Reactive Jealously?
Im 20 months out from my exH, who left me and my children, post affair for my best friend and neighbour, they are till together now which is really hard.
Ive worked lots of myself with therapy, EDMR, exercise and studying. Im happier without him but at times it's still hard, co-parenting with a covert narcissist who likes to rewrite history and make up stories is difficult.
I have moved on and met a lovely kind man, who makes me happy. But recently Ive developed Reactive Jealousy on his past dating, stalking his social and obsessed with his past girlfriends thinking I'm not good enough. Has anyone else experienced this? Im also finding uncertainty on the relationship hard (I know, no relationship is certain)
Ive booked to start therapy again from this and done some research and apparently, it's a sign of OCD with the mind loops and is common post ptsd and trauma.
Any help appreciated. Not sure how long this lasts but it's pretty brutal.
