Forgive me if this isn’t the right sub but I wanted to ask to get some different opinions.
I’ve suffered from retroactive jealousy ever since I’ve been with my partner of 3 years. If you don’t know what it is it’s basically being jealous of your partners intimate past
It’s not nearly as bad now, and there are times where I completely forget about it. But it’s always there , just lingering in the back of my mind , like a fly that won’t go away. Honestly at this point of accepted the fact that I will always have this problem.
Yes I have gone to the rj sub Reddit , but I really wanted to ask in a place where people are little bit more level headed instead of having the same problem as me and just telling me to “break up” because that’s the only solution that they see for themselves. (I also didn’t want to go onto the relationship advice subreddit because you have to have a very detailed title and I don’t like that, makes me anxious someone I know will see it 😵💫)
Is this something I should really consider therapy for , or are there some people who think I should actually break up? I’m just curious as I love my partner very much and want this to work.
I guess I’m just asking for some words of encouragement rather than advice. If anyone wants to dm me so I can explain in a little more detail about my situation that would be helpful too. We met through a friend that was dating him at the time for a little bit more info. Maybe that puts things into a different perspective? Is there anyone who can relate to me at all? Any advice would be appreciated. Tia
