Polyamorous Moment
My jealousy was based in insecurity. So the more secure I became in myself and in my relationship, the less jealous I was.
If I have a need, I communicate it.
If I need reassurance (and it's reasonable) I ask for it.
I also focus on reconnection (and also allow space for a disconnect)
But I also don't need to know all the details. I'm glad he's able to make connections. But I don't gotta know everything. I'm not the person he can talk to about his experiences. So I know when he's going on dates and her name once she's consistent. Then making sure my sexual health is protected. But that's about it.
Jealousy is a valid emotion tho. Just have to understand it and give space for it.
Polyamorous people GROW through our jealousy.
