When Sara Kragness’s partner Kadence Porter started dating a new person, they weren’t breaking any rules. The couple, who live in Northampton, Massachusetts, had agreed to try polyamory – they were both free to pursue sexual, intimate relationships with other people. But when Kragness struggled to make an extracurricular connection of her own, she began to feel jealous of Porter’s budding relationship.
“I’d get snappy or grumpy right before they went on a date,” Kragness said. “I would pick a fight, get isolated or cold. None of that is healthy or positive.”
