In addition, I am consumed with jealousy over his other exes, including his high school girlfriend and a woman he lived with in the early eighties. I torture myself with the idea that he has idealized them, wishes he could be with them instead of me, and that I can never measure up to them as a partner. I also worry that he will leave me for someone else. He did this with a past girlfriend, but he says he learned from that experience and would not be so quick to do it again.
I am frantic over this. At my age, anyone I get involved with is going to have ex-girlfriends and maybe ex-wives, so it’s completely unrealistic to expect to be this man’s only great love.
Irrational jealousy, and that’s the brand you’re servin’ up, is abuse. Your boyfriend has had lovers in the past, as you have, and you need to get the fuck over it–what are you paying that shrink for? Demand results. If you spend all your time worrying about whether or not this relationship will come to shit, it will come to shit. Which is not to say that trusting him–not worrying–guarantees the relationship won’t come to shit, it might. But it definitely will if you don’t get your irrational jealousy under control.
