If your partner's ex keeps in touch with your partner as a 'friend' but demands excessive attention while ignoring and disregarding you and your presence as his partner in his life.
If your partner spends excessive time socialising alone with people without you and insists on such individual fun more often than not. If your partner ignores you while socialising as a couple but gives excessive attention to others.
If your partner is quick to appreciate others in elaborate ways but is either criticising you or rarely acknowledges you. If well-meaning advice from you and constructive feedback is ignored, while at the same time, the same advice from certain others is keenly and attentively listened to.
If birthdays and special occasions of certain others are remembered and celebrated with gusto, while special occasions with you are ignored or grudgingly celebrated. That said, there are extenuating circumstances. Maybe you had a bad day at work. Maybe you're experiencing a bout of depression. Maybe you're sick. Regardless of why you're not feeling your best, hearing your partner succeeding when you feel subpar can produce jealousy.
Rather than probing the jealousy as it is likely somewhat irrational , simply tell your partner you're not feeling your best.
