@choosingtherapy: Retroactive is different from regular jealousy because it is focused on the past, rather than things happening in the present. For example, it is jealousy over a person’s previous relationship, rather than them flirting with a coworker. This often makes things difficult, because it is impossible to change the past. Retroactive jealousy usually does not have anything to do with the partner’s current actions, such as behaving in a way that warrants suspicion. It is often due to one’s insecurity about themselves or the current relationship. Focusing on the past reinforces the insecurity that they already feel, and can make them feel like they are not good enough for their partner.

Mostly i dont want to hear about his past but he is a man of nothing but oversharing bc he wants to be open but KNOWING IS THE ISSUE. I dont want to.

I've know about this for a while, tried everything in therapy, journalism, avoid social media, but even after months of forgetting, it resurfaced

I used to be like this but honestly I had a reason. He kept checking up on his ex on fb or hunting down any sort of social media presence she had just to see how she was doing…. And that relationship

it's almost as if we live in a generation where having high body counts before you're out of high school is normalized. So ofc, people with genuine intentions are looked at as "jealous" or "insecure"

These are all healthy things. I don’t see jealousy just curiosity in finding a partner
