Why exes get jealous when you move on: A deeper look
The Situation
"She ended things but gets upset when I move on"
The Brutal Truth
She’s upset because she wants you to still want her, even though she ended things. It’s selfish behavior that indicates she lacks clarity about her own feelings and is grappling with her own insecurities.
❌ What NOT to Do (Anxious Response)
An anxious person might try to reach out or plead for clarification, fearing abandonment and hoping to rekindle things. This is the wrong move because it keeps you stuck in a cycle of uncertainty and fuels her mixed signals.
