Is it possible...to love more than one person ar a time?

I'm, usually known for my cut to the quick, sharp tongue, no bullshit opinions. I usually have an answer for anything, after all, if you advise someone the to do what's right, you can't go wrong. But I got buffaloed the other day. I was talking with a girl where I work and she was telling me about her dating two guys. Both guys know about each other (Thanks to my advice to her) everything is on the up and up. She said she had to make a choice between them but couldn't decide. She posed this question to me. "Is it possible to be in love with more than one person at the same time."

My initial reaction was to think "Hell no", after all, if you love someone truly, there can't be love for someone else. It's not possible.

Then it hit me that as a parent, I love all six of my children equally... So it is possible.

I can see both sides of the coin. I told her I'd think about it, and get back to her. I have no clue as to how I'm going to answer her. So Yahoo... I put it to you. Is it possible?

    Why does it always seem to be "talking with a girl where I work "? Your having these very personal conversations with a young girl, and I have to wonder how fast your heart beats when she is around. In fact you say "I'm, usually known for my cut to the quick, sharp tongue, no bullshit opinions" but I bet at least 75% of the people you advise are younger WOMEN.

    What does this tell me? It tells me that deep inside you crave that attention with the younger women. I bet you even fantasize ever so briefly about the possibility of an affair. Your probably a decent enough guy that nothing will ever come of it. You still need to think long and hard about what your core motivations are though. Can anything good come from these core motivations?

    You like no bullshit opinions? Be ready to hear one.

    *puts on serious hat*

    Yes, of course its possible. Like you said, you love all six of your kids. The thing is, when it comes to relationships we just arent made for the whole multi lover thing. One or the other of the men will not be happy, and/or feel neglected or left out. Obviously, youve done a great job helping her understand this as she knows she has to make a decision.

    Now to address more than the question. SHE is in a relationship with two people because she is thinking about her needs. What does SHE want and what will make HER feel good. At the same time, she is jerking both of these guys around, on the up and up or not. I dont think she is ready for a serious relationship. Of course you cant tell her that so bluntly. Although you have certainly been blunt with me ;-). I would suggest something along the lines of " Yes you can love more than one person, but you know you are going to end up hurting them both if you try. That just isnt something you should do if you love them both. Which one meets your needs the best?" Etc etc.

    *serious hat off*

    no I don't think that you can safely say to be in love with more than one person at the same time."

    your initial reaction was to think "hell no", after all, if you love someone truly, tthere can't be love for someone else. it's not possible.

    then it hit me that as a parent, i love all six of your children equally... so it is possible.

    i can see both sides of the coin. i told her i'd think about it, and get back to her. i have no clue as to how i'm going to answer her. so yahoo... i put it to you. is it possible that easily is possible

    I believe we love people for different reasons. However we always end up loving someone more than the other. Therefore my answer to the question your friend proposed is No, i do not believe you can love two people at the same time in the same way.

    My answer might be influenced by my emotions and feelings as i would hate to find out if my husband or boyfriend or partner were to ever turn around to me and say i love you but i love someone else as well.

    Hate is easier to give out than Love, which is why I think I dish out alot of hate. But its because Love involves trust and you cant trust everyone, that would only lead you to getting hurt. Besides that, I had been bullied my whole life so I am a bit quick to put up defences when I meet people. but there are a few people who manage to get pass my defences, and to them, I give Love.

    Depends if the person is nice then love and if they're horrible then dislike. Hate is too strong a word.

    i think it is possible to love more than one person but some one will always love another person more then the other.
