Jealousy and ways of dealing with it...

This is something I have been dealing with over the past couple of months, both mine and others.
One thing I have learnt from the meetups and from talking to others is that you can't just wish it away, or pretend you don't feel it or that somehow it is "wrong" to feel it. I came across this piece of writing when searching for poly and jealousy.
It really helped me define those feelings I was experiencing, and see it for what it was.

It is written by William Pennel Rock, and was initially published in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology, 1983.
