I am married and just got out of a non sexual emotional affair with a woman I have known for over 27 years. This was an unrequited love and as I recently found out after all this time-she is a sociopath. She had lead me astray for so long I can't rememeber when she wasn't in my heart. but she hurt me three times. I think I have actrually been infatuated with her for all this time. Infatuation is NOT love. Make sure you know the difference. I love my wife which is why I didn't leave her for the other woman.

I can love lots of different people, but I can only be in love with one at a time.

Yes, you can love 2 people at the same time. Go with your gut.

I don't think I have ever loved two men at the same time. If I love a man I love him until he makes me stop, but it may be better to love them two at a time. I have heard every woman should have a "pair and a spare." I think the OP is in a good position if one man acts up, she has a back up. Seriously after some time u will love one more than the other or one will be better for u than the other. U r just going to have to choose or a choice will be made for u.

Yes, you can love two people at the same time. It's very unsettling and I'd never want to be in that situation again, but it can be done. Eventually you will have to make a choice. I'd suggest going with the more stable one.

I have no doubt that someone could love two people at the same time but if we're talking about romantic love (which I think we are) then I don't see much future in it unless you're a polygamist. It just seems like it's inevitable that someone is going to be hurt because a choice between one or the other is going to have to be made at some point unless this situation becomes so bad that you don't end up with either one of them. I would assume that neither one of these two individuals knows about the other person that you also love so both of them are in an unfair situation. When you stop and think about it married couples often face this exact same problem when either the husband or the wife realizes that they're having romantic feelings for someone other than their spouse and the result is going to be very painful for whoever is going to be left behind.

Why limit love to only two people?

Let me think outside the box and ask "Why ?"
