"I'm just a jealous person. I couldn't ever handle #polyamory because #jealousy is part of me."
Jealousy is not a feeling or a personality trait. It is an underlying symptom of another unmet need. Most people take it as its own thing and don't explore it further, and that's what causes it to be so powerful and toxic.
But if you find the root of it (e.g. a feeling of possession of your partner(s), a fear of abandonment, a desire to be a higher priority in someone's life…) and work on that part of yourself, you tend to find yourself a lot happier as a result.

It’s totally fine to be monogamous and treat eachother well. Anyway who tells you otherwise just wants the D and is likely a ho.Ardainian Hebrew Israelite likes this. -

He always acts like he's cool with it, but according to people who know him better, he gets weird when she's out. Particularly, he starts sending aggressive DMs and texts to friends, acts extra trolly on Facebook, etc. I really don't believe anyone who says they're OK with it. I bet I could always find a hard cope. -
