I found this a little late but I wish I found this last summer before the whole being swept away by intellectualizing polyamory and open relationships, thinking I was logical enough to appreciate my partner admiring and enjoying another person over being jealous before allowing my partner to hook up with someone who insidiously swept in on our relationship. I thought being open was superior and I was so excited but when the night came and he was gone with her and I was alone, I was sobbing out of jealousy. It made our relationship take a turn for the worse. We recovered and fell and recovered and fell multiple times now that we tried it where as before when we had total commitment those problems didn’t happen. I wish I could turn back time.

Last time I checked, jealousy was one of the four major food groups. Great post.
