I can love many in a caring sort of way.....but NOT romantically. It's not right & it's not fair to those involved let alone your own emotional well being.

People aren't a pair of shoes that you just can decide to buy both because you can't decide which you like best. It's ok if you are leaving it at the friendship level, but if you are wanting to take it to the emotional "love" level, then you need to take the responsibility to analyze each relationship & each person & how they relate to you & be a strong enough person to make the decision & stick with it not second guessing yourself.

If you really can't decide which person is more right for you, then don't take it to the emotional loving level until you are able to determine what your feelings really are. There are definitely MORAL values that you need to consider & make sure they are a part of your relationship life....it will save you & others from a lots of grief & pain.

There are plenty of people in poly-relationships.

I think its possible to love more than one person and to have more than one partner. You have to be a special type of person who doesn't get jealous easily.

It all depends on the person really. I know I couldn't stand thinking about my boyfriend with another but we've built our relationship on the premises of monogamy. If you're looking for a poly relationship, you have to make sure all partners involved are okay with it and you don't create distrust. Just like a relationship with one person.

Yes, of course it is possible to love more than one person at a time. Romantically, even. It isn't a matter of morals or ethics, either.

Of course you can love more than one person at a time. Even romantically. I don't believe there is anything immoral about love - period. That's just non-sense. Love is precious not matter what. Being honest about it is where the morals are at. Of course most ppl don't want to share their lover. That's probably just biology at work - ya know something about fighting to get your genes out there first, yada, yada. Society also makes us feel shame or guilt and shakes it's annoying, crooked finger at loving more than one but who the hell cares about that lol (you maybe? idk). Another form of control for the masses.

lol... here's funny thing... a supposed quote:

"If you love two people at the same time, choose the second one, because if you really loved the first one you wouldn't have fallen for the second" - Johnny Depp It would appear that Mr. Depp does not believe in loving more than one at once and that he also views love as a mathematical logic problem in figuring out which one to eliminate from your equation. Ultimately how you want to live and LOVE is up to you - just be honest about it and you'll be happy.
Thanks for this!
