I try to brush it off, but I can feel the tension building between us. His retrojealousy casts a shadow over our relationship. I love him, but I\u2019m starting to feel suffocated by his constant comparisons. He\u2019s competing with a past that no longer exists, and I don\u2019t know how to make him see that. <em>Is this a phase, or is it something deeper?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>At first, I thought it was just a passing insecurity, something that would fade as our relationship grew stronger. But the more time passes, the more I realize that this jealousy has a grip on him that runs deep. It\u2019s not just about my exes\u2014it\u2019s about his fear that he\u2019ll never measure up. And that fear is slowly creeping into every part of our relationship. I miss the easy, lighthearted days we once had before these ghosts started haunting us. Now, I\u2019m afraid that if he doesn\u2019t let go, we\u2019ll both end up prisoners to a past that was never meant to be part of our future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the little things that make it hard\u2014the way he casually asks about an old boyfriend when we\u2019re out to dinner, or how he\u2019ll suddenly bring up&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/findpath.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/findpath.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/findpath.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findpath.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findpath.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11333"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/findpath.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11335,"href":"https:\/\/findpath.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11333\/revisions\/11335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/findpath.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findpath.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findpath.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
