Ever find yourself going down a social media rabbit hole, picturing your partner's past relationships? Yeah, us too. It happens to the best of us. But when that curiosity turns into full-blown jealousy, it can zap the joy out of your current love life. ⚡

Here's the deal: Your partner's past doesn't define them. They chose YOU for a reason! But if you're struggling to let go, this email's for you.

Why Can't I Stop Reliving Their Past?

It's normal to be curious, but sometimes those questions turn into intrusive thoughts. This is called "retroactive jealousy," and it can be a real drag. But don't worry, there's hope!

3 Steps to Break Free From the Past:

1. Acceptance 

Let go of the need to control their past. It's theirs, and that's okay.

2. Reframe Your Thoughts

Instead of seeing their past as a threat, see it as part of their journey that led them to you. ✨

3. Build Your Self-Worth

Focus on how awesome YOU are! A confident partner is a happy partner.

Bonus Tip: Communication is key! Talk openly and honestly with your partner.

"Don't let the ghosts of your partner's past haunt your present relationship. Focus on building a future together, brick by loving brick."
