Is it possible to romantically love more than one person

1. I agree with your definition of romantic love. 2. I do not agree that the romantic bond between two people must be known to everyone around those two people. 3. I do not agree that two people have to commit to each other for the rest of their lives to have a romantic bond. 4. I do not agree that in order to prove you are committed you have to get married. 5. I do not agree that people have to date in order to fall in love. 6. I do agree that just because two people date does not mean that they are committed to one another. 7. I agree that it usually takes dating a few people before you find the person you want to marry. I do not agree although that dating does not constitute being in true love. 8. I do not agree that if a person "breaks" a romantic bond between their partner that they were never in love with them. 9. I agree that a romantic bond can be broken if two people break up, divorce, or cheat, but I do not agree that this is always the case. 10. I do not agree that if a person cheats on their partner that they were never in love with them or that the relationship was based on sex. 11. I do not believe that a break up or divorce shows that a person gave up on the relationship due to stress. 12. I do not agree that people cannot date someone if they are still thinking about their last relationship. 13. I do agree that people must think about and fully commit to the person they are romantically in love with. Non-Controversial Premises: Premises 1,6,7,9,13 are not controversial. Premise 1 is not controversial because I agree with your definition of romantic love. Premise 6 is also not controversial because I agree that not everyone who is in a relationship is fully committed to their partner. There are many different reasons why people choose to date. I agree with the beginning of premise 7 that you usually have to date a few people before you find the person you want to marry, although; that is not always the case. I also agree with premise 13, that romantic bonds can broken if two people break up, divorce, or cheat, but again, this is not always the case. Premise 13 is also not controversial because I agree that a person must think about and fully commit to the person they are romantically in love with. Controversial Premises: 2. I do not believe that for two people to be romantically in love that everyone has to know about it. Being romantically in love with someone includes the two people who are romantically in love. What other people think or know about it is irrelevant. 3. I do not agree that two people have to commit to each other for the rest of their lives in order to be romantically in love. There are many different reasons two people don"t stay together, but that does not mean that they were never romantically in love. 4. I also don"t believe that you have to get married to prove that you are committed to the person you are romantically in love with. Being married, essentially, is the signing of a piece of paper in order to make it legal and recognized. Just because two people do not have this piece of paper does not mean that they are not committed to one another or romantically in love. 5. I don"t believe that two people have to date to be romantically in love. Although this is conventional, it is not always the case. 7. Although I agree with the first part of premise 7, I do not agree with the second half that says dating does not show true love. Two people can be romantically in love without being married. There are many people who can attest to this from personal experience, myself included. 8. I do not agree that if a person breaks a bond with their partner that they were never in love with them. This may be the case in certain circumstances, but not in all. There are many people who remain romantically in love with another but cannot be together for religious regions, personal reasons, etc. 10. Although I do not agree with cheating, just because a person engages in it does not mean that they were never or are not romantically in love with their partner. I would also like to know what your definition of cheating entails. 11. I do not agree that divorces or break ups happen because of stress. There are numerous factors that go into these things. Although stress could be one of the reasons, it is not the sole one. 12. I also do not agree that a person cannot date another person if they are still thinking about their last partner. This happens rather often, and dating someone is ultimately a title that is not always relevant to how a person truly feels. Therefore, you can date another person even if you are still in love with someone else.R03;
