Retroactive jealousy: how can I erase these mental images?

A male age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My girlfriend and I were good friends prior to dating each other. During that time, she divulged some information to me about her sexual past that I REALLY wish she had never told me. She didn't think anything of it at the time because we were just friends, but now that we are dating I simply can't get those mental images out of my head. They pop up at the most random times, and I'll literally go days at a time where it's all I can think about. It doesn't help that we're in a long distance relationship and its easy for a man's mind to wonder when I don't get to see her more than maybe once a month. I love her very much, trust her 100%, and I know I can't change what she's told me...but I still can't seem to get those mental images of her with other men out of my head. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
