What If Your Partner Thinks of Their Ex? (Retroactive Jealousy & Partner Replacement Fantasy)

Are you constantly worried your partner is thinking about their ex? Do old photos, past relationships, or even the idea of them fantasising about someone else fill you with dread? You're not alone. This is retroactive jealousy, and it can be incredibly painful.

As a therapist working with this issue, I'll guide you through the following aspects in this video:

The common "what ifs" that fuel retroactive jealousy, like "What if they miss sex with their ex?" or "What if they're still attracted to them?"
Why the fear usually isn't about them getting back together, but a deeper, more personal anxiety.
The surprising truth about partner-replacement fantasies and what research actually says they mean (hint: it's not what you think!).
Why your partner's past isn't a reflection of your worth or attractiveness.
How developing self-security is key to overcoming retroactive jealousy and finding peace in your relationship.

You'll learn why fighting with retroactive jealousy isn't about controlling your partner's thoughts, but about understanding and strengthening your own sense of self. It's time to stop the cycle of resentment and reclaim your relationship.

If you relate to these feelings, this video offers a new perspective and practical insights to help you move forward.
