Overcoming Retroactive Jealousy: A Guide to Getting Over Your Partner's Past and Finding Peace Paperback – October 18, 2014
Purchase options and add-ons
Are you tired of constantly thinking about your partner's past relationships and/or dating history?
Do you want to learn how to let go of intrusive, obsessive thoughts, anxiety, and curiosity about your partner’s past?
Wouldn’t it feel great to be free from retroactive jealousy, and be able to move forward in your relationship without worrying about the past?
What if I told you that you already have the “cure” for overcoming retroactive jealousy?
You do—all you need is the proper guidance. And that's where Overcoming Retroactive Jealousy comes in.
Written from the perspective of one who struggled with, and overcame obsessive jealousy surrounding a partner's past, Overcoming Retroactive Jealousy is the only book you will ever need to let go of jealous thoughts, curiosity, and anxiety about your partner’s past relationships/sexual history.
AFTER READING YOU WILL:
• have access to a multi-step program that will help you to let go of your jealousy and anxiety
• begin incorporating coping exercises into your daily routine which will eliminate your jealous thoughts as soon as they appear
• feel a new sense of optimism and confidence in your ability to grow and overcome retroactive jealousy
• understand what your jealousy is really about, and have a concrete plan of action for overcoming it, and moving forward
You might currently feel hopeless; like retroactive jealousy is something that you’ll just be forced to “live with” until you die. You might even be severely depressed, mired in obsessive jealous thoughts and confusion.
Overcoming Retroactive Jealousy will show you that you are suffering needlessly—and show you the way forward.
In nineteen chapters, author and coach Zachary Stockill (featured in BBC News) outlines a series of time-tested strategies, practices, and exercises for overcoming intrusive thoughts about a partner’s past as painlessly and efficiently as possible.
A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Several years ago, I experienced crippling retroactive jealousy. It disrupted my career, destroyed my relationship, and provoked months of anguish. But thankfully, through a process of self-exploration, growth, and discovery, I managed to overcome it.
Based on my experience, and years of research with fellow sufferers, I wrote this book to give you a step-by-step program to help you do the same, and overcome retroactive jealousy as quickly and easily as possible.
I know that this step-by-step program works because since 2013 my book has helped thousands of readers get over retroactive jealousy, and regain control. I now know that my jealousy was actually a blessing in disguise. As I write to you today, I am undoubtedly a stronger, more confident, more loving, and overall better man for having gone through it.
It might not seem like it now, but you too can use your jealousy to your advantage. As you overcome retroactive jealousy, you will emerge a stronger, more confident, more attractive, and more loving person and partner.
So whether you’re struggling with your girlfriend’s past, wife’s past, husband’s past, or your boyfriend’s past, you need to know that you have the power to move forward and kiss obsessive, intrusive thoughts goodbye.
You can get a hold on your brain, and patterns of constant curiosity and obsessive thinking.
You can move forward in your relationship without the burden and strain of retroactive jealousy.
You can be the partner you want to be—you just have to understand where retroactive jealousy comes from, and how to deal with it.
So let’s get started!
Get your copy of the bestselling book on the market for overcoming retroactive jealousy, and join thousands of readers who have regained control, and found peace.

For example, I dealt with Retroactive Jealousy regularly while I lived in the same town as my wife’s ex-boyfriend, and when we moved, there was a significant improvement. Zach’s discussion of triggers provided some excellent insight into why this was the case, and I could look back and see what the actual triggers were. Plus, now I can avoid triggers. Although the example of the field and clouds seems simple, I have used this as a reminder to move on and not entertain the thoughts of your partner and her past partners. It is all about controlling your thoughts and emotions and not going down the rabbit hole that will destroy you and your relationship. It is not the curse but the power you give the curse that influences your life. I told my wife I was reading the book, and she was quite pleased. I shared some of what I was doing with her, and now she can hold me accountable. If you are experiencing Retroactive Jealousy, take the time and do the work Zach suggests. I am currently working on the letters he offers writing. This is very therapeutic. On a side note, forgiveness was my key over the years.
It hasn't even been a month since I purchased the book, and it has already been an immense help. I'm finally sleeping better, I'm eating better and exercising, and I haven't had any anxiety associated with thoughts of my partners past in what feels like a good, long while. The thoughts still pop up, as I am still only a month in my journey to overcome retroactive jealousy, but they don't affect me nearly as much as they did in the past 4 years of my current relationship.
If you, or someone else you know and care about, is suffering from retroactive jealousy, buy this book. Seriously, it's the best 10 dollars I've ever spent. I highly recommend it on Kindle, as sometimes its helpful to review parts of the book and so it's great to have it on my phone. Also, if you ever see this Zachary, I truly can't find the words that can express my gratitude. Thank you just doesn't feel like enough.
