Overcoming Retroactive Jealousy: A Guide to Getting Over Your Partner's Past and Finding Peace

By Zachary Stockill

Are you tired of constantly thinking about your partner’s past relationships and/or sexual history?

Are you interested in letting go of constant painful thoughts and anxiety?

What if I told you that you already have the “cure” for overcoming retroactive jealousy? You do — all you need is a little guidance.

I write from the rare perspective of one who has struggled with, and eventually overcome, intense jealousy surrounding my partner's past. I am confident that "Overcoming Retroactive Jealousy" is the only guide you will ever need to letting go of jealous thoughts and anxiety about your partner’s past, overcoming constant unrest and worry, and finding greater peace.

Part One: The Situation contains five chapters that deal with what retroactive jealousy is, what it looks and feels like, where it comes from, and what it means for you.

Part Two: The Solution offers a practical step-by-step program to overcoming retroactive jealousy. In fourteen chapters, I lay out effective strategies, practices, and exercises for confronting, and eventually overcoming, jealousy regarding your partner’s past as painlessly and efficiently as possible. I know they are effective because these exercises and practices are what enabled me to get over my own retroactive jealousy.

I write from the rare perspective of someone who has experienced crippling retroactive jealousy, and through a process of self-exploration, growth, and discovery, eventually overcome it. I wrote "Overcoming Retroactive Jealousy" to tell you that you can do the same.

You might currently feel hopeless; like retroactive jealousy is something that you’ll just be forced to “live with” until you die. You might even be severely depressed, mired in obsessive jealous thoughts and confusion. I’m here to tell you that you are suffering needlessly.

After reading my guidebook you will:

- have access to a new multi-step program that will help you to let go of your jealousy and anxiety
- begin incorporating coping exercises into your daily routine which will reduce your jealous thoughts as soon as they appear
- feel a new sense of optimism and confidence in your ability to grow and overcome retroactive jealousy
- understand what your jealousy is really trying to tell you

Retroactive jealousy forced me to grow, and helped to make me who I am today. Overcoming retroactive jealousy wasn’t easy, but I am undoubtedly a stronger, more confident, more loving and overall better man for having gone through it.

It might not seem like it now, but you too can use jealousy to your advantage. As you progress, you will emerge a stronger, more confident, more attractive, and more loving person and partner — and it’s my pleasure to guide you every step of the way.
