Black Mirror: Entire History of You

Entire History of You involves a chip implanted that records all actions during the day.  People can rewind encounters to look for things they might have missed the first time and to confirm/deny memories.

Main character has a lousy job interview. . . goes to party where he sees his wife talking easily with another man . . . jealousy . . . correct . . . wife has had an affair with the man . . . MC, drunk, goes to the man's house and nearly kills him.  He demands the man erase all recordings of his wife.  Man does.  MC returns home . . . still green monster . . . confronts wife . . .

The chip is ruining his life.  He takes a razor and cuts it out of his neck.  Too late? Hard to tell
