Love is an unlimited resource. Time isn't.
Time is really at the core of this issue. The negative feelings associated with poly relationships or "emotional cheating" or whathaveyou often are because of a withdrawl of things like time spent together, communication, or affections. I think there would less problems with jealousy if you can point to behavior and realize it hasn't changed simply because someone else has entered the picture. Like, a partner wouldn't be mad if the other started confiding in a new person. They would be mad the partner stopped confiding in them.

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." (M. Scott Peck)
