Resources for journalists, podcasters, and media professionals covering retroactive jealousy, Relationship OCD, or relationship mental health.

About AtticusPoet.com

AtticusPoet.com is an independent educational publisher focused on retroactive jealousy, Relationship OCD (ROCD), and the application of ancient philosophy to modern relationship challenges. The site exists to fill the gap between expensive coaching programs and shallow blog posts that treat serious psychological topics without rigor.

Our content is read by people in the middle of genuine distress — partners grappling with intrusive thoughts about a loved one's past, individuals who cannot stop ruminating, and people who want to understand whether what they are experiencing is jealousy, OCD, or something else entirely. We take that responsibility seriously.

What We Cover

AtticusPoet.com publishes guides, tools, and resources across three interconnected areas:

  • Retroactive jealousy — intrusive thoughts about a partner's past relationships or sexual history. We cover the psychology behind it, how to distinguish it from legitimate relationship concerns, and evidence-informed strategies for recovery.
  • Relationship OCD (ROCD) — an OCD subtype characterized by obsessive doubts about a partner or relationship. We reference the Doron & Derby research program and IOCDF guidelines throughout.
  • Ancient philosophy for modern relationships — Stoic, Buddhist, and other philosophical frameworks applied to jealousy, attachment, impermanence, and emotional resilience.
