It is possible to romantically love more than one person at the same time.

1. Love is defined as an intense feeling of deep affection. 2. A romantic relationship is built on love, devotion and attachment. 3. Devotion can be defined as a sort of commitment, whether it is commitment to a person or an idea. Devotion cannot be defined as betrayal. It cannot be tied with loyalty. Loyalty does not have anything do with being devoted to your romantic partner. 4. Dating occurs prior to a romantic relationship occurring. 5. Sexual attraction towards partners is usually included in a romantic relationship. Couples are sexually attracted to one another and partake in sexual intercourse and many other sexual activities. It is a part of the relationship process. 6. People in a romantic relationship don"t necessarily stick it out through thick and thin. So one partner can be in a new relationship, and fall in love with their current partner, but still be in love with their former partner. 7. Based on the religion, polygamist marriages must be consensual. Stories of dowries and child bearings are not the case in every family. However, I can agree with your thought about it not being moral, but this is a system of belief for them. So for them, it is moral. It is a part of their culture and it is a voluntary process that no one is being forced into. The bride and groom give their permission. The wife gives her permission before the husband can remarry. 8. Polygamy can be based off of real love. A husband is supposed to treat all of his wives equally. It is possible for the husband to love his wives equally also. 9. Infidelity is defined as being unfaithful to one's romantic partner or spouse. This does not include watching porn. However, this does include kissing going out on romantic dates and partaking in sexual intercourse or coitus. 10. If men don"t plan on cheating, then it is not their fault. Sometimes a female can approach them. Sometimes, men are the victims. They can be lured into it. It can also happen coincidentally. Then, they can end up falling for the mistress and still be in love with their wife. 11. Nymphomania is an addiction that can be acquired over time. A nymphomaniac can get married, and then acquire this addiction. This addiction does not have to happen prior to the marriage. 12. I can agree with your statement about people becoming possessive in premise 10. 13. The purpose of this premise was to prove that a girl can romantically love her best friend, and her boyfriend, at the same time. She is in love with both of them, at the same time. 14. Therefore, it is possible for an individual to romantically love more than one person at the same time. I have readjusted my premises, so the numbers are off. I have added a premise on nymphomania. I have added new premises on the definition of devotion. I would like to note, that I cannot agree with my opponent"s definition of devotion because of the word "loyalty." I do not believe that loyalty must be included in devotion. Regarding polygamy, I would like to state that the religion does not approve of dowries, or "selling" your daughters. I would also like to state that even though I agree with my opponent"s view on polygamy being immoral, I still respect and understand the cultural points of polygamy. I also stand by my position of how people in a polygamist marriage can be in love, with more than one person, at the same time. I have agreed to premise 10, because I can see how a person becoming too possessive is the same concept as them thinking they are better than their partner. Also, that they want control over someone. I have only agreed to this, because we did not define love as a controlling relationship. However, this does not change my thesis. I would also like to point out that my opponent has agreed to premise 11 in round 1, so basically agreeing to one of the scenarios of being in love with more than one person at the same time. Thus, I have proved my point and I stand by my thesis that an individual can romantically love two people at the same time.
