One of the more common and frightening feelings associated with starting a lifestyle journey is jealousy. Society often encourages jealousy in relationships.

Life is too short to spend feeling jealous; we feel that our time is better spent loving and supporting each other as we travel together on an honest and open path.

While we have been taught that this emotional attachment is confined only to our spouse, most of us can also attest to feeling emotional attachments toward people other than our partner at one time or another. How is this possible, especially as it appears to counter what most of us have been taught about depositing only feelings for our partner into our emotional savings account, so to speak.
