Polyamorous Dating: 5 Tips for Dealing with Jealousy (and how to avoid it in the first place!)
I recently discovered this gem on my favorite feminism website, Everyday Feminism. The original article gave five tips on how to deal with jealously while in a polyamorous relationship.
As I was reading it, I found it to be somewhat lacking in a more preemptive solution. For example, anyone can give advice on how to cope with the side effects of cocaine use, but I want to know how to avoid using cocaine in the first place.
So, being the continuous problem solver and giver of unsolicited advice* that I am, I have compiled five tips on how to avoid becoming jealous while engaging in romantic endeavors with multiple people simultaneously with the informed consent of everyone involved.
- Don’t date polyamorously.
- Don’t date polyamorously.
- Don’t date polyamorously.
- Don’t date polyamorously.
- Don’t date polyamorously.
Bonus tip: Don’t date polyamorously.
That’s right, it really is that simple. The most surefire guaranteed way to avoid jealousy in a polyamorous relationship is to not be in one in the first place.
