I have always wondered if that is possible – to love two people at the same time. I think that to insist on the belief that there is only one soul mate is kind of silly. Throughout our lives we fall in love so many times with so many different people. We are attracted to many things and as we change and grow older our taste changes.
What do we love in a person?
I have looked back at my “being in love” experience and I see so many different people that are nothing alike. That would make me think that we fall in love with characteristics – personality, unique looks, laughter, smile and etc., so loving more than one person at the same time may not be entirely unfeasible, thus the two loves could be considered complementary rather than contradictory.
Emotionally, it is extremely painful to imagine your lover in the arms of another person as that might feel as you are not good enough or that they do not love you anymore but that is another topic…
As I said, I am just wondering if that is possible to love two people simultaneously
Yes, I think it is. You love them for who they are, and their different qualities. I believe we can love different things about different people, and that doesn’t take away from the love we feel for any of them.

theoretically, we could love but how does it play out in real life? can you have a relationship with both of them at the same time?

I don’t think you can romantically be “in love” with two people at the same time. It is possible to love more than once though in a lifetime.

see, I think there is a big difference between being in love and loving. If we are talking about being in love, then I agree – you can’t be in love with two people at the same time …or can you?
Being in love is, more or less, a checmical reaction when you are attracted to their smell, looks, feel…etc…and are blind to everything else
Loving somebody is when the real life kicks in and you know and accept everything about that person – the good and the bad. You compromise, you work at it, you change, you grow. It is when you love them the way they are…
