Is it possible to romantically love more than one person at a time

1.) In round one, you stated that, "intimacy does not have to mean being sexually intimate with a person or more than one person". I never mentioned physical/sexual interactions or attractions among the status of romantically loving someone and intimacy; We were already clear with what both of us agreed romantic love is defined as in this sense. In a romantic relationship, intimacy, that special connection, is what leads to a potential love for someone. 2.) You cannot romantically love someone without ever being in love with them, because it is intimacy, as a factor of romantic love, that determines only one true love and does not apply to familial love. Sure you can have a deep connection with more than one person at a time, but there is always something more special about one over the other(s), that separates that form of intimacy and separates one person from the other, romantically. An authentic love is derived by an original, intimate connection. 3.) Polygamy is the practice of sharing each other romantically, there is no privacy because the relationships are in the open and known. I believe that people who are polygamous are more likely to think they are happier and less likely to have stability in their love life. They can later see that the happiness is not real happiness, that the purpose of having a romantic love is finding one"s other half, not sharing "love" romantically with all. See, real love is experiencing romance with one other person, and finding the part of oneself that is missing or giving that one part to your partner to make them whole. It works both ways, between both people. 4.) If someone is in two different relationships at once, I believe that what happens in one relationship does indeed have an effect on what happens to the other, because people can"t help but compare others to others and always find something better about one versus the other romantic partner. 5.) Feelings can rule the mind and ruin relationships without a doubt. If someone has romantic love for more than one person, they are free to have these feelings, that may have increased over time. However, if someone has a potential love for another and is already seeing someone romantically, they can convince themselves that it is completely normal and fine to feel these things, which it is, but they cannot escape the fact that it is wrong. It is wrong to continue loving one person while seeing other people and having romantic relationships with them as well, knowing it can hurt everyone involved. If they know that they have the capability of doing the right thing (conscious mind) and they choose not to for personal satisfaction and selfishness, it is wrong. There is a difference between subconsciously doing something and consciously doing something, and both do exist (feelings exist in the subconscious mind, the ability to reason exists in the conscious mind). 6.) I believe that friendship can be easily attained by these qualities of trust, understanding, honesty, and intimacy, and one can love more than one person as friends, not lovers. Romantic love however, in most cases derives from a deeper connection and attraction among each quality. You can trust one person who you share a romantic connection with, more than you can trust a close friend, there"s a difference.
