Poly stories - Jealousy talks
When did you experience jealousy for the last time? Jealousy. We’ve all felt it, whether as children with no access to the right crayon, watching our lover sliding across the room after batted eyelashes, or deep into our polyamourous seniority, when we were least expecting it.
In the ENM community, where freedom, compersion and sharing are front and center, we might hide from our jealousy because it makes us question our legitimacy as a poly person. Doesn’t that erase the conversation?
Let’s stop jealousy shaming and dive within. Jealousy shakes you to the core and wakes you up to the things you’ll want to work through, or desire to ask from another. It can be beautiful, or hurtful, depending on what you do with it. Like every feeling, it is valid.
What is the line between claiming responsibility for our feelings, and finding a way all partners can feel free and safe at the same time?
Poly Stories invites you in the exploration of the wondrous world of non-monogamy through personal storytelling—together navigating the edges and unpacking (moral) dilemmas.
