Dating Red Flags: Ex's Stuff Still at His Place After a Year
The Situation
"He still has his ex's stuff at his place after a year"

Keeping an ex's belongings after a year shows he's still emotionally attached and hasn't moved on. It's a huge red flag pointing to his lack of commitment and unresolved feelings, where you're just a placeholder. Don't ignore this!
