It\u2019s something that\u2019s been creeping into our marriage more and more, and I don\u2019t know how to handle it. He keeps comparing himself to men I dated long before we even met, as if they\u2019re still part of the equation when, in reality, they\u2019ve been out of my life for years.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just occasional curiosity. He\u2019ll bring up questions I\u2019ve already answered or dig into details I\u2019ve never shared, almost like he\u2019s trying to solve a puzzle that doesn\u2019t exist. \u201cDid you love him more than me?\u201d or \u201cWas he better looking?\u201d are questions that leave me speechless because no matter how I answer, it feels like I\u2019m walking on eggshells. Sometimes, it feels like he\u2019s searching for flaws in himself through the lens of my past, and no amount of reassurance seems to put his mind at ease.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve tried to be patient, explaining that those relationships didn\u2019t last for a reason, and that my life before him doesn\u2019t diminish what we have now. But his fixation makes me feel like I\u2019m being punished for things that shouldn\u2019t even matter. I find myself wondering if this is more than just jealousy\u2014if it\u2019s a deeper insecurity or even a control issue.<\/p>\n<p>I love my husband, but his constant need to measure himself against men who have no place in my life anymore is exhausting. It\u2019s like he\u2019s stuck in a competition he\u2019s created in his mind, and I\u2019m left questioning how we can move forward when he\u2019s so focused on looking back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-2 flex gap-3 empty:hidden -ml-2\">\n<div class=\"items-center justify-start rounded-xl p-1 flex\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center\"><button class=\"rounded-lg text-token-text-secondary hover:bg-token-main-surface-secondary\" aria-label=\"Read aloud\" data-testid=\"voice-play-turn-action-button\"><\/button><button class=\"rounded-lg text-token-text-secondary hover:bg-token-main-surface-secondary\" aria-label=\"Copy\" data-testid=\"copy-turn-action-button\"><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex\"><\/div>\n<p><button class=\"rounded-lg text-token-text-secondary hover:bg-token-main-surface-secondary\" aria-label=\"Edit in canvas\"><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex items-center pb-0\"><span class=\"overflow-hidden text-clip whitespace-nowrap text-sm\">4o<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\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>My husband has a habit of obsessing over my past relationships.
