I found "compersion" on Urban Dictionary and it's also mentioned on Wikipedia under polyamory. But it's not defined on Wikipedia. All the Google search results are for polyamory stuff, but it's not a word I've ever heard before either. Urban Dictionary calls it "A feeling of joy when a loved one invests in and takes pleasure from another romantic or sexual relationship."
Anita's supposed to feel this? ANITA? Yeah, that's bullshit. LKH obviously has read some stuff on polyamory and knows how Anita is supposed to feel if she's happy being polyamorous, but she has never written Anita actually feeling this way, and has instead written Anita as feeling the opposite constantly.
