New to polyamory - how to avoid the jealousy pitfall?
Post Body

Hello, /r/polyamory.

A little less than a month a go, I started dating this girl who is polyamorous. We had talked for about two months or so before we officially started dating, and she made it very clear from the beginning that she was non monogamous.

Surprisingly, I'm okay with all of this. It's exciting and different, exactly what I've been looking for in a relationship. She is an absolutely amazing and supportive person. I couldn't have asked for anything else out of a new relationship, having not dated for a while.

However, there have definitely been a couple of times where I've gotten a little bit jealous of her other partners. I usually don't make it too big of a deal, but it's still something of concern.

My question to you all is this: did/do any of you feel something similar, and if so, how do you go about controlling this emotion?

On a different note, I'm very excited to be posting here and being a part of a new community.

Thank you!
