These confessions are all about jealousy, or lack thereof jealousy, in polyamorous love situations. These stories go to show that there is no wrong way to live or to love.

Funny how that works.

I'm poly. I've been with my bf for years and I get jealous when my gf hangs out 1 on 1 with him which is dumb. I'm asexual so I shouldn't care. That's why I said to go poly so he can have "that".

Might not be the lifestyle choice for you.
