Understanding Retroactive Jealousy
Retroactive jealousy entails feeling envious or threatened by your partner's past relationships. This type of jealousy is often triggered by internal fears and insecurities, rather than actual actions by your partner. It can lead to compulsive behaviors like incessantly comparing yourself to their ex-partners or seeking reassurance. Retroactive jealousy can stem from past relationship trauma, overthinking, insecurity, and self-sabotage, often manifesting as a coping mechanism for deep-rooted vulnerabilities and sensitivities.
