Most people in open relationships will get jealous and resentful

Every person I've ever met who participated in an "open relationship" became the target of profound jealousy, or became jealous themselves.

I think it sounds appealing; 🌈my partner and I love each other but our hearts are too big to only enjoy one person's company🌈 then their partner sleeps with someone else and they get all shitty and bitter.

My experience has always been "Are you sure your partner is ok with this?" --> "Yes definitely" --> The partner becomes a shitty rage machine. I had a guy corner me at dinner with my friends and yell in public because he was so jealous. He agreed to the open relationship. He was a hypocrite. All three of us suffered because he couldn't handle it. He should not have been in an open relationship.

That was the worst one but I think it applies to most people. It's a pipe dream that they don't have the emotional maturity to actualize.

I might pass afterall

Our teacher was impressed by my gambit and gave me full marks; I was so proud and relieved I almost cried in class. Now comes the hard part: I have to deliver on the promise I made in my paper by getting the "stuff" out of the septic tank. I wish I hadn't used the toilet now. I'll worry about that later

Anxious and afraid

Someone stole my backpack in a hospital or corporate office. I was told not to worry because it was on video, but I ran down the hall looking for it.

There's a tall guy with a beard, talking happily about a character in a book he likes. We're walking past the author's apartment and we shout up to her. Suddenly I'm afraid that someone will hear us.

My aunt doesn't apologize after hurting us

I think my aunt might have autism; she does not ever seem to understand why people are hurt or upset with her. She's developed an automatic response "I'm not apologizing because I don't know what I did wrong".

One example is airing my dirty laundry in public. She told the strangers around us that I throw away my alcohol containers instead of recycling them because I'm trying to hide the evidence in the trash. I was angry and told her it hurt. She acted confused and refused to apologize. There have been many of these cases.

I resent her because she has my relief in her hand and it costs her nothing but a bit of pride to give it to me. I'm doing 4th step inventory every day because I constantly feel hurt by her.

Thanks for listening
