Do you think it's possible to be in love with 2 people at once?

Question

Or is it a case of wanting one's cake and eating it?

Have any of you been in such a situation, and if so, how did you handle it?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I completely think it's possible.  And when it's a polyamorous relationship, with all parties having full knowledge and consent, as well as all parties putting in the work needed to maintain such a relationship, it's all the more rewarding.

Answer 2

yes i do. its never happened to me but im 19 and dont have that much love experience. i think alot of what were taught is right as far as relationships go is not true. and look at mormons, that works doesn't it? people  have three way relationships sometimes dont they? its very uncommon though and alot of ppl will think its sick, but aslong as no-one is getting hurt its fine. thats probably not an option for you though. its a tough one, you have to be sure that your really do love them before you know what to do, maybe its just lust and the fact that you cant have them?

Answer 3

I guess it's possible, but it really breaks the boundaries for traditional love doesn't it?

Answer 4

Yes, kinda, see neither one is enough for you, and it takes the combination of them both to be the sum of the one man you desire. Neither will work out in the end, but sometimes the second man gives us only the one trait we feel we are hungry for. But we don't see all the things the first man has fufilled untill they are gone and its too late. What kind of man takes another man's woman, not an honorable man. Just a snake. Try to remember whatever you go into a relationship with is what you go out of it with. In other words if you see one another when you already have someone, then they will never be able to trust you. They will think you are a **** and may even end up cheating on you with someone else or accusing you of it.

Answer 5

Depends-

If you are committed to one woman and want another yet can't leave the first then I do think that love is a question of wanting one's cake and eating it.

But  it is possible to be in love with 2 people and have trouble choosing

which one to commit to.

Answer 6

Spend some time apart from both of them. Which one will you miss the most? Add up the pro's and con's from each of them and whichever one enhances the quality of your life the most is the one. Take your time and be fair to yourself. I do think it's possible to love two people at once, and that's perfectly alright to love two people. But you can only be committed to one in love. Jesus loved the whole world....

Answer 7

I can't speak for others but it would be impossible for me.  If you are truly in love it doesn't make sense that you'd be even thinking about another person to be your partner.

Answer 8

well if you think about it ,it is very possible but you can't have both can you....i suggest you take a piece of paper write down the names of each person then write what you like about them the most whoever get the most means you have stronger feelings for , but if its a tied then you might want to get to know them very well

Answer 9

Yeah same with me.  All i do is think of who would go and last longer with me then you try that person but with the other girl or guy you like you become a really good friend with them.
