5. Responding honestly when asked about the ex
“I was only being honest, and I only told her because she asked” Some guys are honest to a fault, and might even compliment their ex-girlfriend in front of you without realizing it will make you feel insecure. Instead of silently brooding about it, try and give a snide, but clear remark like, “It’s a shame you had to break up with your cute ex-girlfriend,” to remind him that compliments about his ex don’t make you feel great.
