Of course it is but it isnt possible to love two people in exactly the same way you can love them both but it will be two different types because they wll be different people and ultimatley one will always get hurt

so i need to understand that there is another level of love that causes you to love people in a relationship between a man and a woman that make you love two people with different kind of love?isnt that lust or what term can i use for it?

I think it is possible and happens quite often! However, when it comes to getting hurt, that only happens when one person asks the other person to choose which one they will stay with! If polygamy was legal, they could all live together and still be happy!

Its still love, for example how you loved a first love might not be how you feel with a second love but doesnt mean you love them any less just in a different way because the people are different so you love and admire different things about them, that is how it is easy to love two people at the same time especially if they are very different.

Yes is possible and it's wonderful to be that open with your willingness to love. You know that old saying Love: The more you give the more you get. Loving more than one person at a time doesn't mean you necessarily have to have a relationship with both.

Yes, you can love two people at the same time, but you can't devote all your love to both of them. Therefore, you don't love them both in the same way. Love grows from friendship and it's perfectly possible to love to people, but very difficult to keep two actual relationships going.
Brightest Blessings.

yes good from from you my friend,i agree with you,one of the two will definitely suffer neglect from you as you cannot be in the same place at the same time,you just cant really have the same affection for both

it is possible to love anyone or anything, love is a waiting game. you need to wait to find the thing you love, however the thing you love may take you a year to love it. you might be talking to the person now that you will love one day.

yes i agree with you that love is a feeling that grows over time from our emotionsand you just cant explain how you came about it especially between a man and a woma,but i cant seem to understand loving two men at the same time

Its possible to fall in love with someone. But to fall in love two at a time...I guess so. Sometimes our heart so bias to feel that way. It's hard for me to prove that fact coz i never had kind of experienced. My heart really belong to one person everytime i fall in love.
But if ever it comes..You should know HOW to choose or No one to choose of the two. I guess that is an abnormality of our heart sometimes. Know how to compare and to balance in making your choice.

you are right ,sometimes we feel we are in love whereas we only are infactuated with the other person,inorder not to make a wrong and foolish decision,there is a need for us to truly check why we want to be with that person,is it because of one thing or the other?or material things and sometimes its just because we cant explain it but really the heart will always go for just one person at a time without a reason why the other person may be for a personal or selfish or material reason,i hope you agree with me?

I don't think I have ever experienced true, heart-felt world-altering being in love, but I think part of that package is a disclaimer that it can only be with one particular person, so personally no, I don't think you can be in love with two people at once.
It's just plain greedy!

I have loved more than one person at a time. The two people did not feel the same for me though. Only one of them truly loved me back. The other one just wanted me for a few minutes and that was it.

That must be hard, personally, I will say it's not! Among the 2 I'm sure, one will get the highest level, it will not be equal! I wonder how she managed her time dealing with two different people and claiming she love them both equally! She must be tough!..hahahha! Anyway, it has been said that everything is possible so maybe for others it is!

[i]Hi BYOLA,
I have not been in this situation but I guess it is very possible! I remember a friend in college who experienced this and later on, he tried to assess their behavior and personality and choose one to marry! [/i]

yes i do understand that sometimes we tend to believe that we love two peopel but if we do a good analysis of our feelings we will discover that deep down inside we only feel some thing for just one of them and the other feeling may be for a reason and from my understanding of what love is it is not based on a reason but on deep setting feelings which comes naturally without being based on any factor,i hope you agree with me?

It is indeed possible to feel love for two or more people, even romantic love! Just as we love both of our parents and our children, we can love as many people as we meet! but the question is, can we trust the other persons, to be honest and show their true natures? I know of women who thought they were in love, but the other person was only showing one side of himself, actually a completely fake side, so she was in love with a fictional character! The other problem with loving too much is the fear, jealousy and hatred that may arise from the two men if they know about each other! Sometimes they do not mind, but it is human nature (modern human nature) to be resentful of the second person!

actually you we always love one person. in our hearts there is a space for only one person.
but, sometimes a person would have two people if s/he feels insecure and afraid that the person S/HE loves would go away. well, I feel it is super wrong to do that.
that is what i think.

i agree with you that we can onlyhave one person to love but the feeling of insecurity sometimes will make a person want to look for what i refer to "as extra spanner"just in case of a dissappointment,but i believe that sometiems we allow ourselves get into some trouble with this kind of attitude of looking for an extra hand,dont you think so?

I definitely think it is possible to love 2 people at once but the love for both of them is never equal you always love one more. In this lady's case I would say that she just doesn't know which one she loves more... I love a whole lot of people but none of them compare to my boyfriend and the love I feel for him and I love the other people in different ways... like my best friend who is a guy I love him because he has always been there for me and at one time we did date but now I see that I only love him as a friend... not sure if this helps at all because I kind of got off topic a bit but thanks for reading anyways.
