Loving 2 different people is a difficult position to be in because normally you can see the strength and weaknesses in both and realize that if you could combine the 2 people you'd have the "perfect" partner. When you love 3 people, and they love you back, inevitably someone is going to get hurt, which makes the situation harder still and ultimately you will have to let go of one and all of the good qualities you love about them. There is no easy answer for this question. Some might say, follow your heart and others, follow your head. I think you need to listen to your heart but ask your head if what your heart is saying makes sense. Sometimes the one we are most drawn to is the one who is wrong for us (depending on where you fall in the self love category). If you are used to abusive relationships and your heart is drawn to an abusive partner then your head will tell you to go with the other partner assuming they are not abusive but "good". We are a product of our environment and if we learn to expect less from our partner, to be treated badly, we will be drawn to what we know and the other will seem so foreign that it won't make ended but is often times the best choice.

If you are torn then create a pros and cons list of both individuals and compare. Make sure you have about 5 characteristics that you really want to have in someone and 3 things that you can not stand in someone and whomever comes closest with things you like and has less of things you don't, they should work the best for you.

Speaking as someone who is polyamorous, there is nothing wrong with being with both of them. However, if you are looking for a monogamous relationship, then you should take the time to figure out who you want in your life more. It's hard, but you should try to figure out which person is there for you more and makes your life better just by being around and caring for you.

It depends on your moral compass. Some people find it perfectly acceptable to keep two relationships separate from eachother. Others feel you need to be totally open with anyone you hope to keep a relationship with, and you need to come clean about it to both. Consider the feelings of those two lucky people as well, and make the best decision for all of you!

I used to feel the same in the past. In the reality it wasn't that I loved both of them. I asked myself "what made I began to go to another" and "what person I loved frist". It's important to ask such questions to yourself. Sometimes it turns out that we don't love anybody, just a stupid feeling it is through some time

As cliché as it sounds, follow your heart. Think about who is willing to sacrifice more for you, think about who is more worth your while. Also, think about how much you are willing to give in return. After all, relationships are all about giving and receiving equally.

If you gotta make a choice, choose the one that makes you feel alive, is your best friend and accepts you just the way you are.

You doesn't need to be hard on yourself for loving two different people.. But you might love one of them more than the other.. You have to identify it and stay anchored with him/her.. And you have to let go of other person..

Think and find the person you love the most or would rather share your life with. Or else, choose the second person you fell in love with. If you had loved the first person, you wouldn't have fallen for the second. - Johnny Depp

Focus on the qualities u really need to be in ur partner. So, u should separate from them both for a while and think with a very clear mind about life with each one and choose wisely.
