Multiple Love?

[glamorilla]

I've only been in love once.

 

[Summery]

I have only had true love once. Now, I just love everyone....
*On many different levels of course*

 

[Xander]

I ahve been in love 3 times, like truely in love.

 

[pipercatt]

Yes, I beleive that it's possible to love more than one person. I know lots of people that have chosen to live an open polyamorous lifestyle. And I've lived it myself briefly. It didn't work out, but that doesn't mean I think it can't, ever.

I love you too

 

[Summery]

I love you too

This is exactly what I mean.

 

[Mellon Collie]

Yes, it's very similar to how you can love more than just one family member.

 

[Guest]

This is exactly what I mean.

I lust you as well...

Did you think of me last night in bed Summery?

 

[callableborg]

more than one

I believe that you can love more than one person at a time only because it is happening to me right now. As per BigDawg69's excellent entry each has its own uniqua drama and magnetism but is love nonetheless.

Problem. Situation in the mind is so complex re. levels, possibilities etc. that I am immobilized. 'Oh well, this wasn't really my idea' doesn't cut it as a strategy but it is all I seem to come up with. Shrugs.

Ummmm....

You are incorrigible!

I am going to get in trouble for hijacking my friends thread now.

Tonight I ran into an old friend from High School while I was shopping. We caught up, blah blah... then she told me that she is in love with three different people.

Got me thinking, can you truly love more than one person simulatniously? Not talking about lust or variations of love, I mean romantic love and multiple recipients.

What do you think?

oh yes, it's possible...in fact in my opinion it happens more often than not....but like someone else said, you always end up choosing in the end, because not everyone feels that way.

I'll take that as a "no".

 

[bad kitty]

I'll take that as a "no".

I did storm!

Yeah I think it is possible to love more than one person. I have been deeply in love with 2 people in my life, not including my kids. There are several different levels of love. Love is something that always changes and grows, and for each person it is different. You can be in love with another man and still love your husband, and if you are really lucky, you can freely love them both. I am glad to be that lucky, and I feel for those who aren't.

 

[Hamletmaschine]

Yes, it is possible. I love my mommy. I love my kitty. I love Jesus. I love the flowers and the trees. I love the poor people. I love. . . .

 

[celiaKitten]

Yes, it is possible. I love my mommy. I love my kitty. I love Jesus. I love the flowers and the trees. I love the poor people. I love. . . .

lol ... thank you Mr. Sarcasm! Not what I meant!

 

[tigerjen]

I know its possible to love more than one person........
because there are different kinds of love.......love of
family, friends, lovers, etc. etc. etc.

So spread the love!!!

I voted Yes.

I think you can be in love with people in different ways. Each love for its own reasons and in its own way.

Recognizing the differences and expectations out of each relationship is key to keeping any bitter out of the sweetness that can be enjoyed by a heart full of love.

 

[brokenbrainwave]

I suppose you can, but I prefer to love one at a time...that way they dont get jealous

but seriously I honestly feel, and I will probably get flamed for this, there is only one true love in ones life. have seen many cases that seemingly prove my theory correct, and I am lucky to have found mine

 

[intrigued]

I suppose it is possible for many people if they let themselves - the problems then would be the ramifications. I believe that the inevitable jealousies and the probable inequalities would cause a lot of problems, therefore it probably wouldn't last very long before falling apart in a mess.

Surely some small number of people could do it and get away with it, but most people have problems loving one person properly, much less more than one.

I like the way you think. A true, commited love takes work and effort and desire to grow, one cannot give that to more than one at a time, nor should they even have the desire or need to.


celiakitten, I think maybe your friend is in love with the
idea of love.

We can be intensely attracted to many, Lit is evidence of that, and we can be infatuted with many....but "in love" with more than one? No, not me.

 

[Fly_On_Wall]

love more then ome person equily yes
the same? no

 

[SkyBluAngelEyes]

I don't know. I don't think I could be in love with more than one person at a time. I might love a plethora of guys, but to be "in love" with more is probably not possible, for me anyway.

I'm sure it is possible, but we're all built different...

Does it happen more in one gender than the other?

 

[OldestMotive]

I think it is possible to romantically love more than one person. Maintaining relationships is another question. Relationships take work and most of us don't have the energy required to maintain more than one, and I think this may be the real question.

Our capacity for love may well be unlimited...I don't know. In my opinion, our capacity or willingness to invest ourselves in a relationship, is definitely limited.
