I don't know if you my mylot friends remember the discussion I wrote here about my past boyfriend who suddenly re-appeared in my life out of nowhere asking me to marry him. Well things are really okey between the two of us but now I am confused with the feelings I have towards him and another man.
This other guy happens to be the love of my life. We are very good friends and I do not want to have a relationship with him unless it's for keeps because I cannot afford to lose him in my life. The problem here is I am at my happiest whenever I talk or communicate with this friend of mine. With my past boyfirend, I am happy to but not as happy as I can be when I talk with this other guy. So I am really confused. Can I really fall inlove with 2 people at the same time?

hi joiemarvic! well yeah you can, it's just not at the same intensity as the other. there's always one of them whom you will have more feelings for. basically, maybe you just miss the other guy or you just feel bad having to leave him but believe me or not, in a matter of days you will realize who of these 2 men will make your heart skip a bit- as in get you head over heels. try telling both of them i love you, then figure out for yourself who of them felt easier to say these words to, who of them felt more comfortable saying these words to, who of them do you fear losing now. you will realize that saying i love you to someone should be felt and should feel real, not just for the sake of saying it. at some point, saying i love you to one of them will feel like a task and that should not be the case. entertaining the idea that you love them both will only make you and even them confused and hurt. you might end up losing both of them in the long run.maybe you can keep one as a friend but there has got to be one of them who you want to be with as a partner, as a boyfriend, as someone who you see yourself marring one day. PS. i know the feeling. been there, done that. goodluck! :)

The second guy, the one whom I never had a "special relationship" is like my best confidante. Saying anything to him is as easy as breathing air. I always tell him that I miss him and I love him. He brightens up my day. He always make me feel appreciate. He makes me happy knowing that he is happy everytime I call him. The past boyfriend of mine has been cold to me lately. He ignores my calls every now and then. But when we talk he still wants to marry me so I am really confused. Confused or not about my past boyfriends real feelings, nothing change the fact that I am at my happiest whenever I am with or talk with this other guy.

your heart has given you the answer. i think by now you already know what to do. don't be fooled with what you hear. actions should be consistent with what he speaks. maybe, i'm not sure though, if your boyfriend realizes that at some point you already got tired and is ignoring him, he will be alarmed and make up for the wrong he has done you. this is when you will see if he really cares. but i don't think this will be a good choice. a beautiful relationship grows from deep friendship and with what you're telling me, it seems like the bestfriend is the better guy here. i just hope he is unattached with anybody else :) the situation may seem hard for you, but enjoy the journey. we learn through all the mistakes we make. goodluck!

But the problem is you are female not male. Because if you are in other religion which I don't want to mention so that to avoid bearing then you are a male, you can have not only 1 but as many as you can as long as you can give responsibility on it.
In your case you are the only one who knows the answer of falling in love with 2 men. Unfortunately you are going to marry 1 person unless you can convince your church or even the religion that you want to marry 2 men. As I see you are actually more in love and happy with your past boyfriend, so why not him?

Of course I cannot marry both of them. If I would marry, I would like to do it with someone I would like to spend my last days on earth with. The dilemna here is to whom would I like to spend forever with? My past boyfriend or this other guy.

Oh Joie!!
I can understand the dilemma and it's a tough call. But dearie you have to let go some thins in life to have a peaceful life. For he better interest of three of you, I think, it would be good if you can actually choose between the two. Trust me, things would get complicated and bitter eventually. So, why not, take the cudgels in your hand while still things are OK. I think, we should consider the situations when we are in great pains and how others have lent shoulders during those times and several others issues before marrying. Marrying is a huge responsibility and we have to be really calm before taking any decisions and that only you can take dear.
Good luck!

I have tried to let go. With my past boyfriend, I already let the feelings I had for him go, but after several years he comes back and tells me he wants me to be part of his life again. The other guy, I have long accepted the fact that it could never be US. That a relationship more that friendship is possible between us. but I still keep on hoping, just alittle bit. How can you stop loving a person that makes you happy by just being happy to hear my voice?

I don't want to believe that there is such a thing as being in love with two or many people at the same time, but I have seen it happening and it's really sad. Most specially when they are already committed to someone.
But in your case, you're single. I think you have every right to feel that way, however, I don't think there's no wrong decision as to who you would want to be as long as it's your decision and you made the decision yourself.
Love is a decision, with the decision comes the responsibility of being loyal to the partner you choose.

is normal^^ i also was choosing between two guys^^ but something he said made me see he wasnt right guy^^ this one loved me and i loved him but there was other guy that loved me so much since long already and i never was his gf. so when this guy i loved said something that i saw we were not meant for each other. about you, if you feel very happy with this friend more than with your past bf it just means you love him more^^ bcs love is feel happiness all time when we are with someone^^ maybe you think your past bf is love of your life bcs he appeared suddenly right? but maybe it was only a destiny trick you know. if you feel more happy with your friend more than with your bf is bcs your friend is the right one^^ talk with your bf^^ and say how you feel. i know wont be easy but dont be with someone that is not who you love the most or you might decide to leave him too late and then this friend you like much finds a gf. talk with your bf and tell him how you feel :) is not your fault if you fell for other guy^^

Hi joiemarvic... try to weight things down.. who makes you really happy? who makes you not? who wanted to accept you despite of your flaws? who wanted to face the challenges together with you? there is a lot of questions that need to be answer by you. you really not inlove with the other one. you are "inlove with the idea of being inlove..." you will be unfair to them if you continue that.. and as far as im concerned, we can never be inlove with 2 different person...
good lack...

I always thought about that before. Inlove with two men at the same time. I don't think that would be the nice way. I think you have to move on.And think about where your heart belongs.. Be loyal to your love ones and i think you are.Your just confused. When your confused always pray to GOD and asked him for the answer..

sweetie, you've already answered your own question.. you are NOT inlove with your exboyfriend.. you are just confused.. ask yourself this: why did your past relationship with exboyfriend didn't work out? settle down or choose this guy whom you love (and can't live without) - because this guy is the one who could make you happy..

You are in complicated situation right now my friend. But to tell you frankly you need to choose one of them you're being unfair for both of them. Try to determine and think who is really your true love and be honest to yourself and for that two man. It is not possible to be in love with no man. Spend time and you need space to decode for it. hope you can choose the better person among them..Good luck...

Falling in love to 2 guys at the same time is never fun. You can't be happy knowing that you'll can never get to continue with the set up. You can't ignore the fact that your love to both of them is not equal, you might be betraying the one and that is not love. Better get off from them. Apply the golden rule Jesus Christ taught: Do unto to others what you do want others do unto you.

NO, YOU CAN'T!!!
you'll be too SELFISH if doing so... what if you'll be in their foot? what would you feel? how would you respond?
be FAIR! choose someone who you think can really MAKE you happy... be with him... don't just decide to be with your boyfriend because you both in a relationship for too long.. trust me, that's not a good reason to give to yourself. We both know that you'll never feel happier the way you feel when you're with your friend.. Choose and be happy for what your decision might be so you'll never have REGRETS one day. ^_^
