Polyamory is definitely not for everyone, and I blame religious brainwashing beginning in early childhood, and Disney indoctrination teaching us about "the one." Of course most people trained thus will be ill-equipped to be other.
We're taught to view relationships with the eyes of ownership, suspicious of outliers. From my perspective, it's a damn shame. The divorce rate would likely go down dramatically if people would learn to open their minds and hearts to the possibilities.

I only know my personal experience with it. Out of several women who claimed they were poly, only one didn't get jealous.
Including current relationships.

I don't fault that stuff. Insecurity and jealousy are pretty innate human emotions.

Not as much as you think. Much of that is learned behavior.
