What is Rebecca's syndrome? Couples increasingly separate from it

Have you ever heard of this syndrome? We're talking about what refers to some kind of retroactive jealousy and concern about the feeling of jealousy when you know your partner's sentimental and sexual past.

Rebekah's Syndrome

A little healthy jealousy toward a partner never hurts. We have all tried it at least once in our lives. The important thing is that it is healthy jealousy that does not get sick and that will ruin relationships with one's mate. And actually, both lives. When we talk about back - free jealousy, it can be devastating.

Name comes from Alfred Hitchcock's movie. A widow marries for the second time until the ghost of his dead wife Rebecca appears and tries to separate the couple. This form of jealousy disturbs relationships and likely leads couples to separation.

How do we know him?

Obsessive suffering requires details about past emotional and sexual life. He makes constant comparisons between himself and his former partner, wants information, details, wants to know more. When talking about the matter, the person appears upset. Everything comes as a product of imagination, and that does not allow the couple to live free from the bond or love of the moment.

What should you do?

It must be admitted that the partner had a past. And there's one or more ex. If we talk about it, we should always do it quietly, because so far it's a history of the past. Always try to find the positive aspects of current history, avoiding comparisons. Do not underestimate self - interest jealousy. If necessary, a course of psychotherapy can be of great help.
