Love is a beautiful thing. There's nothing wrong with loving anyone. The more the merrier! Being loving towards people are more welcoming than not. Being in love with two people at once can be a good thing or a complex depending on how you view the situation. Sometimes people have open relationships where they are with their main lover but accepting of another one or two individuals. It makes for a larger love group if theres a mutual understanding among everyone involved. It may be looked at as a healthier way of having a relationship without having to hide or sneak behind a partner's back, or lying. It may also be viewed as having a love -support system if that makes sense. This isn't an opinion or advice. Perspective is everything and only you can answer your own question properly once you've thought everything out thoroughly keeping everyones feelings into consideration.

Well there goes famous saying" If you ever fall in love with two people than choose the second one. Because you wouldn't have fallen in love with them if you loved the first one" So I guess it must have answered your question. I believe that you can't love two people (romantically) equally. There will always be slight difference in how much you love them. Maybe you are unable to take decision because you are scared of losing other person. And I understand it perfectly but sometimes you have to make choice. You can tell other person that you don't want to loose them. Many people are understanding and remain as friends. I hope that I have answered your question. Take care dear. Ana❤

There is nothing wrong with having love for two people. It is how you express that love that becomes an issue, especially if you've promised yourself to one. Keeping one's promises, one's priorities, and being loyal are important, but these things do not have to be mutually exclusive to love. In honesty, there are only a few differences between the loving relationships and promised-loving relationships: 1) physical propriety, 2) respectful emotional sharing boundaries, 3) respectful recognition and allowance of receipt of love and affection from others. It is hard to know that you love another person, perhaps even moreso than the one to whom you are pair-bonded, but it just as important to show that person that you are loyal, respectful, and honorable of your commitments.

A very wise person once said that if you love two people at the same time. Choose the second person cause if you loved the first person, you wouldn't have fallen for the second person. I personally don't know if that's true but what I'd do would be to figure out my feelings by talking to both of them. Maybe by talking it out with them. I can figure out who I want to be with. Or just make a pros and cons list and whoever has more pros should be your choice. Hopefully you understand this and it helps

You man up and pick one. It's unacceptable to allow a relationship to continue when your head is turned in another direction. If something is missing in a current relationship figure out "the why" and go from there... One of our evolutionary traits and abilities as humans is our ability to use critical thinking and higher reasoning, which helps us not to act impulsively "Me centric" behaviors damage reputations, break down trust, often require us to lie and almost always hurt us in the long run. If unsure of what to do a therapist might be helpful, just remember ending a primary relationship is not always the right decision.

Being polyamorous is totally normal and many people feel this way and the capability to love multiple people at once. I suppose the most complicated part of this is deciding what to do with the relationship part of this. That comes with discussion, and the personal preferences of the people you love. If you are currently in a relationship with one of those people but not the other, you would need to be open and honest and let them know how you truly feel and perhaps have the option of an open relationship or something like that. I personally have no experience with this but I know it is totally normal and I imagine communication is one of the most important things you can incorperate in your decision here.

We are capable of loving many people at the same time, but it is good to remember that there are different types of love, and re-evaluating the situation might help you get a clearer perspective on who you love and how you love them. It might be good to take a step back and look at the bigger picture, perhaps focus on yourself for a little bit and understand what needs you have and how best to fulfill those needs. Then you can pursue what is best for you in a way that is both healthy and fulfilling to your needs!

Love isn't something anyone should be ashamed of. Loving two people at once isn't really the problem. The problem comes with the expectations these people have for us. If we can be clear about were we stand, be honest and considerate about they're possible distress everything will work out on its own in the end. On the other hand, if we're not sure what our own expectations are from the love we feel about each person, it's better to take some time for ourselves and find out what we want. Feelings are human. We are human. The problems start with our reactions to our feelings. So, let's feel gratitude about the love and these two people coming to our lives and see how we can honor that luck by giving them the respect they deserve.

Love is a complicated thing, and there are different kinds of love. Because there are different contexts for love, many people love multiple people at the same time, and it doesn't often present issues, because different contexts means there are different expectations of the people in the relationship. What is meant by "different contexts" of love? Well, loving someone in a familial way is different (and comes with different responsibilities and expectations) than loving someone in a friendly way, a romantic way, a sexual way, or a philosophical or spiritual way. How you love your mom is not the same as how you would love your spouse, and so forth. If you love 2 people at once, ask yourself whether you love them in a similar way, or in the same context. If you love them both in the same context, consider what is expected of you and them in those contexts. If it is a romantic or sexual love, is monogamy expected? If so, you may have to choose between them. If you and they are not looking for monogamy, then you may be able to have romantic or sexual relationships with both, if honesty and communication are employed. However, polyamory and polyfidelity as relationship styles require a lot of willingness, communication, and practice to work, and all parties will need to be on the same page in order to proceed in that manner.

No one says you have to choose, you can love both ;). However, what is important is that there's communication. And if you have to choose, remember that you need to learn how to let go of the other person. Letting go of someone you love is hard, but so important for your mental health. You have so much love to give, but don't sacrifice your mental health for it. And make sure the person/people who love you also love you back, otherwise you will get hurt. Lastly, its important to love yourself but its okay if you are still learning to do that when loving others.
