Talk about bad timing. During orgasm, the mind is totally uninhibited, making it easier for someone else’s name to slip out, one Great Therapist Gray says. That kind of a mistake usually suggests unresolved feelings for an ex.
6. Keeping Mementos
Looking at souvenirs from a relationship is part of the healing process. But it’s time to let go of the reminders when the feelings are resolved. Your partner doesn’t need to set the favourite sweatshirt and all those love letters out on the curb. But they should be out of everyday reach.
As for photos on display, it’s one thing to have a group picture that includes a past partner on the wall. It’s another to erect a shrine to that person or plaster the bedroom with a display of the glory days together.
You can gently and tactfully suggest keeping those pretty frames and filling them together with new memories of the two of you.
7. Hot and Cold Romance
Now this is for the married. Watch out for a partner who turns affections on and off. It might be a sign of inner turmoil. Your partner may be cold and pull away when feeling guilty about not having given the same kind of love in the past relationship. Then the passion may get turned up again when your partner feels guilty for withdrawing from you right.
8. Your Partner Says He or She’s Not Ready to Commit
One of the symptoms of not being ready to move on is the “I love you, but I’m not in love with you” talk or, “I’m into you, but I still want to see others.” If a longstanding relationship isn’t moving to the next level, then the roadblock could be another person from the past.
“When someone is wondering, ‘Should I go back? Why didn’t it work?’ it can build a barrier to moving forward.
9. Trouble in the Bedroom
Having problems keeping an erection or reaching orgasm can be a symptom of an emotional hang-up. The guilt can create a sense of unworthiness and hold someone back from fully surrendering to a new partner. However, that many other factors can affect bedroom performance, such as depression, high estrogen levels, excessive belly fat, and drug abuse.
