Darioni<p>Reflecting on the challenges of open relationships, I notice they often boil down to two emotions: jealousy and possessiveness.</p><p>Jealousy prevents us from finding joy in others' experiences and is, at its core, an inability to value another person. It often stems from our own feelings of inadequacy.</p><p>Possessiveness is a feeling we understand with material things - but why would we want to possess another person? Isn't that concept inherently outdated?</p><p>Both emotions are human, but freeing ourselves from them can open the door to a genuinely appreciative relationship.</p><p><a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/NonMonogamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NonMonogamy</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/Poly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Poly</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/Polyamory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polyamory</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/Polyamorous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polyamorous</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/Openrelationships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Openrelationships</span></a> <a href="https://bark.lgbt/tags/OpenRelationship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenRelationship</span></a></p>
