Jealousy Doesn’t Make You Less Polyamorous

Some people think being jealous makes you "less polyamorous”.

Jealousy is an emotion that most (if not all) people experience. It’s just about what you want to do with the emotion that distinguishes monogamous from non-monogamous people.

Your jealousy is useful. It tells you things about yourself and your relationships, and can guide you to address internal and/or external issues.

Also - not every instance of jealousy is an internal problem you need to work on or an insecurity to “get over”. More often than not, jealousy is a warning sign of an unmet need in a relationship, and your fear of loss can sometimes be very much rooted in reality.
