If polyamory<\/a> seems hard, that’s because it is. Polyamorous couples often have partners in other polyamorous relationships, and those partners have other relationships, and so on. So how do polyamorous couples juggle their time, deal with the inevitable jealousy, and all the other difficult factors that go into dating multiple people? Here’s how to do polyamory, successfully, according to those who know:<\/p>\n

\"feet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. There’s no such thing as TMI<\/b>
    \nIt’s all about communication. Being transparent is the best way to defuse the jealousy: checking in, tell-alls, daily texts. This is the key to avoiding envy.<\/li>\n
  2. Be a planner<\/b>
    \nAccording to one long-term polyamorous couple, Google calendar is a godsend. Since there’s so many people involved, this is an indispensable tool where everyone can log and view plans, dates, and vacations up to a year in advance. \u201cTime is the most valuable resource within a poly relationship.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Accept your jealousy and grow from it\u00a0<\/b>
    \n\u201cThere\u2019s a growth opportunity in being able to see your partner in love with someone else.\u201d Instead of letting the jealousy overwhelm you, think of it as an opportunity for growth.<\/li>\n
  4. Get to know your lovers’ lovers<\/b>
    \nThis is also key for managing jealousy. \u201cThe tendency is to build things up in your head. \u2018I haven\u2019t met you, so you must be way cuter, younger, smarter, sexier.\u2019 It helps alleviate a lot of concerns if you get face to face.\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Never force it<\/b>
    \nStarting a monogamous relationship with someone you hope will be into polyamory later on is a recipe for disaster.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Looking for a \u201cgrowth opportunity\u201d yourself? We can help you\u00a0grow<\/i>\u00a0in ways you never thought possible<\/a>!<\/p>\n
