing if there’s a chance to work things out.
Signs Your Ex Is Waiting For You
They acknowledge their part in the breakup that was ultimately their fault.
Arguing who is to blame. Each of us has participated in the game numerous times. You’re responsible for this. You are to blame for our relationship failing. Everything bad that’s happening is because of you.
If, on the other hand, they switch from “you” to “I” and claim responsibility for their part in the breakup and the end of the relationship, this is a clear indication that they want to restart the relationship.
Remembering the good old days.
They still have feelings for you, but that is a very different thing from waiting for you to return. This is a clear sign that your ex wants you back if they are bringing up times when you were both head over heels in love with each other.
When your ex wants to get back with you, they might say things like:
Do you recall our trip to Honolulu? The first night you were here, you got drunk and started dancing on the beach. The good old days…
Don’t you remember when we’d take a long drive after work to go get frozen yogurt? I was wondering if you could tell me the name of that shop.
When they’re keen to spend time in your company
This is undeniable proof that your ex-partner has not moved on. If they’ve already moved on, why should they spend time with you?
Let’s say your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend texts you.
It indicates that they want to hang out with you, but you’re unsure if this is one of the most significant indications that your ex still wants to be with you.
Have a serious conversation with yourself before agreeing to meet them. Have you prepared yourself emotionally to see them again?
Making an effort to better themselves.
Can you tell that your ex’s behavior has changed? Just like how they always made you wait for them and were always late to a dinner date when you were together. But they’re making an effort to improve these days. They’re trying to impress you by being punctual today.
There’s hope for mending your broken relationship with them. They will prove to you that they have the potential to improve. A change in any form is possible.
Whether it’s their outward appearance or an annoying habit, you’ll know your ex still cares about you if they make an effort to change it.
They fill you in on every detail of their recent life.
This is a surefire indication that your ex-lover has designs on you as his or her new flame. Let’s pretend you set up a coffee date with them. The conversation begins in a formal manner but quickly turns in the opposite direction.
They begin discussing the personal and professional shifts that have occurred in their lives. They are completely open about everything that is happening in their lives.
Perhaps they got a raise at work, fell ill after you broke up, or adopted a pet as a distraction from their ruminating over the relationship’s downfall.
So why would they share any detail, no matter how insignificant, of their life with you? Perhaps it’s because they’re yearning to mend fences and reconnect. This is an indication that your ex still has feelings for you.
They want to be friends with you again.
Can you really be “just friends” with an ex-lover? It’s been 60 days since the breakup, so that’s a complicated situation. Then, suddenly, they decide they want to be friends with you. Personally, I’ve never believed that exes could ever be friends.
It’s either possible to reconcile with an ex during the friendship period following a breakup, or the friendship could end badly if the proper boundaries are not observed.
A classic sign that your ex still hasn’t moved on from you. This is why they secretly long to be a part of your life again.
