5. They’re hung up on an ex (or still with one).
If your partner is recently divorced, separated, coming out of a breakup, or still in a relationship, this is an obvious danger zone.
Everyone heals from a breakup at their own pace, so time is not always a good indication of whether someone is available. However, pay attention to whether your conversations always seem to focus on the ex. Your partner might frequently ask for advice, complain about the ex, or might just give you obvious signs that indicate that they are still in love with an ex.
While this person might be available in the future, be very cautious of falling in love with someone who isn’t fully ready to participate in a new relationship. You run the risk of them returning to an ex or to having a nice rebound fling with you until they heal and get clear that they actually don’t want a relationship. Ouch.
