In today’s video, I discuss whether overcoming retroactive jealousy means being “indifferent to my partner’s past.”
Read or watch below to learn whether overcoming retroactive jealousy means being indifferent to my partner’s past and how to set healthy boundaries.
Figuring this out while you’re single makes dating so much easier and more efficient.
When you have that level of clarity before exploring new relationships, you save yourself time, energy, and potential heartache.
All of this is to say that, standing here today—and ever since I overcame retroactive jealousy—nothing has changed in that regard.
No, I am not indifferent to the past, and I’m not saying that anyone should be.
That said, many of my coaching clients struggle with worries about ghosts—things from their partner’s past that, in reality, don’t actually matter.
I don’t think you should be indifferent to the past, but I do believe it’s important to take the time to carefully consider what actually matters when it comes to your partner’s history.
