Recently, I've been grappling with some tough emotions about my partner's partner. It's this mix of not liking him just because he's with my partner, and their Intimacy together; jealousy is taking a toll on me. I've found myself harboring a lot of unwarranted animosity, which I know shouldn't be there. The thing is, he hasn't actually done anything to hurt me; it's just the green-eyed monster making an appearance.

Now, the silver lining – I'm in therapy, actively working on myself to better my relationship with my partner. And work on myself. I want it to thrive, you know? I want to be the best version of myself for my partners.

But I'm curious: did anyone else go through something like this with their meta? If so, did you manage to work through it? How did you navigate those tricky emotions? Or did you even find a reason to have a relationship with your meta?

My partner would like to have a Kitchen Table Polyamory (KPT) lifestyle, but honestly, right now, I can't even hear the meta's name without feeling a surge of anger. I don't want things to stay like this. Any advice on how to turn the page and build a more positive dynamic would be incredibly welcome.
