"Competing with an ex who got away"

0

I've struggled with retroactive jealousy, obsessing over my boyfriend's ex who he had a fast and intense relationship with before me. I feel like I'm in competition with her, even though we've been dating for over a year.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to let go of my jealousy and trust my boyfriend more"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest with your partner about your feelings and try to focus on your own relationship rather than comparing it to others"
