Can you romantically love more than one person at once

1.Sometimes in a relationship two people have been together for a very long time. At one time the relationship was based on romantic love, but slowly over time it dissolved to more of the type of love you feel for a brother or sister. These feelings are sometimes unbeknownst to the parties involved so when they do feel romantic love for another person they may think they are in love with two people at one time. 2.People sometimes confuse sex, lust, and infatuation for feelings of romantic love. 3.Thinking that you are romantically in love with two people at once is an indicator that you are emotionally confused and not being honest with how you feel. 4 & 5. Humans are very capable of expressing love to more than one person at a time, but that type of love could be platonic, such as the feelings towards a family member. My mother and sister share the same birthday, I sent them both flowers. Does this mean I am romantically in love with my mother and sister? 6. Sex can be considered an act of romantic love but can also be an act of lust, infatuation, or boredom. Sex alone has no indication of romantic love. 7. The practice of polygamy itself does not prove that it is possible to romantically love more than one person at the same time. It merely proves that a man has more than one wife. There are millions of people in this world that are in loveless marriages. 8. Religious organizations may have been trying to stop polygamy trying to prevent the lopsided ratio between men and woman couples which has nothing to do with romantically loving more than one person at once. 9. Being mammals have no bearing on if it is possible to romantically love more than one person at the same time. 10. I agree with the concept of survival of the fittest and that it is hardwired into genes to procreate as much as possible. However, there is a difference between mere sex and romantic love. 11. Why isn"t it possible to stay with one mate, whom you truly love and trust to raise children the right way with and have multiple children as opposed to just having sex with multiple partners having one child each with no love, decreasing the chance that the man will be able to help raise any of the children? 12. What if the man truly loves his wife romantically and has no desire to have children? And if the man did want to have children and cheated on his wife, does this necessarily indicate romantic love or just sex for the primary reason of procreation. 13. Love is deep feeling of affection towards another. 14. It is not possible to love more than one person at once. 15. Therefore, people involved in the relationship aren"t always honest with themselves or their partner. 16. Therefore, people sometimes cannot distinguish romantic love from other feelings. 17. Therefore, some kind gestures are indicative of more than one type of love. 18. Therefore, sex and sometimes procreation is a component of romantic love, not its entirety. Controversial: 1.
