View Full Version : Do you think it is possible..
Jordan 05-29-2008, 03:55 PM This is totally a hypothetical question, so don't go thinking I am asking this because it's about me. I was watching tv a minute ago and saw a commercial for "The Moment Of Truth", and one of the questions they asked during the commercial was "Were you in love with a past boyfriend on your wedding day". Well, eveidently she answered yes, and her marriage is in shambles because of it. So, here is my question:
Do you think it is possible to be truly in love with two people at one time? I'm not talking about love in the way you love your family or your friends. I'm not talking about lust. I'm talking about actual, I want to marry you and have your children, love. Or do you think that if you are that torn between who you love more of those two people that neither one is the right one for you?
Discuss.
Loretta 05-29-2008, 04:06 PM Honestly, I think anything is possible. I will leave it at that.
*Sarah* 05-29-2008, 04:07 PM Honestly, I think anything is possible. I will leave it at that.
:agree
mandyb 05-29-2008, 04:10 PM I dont know. For me I do not think I could possibly love 2 people the same as in I want to marry you, spend my life with you, have your children kind of love. There are people who claim to have that situation alot though. But I dont see how... JMO.

:yes

:agree If you are still that torn and in love with both people then you need to sort through your feeling and find which one is really your forever man. JMHO.
Miss B Hav'n 05-29-2008, 07:48 PM Honestly, yes - I believe it is entirely possible to love more than one person at the same time.
LittleMsSunshine 05-29-2008, 08:03 PM Ya know, I think that show is completely awful.... breaks my heart what people will do for money.
That being said, I think to an extent it's possible. Or maybe it's possible to confuse your emotions. I know that when I started dating DB, I wasn't entirely over my ex. I wouldn't say that I was in love with him still... but I definitely cared enough about him to still worry about him.
ily.mmw 05-29-2008, 08:11 PM um, i don't know, i've never been in that situation but everyone is different, so i agree with everyone else, anything is possible.
MIKOSWIFEY 05-29-2008, 08:15 PM I'm sure it is possible.
VinnysGirl 05-29-2008, 08:19 PM I think for anyone emotions don't fade that quickly. You can be head over heels in love with the one you are with and even when you see your ex or someone you've always had feelings for your heart will skip a beat.
I think another question would be how do you really decipher the difference between love and lust? Can you lust and love a person at the same time... but in different enough ways that it may seem you are only lusting them when in fact you are in love with them. The lines are too vague to completely rule out one or the other.
So yes.. you can love two people in a romantic way at the same time. I think the ability to know what is right or wrong though is where that can get gray. That's where the downfall of our society is today when it comes to romantic relationships.
Yes I do think it's possible.
Fidzy 05-29-2008, 08:58 PM I think its possible.
Me, too.
vaughn2005 05-29-2008, 08:59 PM it's possible anything is possible
Berkley 05-29-2008, 09:00 PM I think and don't shoot me. But I think that if you are truely IN LOVE with 2 diff people you should work that out before you walk down the aisle. I mean loving someone that you were once IN LOVE with is different then BEING in love with 2 people..kwim. I love all kinds of people but I am only IN LOVE with my husband.

I totally agree... just seeing the commercial and her husbands reaction to the question got me to thinking... I can't imagine how someone could ruin their marriage for money. Apparently, she didn't even win anything! :no Craziness.
armyfiancee 05-29-2008, 09:23 PM It has never happened to me, but you know, I think it is possible. I think you can have two people that you love and the more you need to choose the more you get confused and feel like you love them both equally, even if you maybe don't but you THINK you do.
Gee, am I making any sense? lol
Green~Mammy 05-29-2008, 09:29 PM It is an awful show my mom was telling me one wife finds out that her husband has cheated.
jellybeanqueen 05-29-2008, 09:43 PM yea i dont know.... i dont think its that possible. to love someone that much you have to GIVE alot of yourself. you know? how much can you give to two people? i think that they are both being cut short if you ask me.
Aunt Sponge 05-29-2008, 10:51 PM Nope...You can't love two people in that same way at the same time.
You can *think* you do - but you don't.
And if someone *thinks* they love twice over then they probably don't actually love either of those people in the truest sense of the word and feeling.
Larissa 05-29-2008, 10:55 PM Yes,I completely believe it's possible.
Breezy 05-30-2008, 10:14 AM I believe it's possible.
Cardellino'sGirl 05-30-2008, 10:24 AM I'm gonna go against the grain and say I don't think its possible.
I do think people get confused and mistake their feelings for something stronger. But I think the very definition of TRUE LOVE excludes the possibility of loving someone else in the same way. If people feel that they are in love with two people at once, I'd probably say that it is lust or "love" with at least one of those people.
I thought I loved my DB at the beginning of our relationship but 7 years later, love has become something completely different (in a good way :)). But thats just me!
little.lili 05-30-2008, 10:30 AM I think that it is possible for you to feel that 2 different people are the right person for you... and that things would have/could have happened with these two people...
But I don't think I would fall in love with 2 people at once. I mean, I guess anything is possible like you all said... But I don't think my heart is that big lol...
I don't think it is posible for me to feel what I feel for my hubby for anyone else, and even LESS possible for it to be at the same time.
ilovekale 05-30-2008, 10:34 AM i don't know about that. never been in that situation so i can't say...
jlbecker 05-30-2008, 10:38 AM i think it's possible to love 2 at the same time, but not for the same reasons. at that point, you should not be saying "i do" to either one. i have no problem with people who date 2 people at once (so long as both know it is not exclusive). i was actually dating dh and someone else at first. but i wasn't in love at that time so i guess i'm just going on a tangent. :carryon
MamaMia 05-30-2008, 04:07 PM Yes I think it is.
I love that show. Some of the questions are rigged too. Like have you ever watched gay porn? Well girl on girl is gay porn.
JudyB 05-30-2008, 04:17 PM It's all in how on percieves the question and how it also asked....
Yes, it is very possible to love more than one person at a time, we do it everyday. Love is more than just the emotion you share with your SO....there is love of a good friend, child, parent, pet...things like that.
That question on the show could have been taken in so many ways but society today would automatically think it's something more than what it really could be.
I still think the show is rigged anyhow...after the first episode there were reports and rumors that the one guy in the chair was actually a comedian on a Univision show.
mirph 05-30-2008, 06:15 PM I'm so mad that shows like this got renewed, but Jericho and Journeyman got canceled. HMPH!!!
Becca 05-30-2008, 06:17 PM Yes, I believe it is possible to be in love with two people at once. I can't really say I've ever had to deal with something like that, but sure I think it's entirely possible.
Saigon 05-30-2008, 06:19 PM Love is not something you can measure. Its an abstract. You can't put an amount of love on anything. I love so and so this much, but this guy this much. You can love anyone as much as you love them. Every relationship, every feeling is different. So yes, of course you can
