Hi,
I'm new to the forums and arrived here due to crashing and burning my first polyamory experience. It crashed and burned due to my jealousy and I have struggled to understand this complex emotion since. I found an enlightening article which is a dense read, but thought I'd summarise its salient features with a few of my own added thoughts. The first reply below deals with jealousy in a monogamous framework and the second reply deals with jealousy in a polyamorous framework.
Given I have only experienced jealousy once, I would be grateful for feedback from people who deal with this more often. My summary below is not based on any facts, but was written so that I could come to understand myself better. What I'm trying to say is, that this viewpoint may not be the right viewpoint or your viewpoint, it's merely one which I feel helps me understand myself better.
Thank you for letting me share, and thank you in advance for your comments.
