It is human nature to be jealous but believe it or not this is not the biggest obstacle in polyamorous relationships. Monogamy is unnatural, it is humanly impossible for a person to be attracted to one person for the rest of their lives no matter how much they love them. Monogamy is a choice, not nature.

Being attracted to someone else doesn’t mean you love your partner any less. Being attracted to someone else doesn’t mean you’re attracted to your partner any less. It just means that you’re able to be attracted to others, you’re not completely oblivious to all the things that spark your attraction to someone. But then you choose to not act on that attraction, respect your commitment and your own time and space with your partner that you decide to not act on your attraction.
Therefore, that means you have chosen monogamy, making monogamy a choice. Understanding this can be the basis of a happy and jealous free polyamorous relationship. Understanding that your partner’s attraction to someone else or rather multiple people does not take away from how much they’re attracted to you and love you will prevent jealousy at all turns.
