Open relationships, breeding ground for jealousy?

No one ever said open relationships were easy.

This is a pretty good post. I'd have to say though that it's not just reserved for open relationships. It can also stand in closed ones and the fear that a lover may find someone else more appealing.

*nods* I completely agree, and in some cases that fear is warranted. From what I've experienced if a person was in a prior relationship that didn't end so well (usually someone cheated), they have a hard time letting go of that fear...and its not surprising why. No one likes to get hurt.

Croc and I were recently talking about polyamory, and some similar points ring true. He linked to an interesting article that also mentions jealousy at the heart of problems in polyamorous relationships.

Mind if I share your post with Croc?

Thats a rather good article, still need to read through the rest.
Sure, your more than welcome to share it with him ^^

*points you and Ciz at polyamory and poly_furries*

Yes, I'm members of both communities. Yes, I identify as polyamorous.
