3 Signs That Your Ex Misses You

By Beth E Peterson


The emotions that you're feeling in the wake of your breakup are perfectly normal. The doubt and despair as well as the confusion and sadness over your loss strike your heart like an arrow. Trying to sort out what your ex might be feeling can leave you perplexed and grasping at straws as you attempt to decipher what your ex says and what they do. Does your ex still love you or was it all a dream?

You are probably having a difficult enough time with your emotions and your life at the moment. Trying to unravel what is going on inside the mind of your ex is almost impossible. You need to know, though. You want to know if there is a spark of love left in their heart. Can you fan that flame and make that love burst to life once again? Knowing that your ex is still in love with you can give you that hope and help you to remain patient as your ex works through their emotions and feelings. These signs will tell you everything you need to know about what lies in their heart.

First, have you heard from family or friends that your ex has been in touch? Has your ex reached out to people that you know in an attempt to find out how you're doing or if you still have feelings for them? This is almost a sure sign that your ex is still in love with you. Connecting with mutual friends or talking with your family is a subtle way for your ex to connect with you without actually talking with you.

You might be tempted to give your friends or family members the third degree when you hear that your ex contacted them. Resist this urge and instead remain cool and calm. Keep your private emotions and thoughts to yourself. It might be tempting to drop a few hints to your mutual friends that you miss your ex or that you are hoping to get back together. This will only make things uncomfortable for your friends and family. Make your ex contact you directly if they want to know what is going on in your life. Leave your friends and family out of your private matters until the day comes when you let them know that you're back together with your ex.

Perhaps your ex has actually tried to contact you directly. Maybe they called you or sent you a text message asking how you were or offering to give you some of the things that they still have from when you were together. This is another very good sign that your ex still has feelings for you or that they miss you. It's only natural that your ex is going to miss you. When that loss becomes overwhelming they will attempt to ease that pain by contacting you so they can hear your voice and feel that connection again. All of this is a very good sign that your ex still loves you.

Be careful not to get too excited or to think that this is your chance to get back together with your ex. Be cool and calm. If you feel that you can't remain calm and you feel the desire to beg your ex to take you back, postpone your meeting or avoid picking up the phone. Until you self-confidence has returned, you are only going to push your ex away by talking too much or bringing up the subject of getting back together. This contact from your ex is a good sign but it can be a trap that will cause you to push them further away in an attempt to get back together.

The next place that you are probably looking for clues that will tell you what your ex feels for you is social networking websites. There's a good chance that both of you are looking at each others profiles and spying on each other. This might not be the best idea but it happens. If you notice that your ex is posting a lot of photos that show how happy they are or status messages about what they're doing then you can be sure that these messages are for you. Does it look like your ex is trying just a little bit too hard to convince the world that they're happy? If so then there's a good chance that they're missing you a lot.

It can be dangerous to spy on your ex using their social networking profile. Sometimes it's better to live in ignorant bliss. Be sure that you're in a positive mood and understand that there is always a logical explanation for whatever you find. You might be tempted to become hurt or angry if your ex appears to be having a great time without you but keep in mind that often when someone is trying to convince the world that everything is fine, there are problems just underneath the surface. People often cover deep wounds with partying and acting as if things are just a little too wonderful to be true. An ex that posts picture of themselves with a new partner or a status update saying how happy they are is usually on the brink of falling apart. Be sure that you have your life together since this is your cue that they are about to implode.

If you notice any of these signs that your ex misses you and is still in love with you, keep this information to yourself. Be happy about it but be patient. Don't try to reach out to your ex or confront them with this knowledge. Remain hopeful and work on getting your life and self-esteem back before you attempt to bring up the subject of getting back together. Let your ex fall in love with you all over again. There will come a breaking point and there's a very good chance that your ex is close to reaching that point. Be ready to catch them when they fall and understand that pushing your ex or trying to convince them to come back to you simply isn't going to work.
