Dad Starting Over

Retroactive Jealousy: Why Her Past Haunts You (And How to Stop Obsessing)


Listen Later

Men ask me all the time: “Why can’t I stop thinking about her past?” You know she had a life before you… but that doesn’t stop your brain from obsessing over every ex, every hookup, every “what if.”

This is retroactive jealousy. And it’s more common — and more damaging — than most guys realize.

In this episode, I’ll explain the science behind it, how it messes with your head, and what you can do to finally get some peace. This isn’t about shaming you. It’s about helping you understand your own mind — so you can stop sabotaging something good.
