generally very against the idea of pushing a magical button to change any of my emotions, i assume they're all there for reasons even if i don't know what they are

I’m in this camp too- it’d be nice but probably not healthy. Instead examining why the feeling of jealousy is present would be more productive, to me. And who knows, maybe necessary?

Just because they are all there for a reason doesn't mean it is a good reason. 😛 What if it is a bad reason that is maladaptive to present non-evolutionary conditions?

i disagree (tho possibly typ mind).

@yashkaf

wrote of only recently shorting out his jealousy. even then, a dadt policy or some kind of eroticized competition or compensation can help offset residual neg emotions but this raises an interesting point as to whether poly is or does
