Let me ask you this, out of curiosity.
Given that you've fallen in love at least twice already, what would have happened if both women came into your life at the same time?
I know it's hypothetical... but do you see the possibility that you'd fall for both (not exactly equally but to varying degrees?)
Or you perceive falling in love as an absolute--an on-off kinda situation.

First and last time Diana shares her man--I promise handshake

Is this Lori talking... or Diana? grin

Thank you Aziz for your unique perspective. hug

Polyamory

Yes ma'am.
Thanks for helping me steer this thread away from danger uh oh

About parallel relationships: It's much trickier and all parties involved need to be ready for it. Small chance it will happen, but anyway, the possibility is there.

That's all I had to say...feel free to contribute kiss

Don't tell her but I think I like you a little bit more laugh

Plus (to use your analogy) you may normally like to read your books cover to cover, but for those two books that complement each other (say, the Bible and an exegesis laugh), you could read them in parallel?

Polyamory

What makes you think your analogy is apt?

You can finish reading a book in one sitting, without distractions.
With relationships on the other hand, you continuously meet and interact with others, some of whom become your good friends.

Maybe I am wrong, but you need to try harder if you care to explain to me why you can't see romantically an amazing coworker, for example.

Polyamory

That means, to choose one over the other. Fair enough!

but but but... leo and danny?? laugh

When I said about lying or being dead inside, I was talking about the possibility (or lack thereof) of developing feelings towards more than one person.

It seems most of us agree the possibility is there.

Now, can you see yourself in a situation where you would act upon those feelings, i.e. having parallel relationships?

Polyamory

What I was asking(and commenting upon) is whether you accept the possibility of developing romantic feelings for two men simultaneously. Acting upon those feelings is something else.

Polyamory

Commitment is a choice with moral implications and whatnot; feelings, less so. Let's talk about feelings if we can.

Polyamory

Let's not talk about affairs... too loaded a subject.
Let's stay at the level of feelings. Do you think it's possible to have romantic feelings for two men at the same time?

Polyamory

...or is it extrapolate? laugh

Polyamory

I can only interpolate from my experience, that's why I am asking for input.

Polyamory

Let's do it in two steps.

Can we first agree that we can feel romantic love for many people?
And secondly, should we get intimate with more than one or not, and why?

Polyamory

For me, the answer is obviously yes.

If someone says they can only love one person at a time, I think they are either lying or have internalized the duty of being committed to such a degree that they are a little dead inside.

dunno

Polyamory

Anyone who's ever thought it's possible to feel romantic love simultaneously for more than one person, in the same or in different ways, speak up!

RE: After a break-up, would you ask for your gifts back/would you give back the gifts?

No matter.

RE: After a break-up, would you ask for your gifts back/would you give back the gifts?

Asking for gifts? that's silly. Gifts with strings attached are unwelcome.

RE: Does your partner need to know ALL of your friends?

Exactly! Thank you!

I don't need to know a single friend of hers; I don't need to know where she is, with whom, what she does, etc.
