Can you be in love with two different persons at the same time?

Yes. If you could only love one person at a time, people would not have more than one child. As far as romantic situations go, I stay loyal to the one I am with.

Yes, and yes.

Romantically? I don’t think so.

Yes, it’s called anime (or a love triangle).

I think you are referring to a manage a trois phoenyx .

If I remember correctly, ménage à trois implies that all three people are, um… involved with each other. A love triangle is where someone is in love with two different people who both love that person in return (and that central person is forced to choose between them, yada, yada, drama, drama).

(This kind of thing seems to show up a lot in Japanese comics)

I was going by the literal translation of the term. *[1] The French phrase literally translates as “household of three”. * I am not into anime, but I thought it was a type of animation.

Yes, reminds me of Carrie with Aidan & Mr. Big! ;) jk. I know thats fictional.

Its never happened to me and never will, I’m happy with my man.

Actually, the better definition is Polyamory. I know many people that have successfully lived this way, and are very happy.

Yeah, the anime remark was a jape. Anime more accurately described as an animation style, not a particular type of storytelling.

If we are speaking of romantic love, which seems like the only possible context for the question, I think the answer is no. Neither of the feelings the individual has is truly love if the person has them for two different people. Infatuation, maybe. Lust, probably. Love? No.

You can definitely be in love with two people at the same time, since I have been. This actually came up in a LiveJournal community I’m part of just recently, and this is what I had to say about it when people started asking questions:

I was with one person and I wasn’t going to cheat. And I loved them, dammit, even though I also loved the other person, so I wasn’t going to break up with them. I didn’t love either one any more or less than the other so I just stayed where I was and cursed myself loudly and often for not having the ability to magically control my emotions.

Yes you can be in love with 2 people! I think that there are aspects of there personality that you love ! they could be completely different but you just can’t live without them !

@jenni Did you mean “their” there?

yes and it can only bring misery.

Yes and yes and totally agree with the misery comment just above.

yes, i know because i’ve totally had this happen to me. it’s really frustrating especially when you’re in a relationship with someone already, but you also have feelings for someone else at the same time. morally, i dont see anything wrong with it, as long as you’re faithful to the one you’re involved with.
