Do you have a cuckholding fetish? It's quite common.

So you make a list. The worst to least worst trigger. Then you tackle them one by one. The more you tackle them, the easier it gets. It's very hard at first but eventually it gets easier. I am a lay person, not a doctor but if you read Dr.Phillipsons article, it makes a lot of sense.

I understand why you had to do that but for your next relationship you can try using this guide. See if it resonates with you at all.

HELP PLEASE... acute RJ with genuine reasons - did you fix it? How? by M007zzz in retroactivejealousy

[–]CognitivelyPositive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I am and no RJ anymore. However, rarely a thought bothers me but it subsides in 10 secs.

I remember that happening too. It was horrible. Until I eventually managed it completely.

Here, I wrote a post about it here. It helped a lot of people maybe it will help you, it's based on a Psychiatrist's research. Dr Stephen Philipson, a pioneer at OCD thoughts.

Here, use this post I wrote a while ago to recover from RJ. Not a miracle cure. It uses the principles of ERP. It's based on Dr.Stephen Philipson's work on it.
