Polyam Chat - Jealousy

For this month’s Polyam Chat, we’re unpacking jealousy. There’s a strong misconception that once you become non-monogamous, you transcend jealousy. No matter if you have one partner or four, jealousy is a natural feeling that can sneak up on you, and it always deserves a little attention. This one is a polyamorous hot topic and we're ready to dive right in. What makes you jealous? How do you create space for your partner's feelings without taking on the burden of guilt? What do you do while they're out on a date? Is compersion a myth?

We welcome you to share this intentional space where we can have an open convo unpacking what thoughts and emotions we hide behind "jealousy", how they can help us draw better boundaries, and what we've learned about communicating through the discomfort.

The experiences and voices of Black queer folks are always centered in this space because that’s who we represent, but also because Black ppl are silenced and marginalized too often in dialogues like these where we explore our joy and freedom.
