Is it possible... (20)
soulmateTWS: Do you believe it's possible to actually love two different people...I'm not referring to lust or infatuation, but actual love...Very strong, deep, and in depth feelings that has lasted several years...torn between both...
Personally, up until recently, I'm not sure if I could have said "yes"...but after certain recent events...I think it can happen...((JMO)), but what a conundrum...how does one resolve something like this...

yes...I believe it is very possible. Love isn't meted out in portions. Love know no directions. In carpentry we use waht is called a water level. Water will always find it's own level...and so will love
Stop...JMO

Of course it's possible. It's another way to mess up your life too.

Someone wrote last year in here that each love is its own and hence does not stop you from loving twice.
I think that was in regards to "ever love again" but if that is possible, what say you can not do it at the same time?

Of course we can love more than one person at once - we all do that every day of our lives! The argument, however, is that romantic love is sui generis - that is, completely unique - and therefore not susceptible to such division.
I don't think it's *practically* divisible. Romantic love simply consumes too much energy and time. However, many people have had multiple loves in their lives, and claim to love them all, though in different ways. We've all read about men or women who've maintained spouses with families in different locations, but very few of us would be psychologically capable of doing that.

If you doubt that's possible, try the following thought-experiment: you're deeply in love with your present spouse, he or she takes a trip and is reported killed in a plane crash. A couple of years pass, and you meet a very special someone, and fall deeply in love. You are together for a few years - when suddenly your previous spouse returns!
Now you're deeply in love with two people, no?

Sure you can love more than one person at a time, I don't feel it's right, to have a relationship with more then one at a time though...JMO

Yes, and you forget he was also in love with Wilson. Personally, I think Wilson used him and was in love with Spaulding!

Morning, Joanne.
But what do you think of the "return from death" thought-experiment? What if something - Zeus forbid - happened to Eric, and you believe he was dead? Then, a few years down the line, you meet someone else and fell deeply in love (possible, no?).
THEN - Eric returns!
You now love two people romantically and deeply, am I right?

It's just a situation that's came up recently, and I thought I would throw it out here to see others opinions...
