My partner and I have been together for ten years. We were both actively 
poly before we met. We closed our relationship for a time at the 
beginning, to deal with blending our families. Then we re-opened things 
and were involved with other people.

We haven't been involved with anyone else since then end of 2005, 
largely due to logistics. The possibility is still there, but we don't 
have as much energy as we did when we were younger.

I got a little lost here. Why would there be a worry about jealousy if 
you're in a monogamous relationship?

Namaste,
