Jealousy in Seeking Sister Wife and Real Life- how the TLC teaches us about relationships: polygamy and monogamy
They want to overcome their jealousy and possessiveness for religious reasons. In a way this makes sense because it's a higher calling and purpose driving them. However, Ashley and Dimitri are choosing polygamy as a lifestyle. They say this arrangement is the best type of relationship they can have as a family. They talk about wanting to have a larger family and the bond that exists between sister wives. They talk about basically wanting a tribe in this dynamic. Clearly, jealousy is going to rear its ugly head

Wow. This is so interesting. I have not seen this show, so it was cool to learn about it through your experience of it in perspective. And I really connected with what you were saying about jealousy. There's a relationship coach whose podcast I really like, and she frames jealousy as information we can receive about our desires and what our future holds

Thanks Bowie, about your feedback. I really like what you're saying about jealousy being information. It kind of puts more succinctly what I was trying to say and I hope that you maybe take a look at this show. It's really interesting, not just in terms of jealousy, but all kinds of relationship dynamics. Thanks for your feedback
