How To Know if Your Partner Secretly Thinks About Their Ex
Spoiler alert: there are signs
He’s looking off into the distance, lost in thought. His silence is deafening. You can’t help but wonder what he’s thinking about.
Is he regretting his decision to break up with her? Is he secretly missing her? Or is he just deep in thought about something else entirely?
