ASMR 💔 Why you can’t stop thinking about your partner’s past

If you can’t stop thinking about your partner’s past, you’re so not alone. Retroactive jealousy is way more common than people think, and it can feel like your brain is stuck on a loop you didn’t ask for. In this video, we’ll talk about why this happens, what’s actually going on in your mind, and why those intrusive thoughts feel so real and so intense. I’ll walk you through the psychology behind, so you can understand what’s happening and start loosening its grip. Get comfy, grab a drink, and let’s unpack this together 🫶🏼 Paper mentioned in the video: Blayney, R., & Burgess, M. (2024).

To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).

To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
