I'm just speaking the truth. Humans are very egocentric and, as a result, are prone to selfish/jealous tendencies. No one-- Regardless of who you are-- Is an exception to this rule. The problem with relationships involving more than two people is that it requires one person to accept the fact that they're going to receive less attention than another party member. While said situation might work in the short-run, it won't work indefinitely as simple human nature will kick in and cause the least favored party to feel as if they have to 'compete' with the other for attention. The best example I can give of this is simple sibling rivalry. Here you have one child who feels threatened by the other child, and as a result acts out in hopes of garnering the attention of his/her parents (Granted, this is a slightly simplified view). Such occurances have been observed to happen time and time again in nearly all human interactions and your situation is no different.
Human interaction is complex, but you're still prone to basic tendencies.
