Can you promise that you just fell for only one person?

I keep thinking and asking people about this:How'd you deal with that you fell for another person when you currently are in a relationship?Is it possible that you have the ablity to fell for some persons which you haven't met yet even when you are in love now?

I think it is totally possible to like or love more then one person at a time. I also think that is normal for us humans. But being faithful is something different. If you committed to someone, then you should be loyal and faithful to that person. I also believe that people have feelings for others all the time. But they could also be passing crushes or phases.

I understand that I really do. But remember that true love will prevail. No matter what. Lets say you are with someone, you love them, but the other person is your soulmate, you one true love. That love is stronger then the one you feel for your current partner. You cannot deny your real feelings either. And it would not be fair to the one you're with to just stay with them when you really feel connected to another. Sometimes the best way to love someone is to let them go.

But how many people would let them go?I guess less and less are willing to do that, it is torture in another way.

Hi inertia, you're making a point.It is kinda hard to stop feeling for someone,but once you committ to someone, you have to be faithful and loyal no matter how you feel about another person.

It depends to people what is the meaning of felling in love for? if love means just use and throw as means for so many then it is possible not to keep only two in the heart in the same time, it is possible to hold so many in the heart and call them felling in love... but if felling in love happens in real meaning with true feeling then I do not think somebody who is in real love is able to think or have feeling for somebody else more than his or her love.

Have seen this and not sure why people stay in their current relationship if they are always 'looking' for something better. Are they just in a relationship for the sake of 'being' with someone? There are times that we feel an attraction for others, but if our relationship was so secure then it wouldn't be happening. I think people that fall in love easy need to look at themselves. I know people fall in love several times in their life, but if you are in a committed relationship; I think a person needs to look at themselves and figure out what is missing that they 'fall in love' all the time. To me that is a person that isn't living in a practical world.

Well if still in doubt, why not spend some time alone - without anyone - and then see how you feel? Staying in a relationship when you have feelings for another isn't fair to that person or yourself. Maybe a person just needs to spend sometime alone to really see what and who they want.

Thanks for sharing you opinion,kprofgames! what if they are in a committed relationship and still want to be with each other, but the problem is if one of them can't make these feelings you fell for another person go away.

i think it's possible but being in love with a person doesn't mean you are in a relationship. before i jump into another relationship, i make sure that the present will end first.

i think what happens with the other people is an infatuation,you are not in love else you may be having what we may call a crush.if it love happens then you have fallen out of love or the person you loved has failed to meet your expectations.

Thankn for you comment, pomwango!I agree with "crush".I got another question,what if you fall for your friend when you are in a relationship.Does it still goes to"crush"?

Well, I got this in a movie and I qoute " If you can live without her, then you're NOT inlove with her". Stop it asap and move on, you just do a favor to both of you so the same can move forward. BUT as I qoute again " If you CAN'T live without her, YOU are inlove with her". Sometimes you fell out of love and thought you like someone else but it's just one of those trials that you have to go through wherein if you overcome it , your relationship becomes stronger. :)

I think the one who falls in love easily actually is not quite satisfied with the way he or she lives! Anyway,thanks for your responce, that's the most persuading saying!

don't be fooled and leave your relationship for a phantom. you may find that the grass is not greener on the other side. if you relationship is not happy, then don't cheat to find a way out of the relationship. just be honest and say you want out.

Hi Moon! Always be honest in relationhips.I'm not good at cheating and I'll never cheat, that's why I don't usually go for the relationship thing.

As someone whose never been in that situation I can't say. For me its not possible. I do believe that a person can fool themselves into believing they are in love with another person besides the current partner. Especially if the relationship isn't going so smoothly and this other person is giving the time and attention that the partner is not.

it's possible but, you know you have the responsibility to be faithful to the person you love and loves you. you have a brain and you can use it to think what is right and what is wrong. you have your free will but if you choose what you believe is wrong, you have to be ready to face the consequences of your actions. only unfaithful people fall for two different persons at the same time.
