The Coexistence of Jealousy and Compersion in Non-Monogamy
Chapter 6 - Composting Competition and Moving Toward Compersion: A Non-Monogamy Book Club Video Series
'Is compersion the opposite of jealousy?' is a common question in non-monogamous communities. This lively and heartfelt discussion explores the coexistence of these seemingly contradictory emotions and offers insights into navigating the complex feelings often experienced in consensual non-monogamous (CNM) relationships.
In this book club video series, non-monogamous relationship coaches and metamours Aria Diana and Salina Mae explore chapter 6, “Coexistence of Jealousy and Compersion” of Marie Thouin's book, "What is Compersion?"
We discuss:
“comperstruggle” - instances “where a person feels pulled between jealousy and compersion” in polyamorous dynamics
how we manage and work with conflicting feelings surrounding consensual non-monogamy
monogamous cultural conditioning around “feeling rules”
compersion and jealousy as socially constructed experiences
how stories around relationship expectations influence our jealousy
