His retroactive jealousy has crept into our marriage like a silent storm, building tension that I never saw coming. Every day, it\u2019s as if he\u2019s at war\u2014not with me, but with the men I once knew. He\u2019ll casually bring them up in conversation, asking things that seem harmless at first, but then the questions turn deeper, more probing.<\/p>\n<p>He wants to know if they treated me better than he does. He wonders if I loved them more, if they gave me something he can\u2019t. I try to tell him that the past is just that\u2014something I\u2019ve moved on from, something that doesn\u2019t define who we are now. But he can\u2019t let it go. It\u2019s as though, in his mind, he\u2019s competing with men who aren\u2019t even here, fighting battles that don\u2019t need to be fought.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to explain how exhausting it is to reassure someone again and again, knowing that your words fall on deaf ears. I see the insecurity in his eyes, the way he doubts himself, and it breaks my heart. But I don\u2019t know how to fix it. His comparisons to my past are pushing me away, and I\u2019m afraid that one day, the distance he\u2019s creating will be too much to bridge.<\/p>\n<p>How do you save a marriage from something that only exists in someone\u2019s mind? I wish he could see that he\u2019s the only one who matters to me now, but his jealousy is a monster I can\u2019t tame.<\/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>I never imagined my husband would become so fixated on my past.
