Is it possible for a man to fall in love with two women at the same time and want to have a relationship with both either jointly or separately? I know society does not accept it and it willnaever be met with approval, but it dies keep happening in real life. so why the tendency to brush it under the carpet? Why can't people accept it and let such people live in peace. When people can accept gays and lesbians staying together, why not a man with two wives either jointly or separately?

oh yeah for sure it's possible that you can fall inlove with two people at the same time but don't you think it's not fair for neither of them? that's cheating and that's you being selfish.

I disagree..its not cheating at all..My husbnad and my bf know about each other, they have talked to each other, my husband has driven me miles and miles to go spend weekends with him and so on..How is it cheating? If we are all aware of each other and fine wiht the situation, in agreement with it how could it possibly be cheating or unfair to anyone involved ya know... Is it for everyone LOL HELL NO...but that doesnt mean that for some of us it doenst work...It works just fine for us...I love them, they love me, my kids love all of us and its all good..

HI friend, i would say its definitely possible for a man to fall in love with two woman but it would defnitely not be true love and it would be more like a fling in my opinion. Its definitely not going to be legal as it will create alot of problems if a man marrys two wife. Loving 1 woman is enough in my opinion, we should never fall in love with two.

Who said gay relationships are accepted? I have not accepted them. I would accept a guy with two wives before I accept two men being married! But that's just my opinion. Most republican's can't and won't accept homosexual marriage. Seriously, if you find yourself in love with two women, perhaps you don't really love either of them. Perhaps it is more infatuation than anything else. In this day and age society accepts anything that is outside the 'box'. So what does it matter? If you find two women willing to share you, then pal you are living out most men's fantasy. Would you seriously care what society has to say? Look at Hefner! He doesn't give a dang. In my closing, I just have to reiterate, you most likely don't really LOVE either of these women, you like them and each one for their individual attributes.

Hi friend, i think it is definitely possible that a man or woman can fall in love with two person, which is 1 leg step on 2 boats. Although its not accept by society and in my opinion a person who falls in love with 2 persons is a very irresponsible person. How can a love be split on to 2 persons? if it is really like this, i think its very unfair for them.!

Of course its possible and I am actually in a very similar situation..I am happily married, been married for 5 yrs and together for 10 AND I have a boyfriend as well...Do we all live togehter? No, though TO ME that would be ideal..Do they know about each other? Of course, they've had numerous chats together etc etc...Is it an unsual situation...only to those who make it so...To us though its not..its different and hard to explain to some ppl but other than that its just the way it is..It works for us and thats all that matters..

I think if a man falls in love with two different women then it would make me wonder. If he was totally happy with one of the women, what would he see in another? I'm happy with my Hubby so there isn't anything missing that would attract me to another man. Also if he has two g/f's or wives, then neither of them are getting his full love or attention...which means he's cheating them out of a full relationship. Just my thoughts.

I always hear persons say that you can love two people at the same time. I doubt it because everyone has different personalities and there bond to be lack of love on one side. Some people are tolerant to homosexuals but I think it is wrong to married two persons. I have seen were a great musicans in our country who has two wives one set live upstairs and the other downstairs. I know that if I am to have my husband (if I did have one) marrying anothe woman I would be jealous because that means I have to shared and I don't think I would like to do that. Can you imagine been at home wanting your husband then you forget that tonight is not my night it is the other wife night. I watched a Nollywood Movie (I love these Movies) where the husband has two wives living in the same house and it cause stress to him and make him take his life. I am a sharing person but when it comes to my man no way. I am inclusive.

In many cultures more then one wife is accepted. I, myself would have welcomed another wife, she could have shared all the work and duties. If this were allowed there would not be as many divorces. Even here in the US in some places multiple wives are OK, just remember that you have to support all of them. I think NEV. and Utah both accept this in some of their outlying areas.

YES, I think it is possible. It would not be cheating if every one knew about it and was ok with it. Our society does not accept this, but I think it could be a wonderful thing. Maybe if society were more accepting there would not be as much infidelity. Hmmm .... just a thought.

It depends, I guess, there is a religion accepting more than two wives as long as the man can provide for his families. There are also a number of religions that do not encourage that, and just like what you said it is a cultural thing. Then, I guess, we have to change culture if we adopt such.

Why not is right!I have had to decide between two women at the same time and found that I do have love for both of them at the same time. After all there are certain religious cultures today that do allow this and I am not saying that you should be religious to practice such doctrines. The only thing to add to this would be how your parnters except this sort of conduct. Should they also be allowed to have more than one partner at the same time. It does seem that this would be appropriate. Crocket.

Call me a romantic but I believe that you can only be in love with one person at a time. However, I do believe that there are certain qualities in a person you can fall in love with but not the person themselves. For example, say someone is married, and their partner and themselves always used to talk about everything. Then one person from that relationship starts working really hard and putting the job first because in their mind they need to make more money for the family. However the conversation between them starts to decrease. The one giong through the rough time starts talking to a friend and because they are there to listen, they might think that they are becoming attracted to them. Reality: they are. Our body and mind knows that it needs certain emotional and physical needs met. They are getting those met so they start to think that is what is needed. In reality what needs to happen is the couple needs to sit down and talk or at least undertand what is going on between eachother. Communication is key!!! Sorry, but I'm going into psychiatry and can think of a scenerio for pretty much anything. I like working things out like that. To me this is just attraction. There are feeling developing because of your needs being met.

I'm always discussing this with people, more so, women (Y?). Here's the deal, one can not love 2 individuals at the same time equally, it is utterly impossible! U can care for more than one person, but deep affectionate love, no! How are you able to dedicate time and devotion to an individual if it is divided? Impossible! How can you grow as one unit and teach morality to your children (if u plan to have any)? Impossible! It's impossible to keep everyone on the same page, impossible to maintain order! It's a fantasy filled thought, but if we were made to be with one man or woman, who are we to try n change that? That's why those things never work out, n it also has 2 names - Adultry and Infidelity! Taripre$

I will never agree with this concept, because it's VERY degrading to women. On the other hand, I have absolutely NOTHING against gays or lesbians, but that has nothing to do with your original discussion. Cheating is something horrible, and I see this act of loving two women, or let's say men (by women) as wrong, and socially unacceptable. You, as a man, either love one woman, and are aware that you should treat her right, and love and cherish her, or the other!, but never two at a time. Plus, women are crazy jealous over the smallest thing, I don't even see this concept as being one that would work, for eg. in islamic countries, bc women would try to kill each other, if they were to share a man :P Cheers!

I think its not possible for a man to fall in love with two women equally.definitely there will be a little bit diffrence in treating and loving them.Himself he should realize that who is really more affectionate to him.
