Is it possible to romantically love more than one person at once

When forming any type of relationship either romantically love or not, the participants have the option of commitment. As you agreed commitment is not a requirement, it is only a practice that people can choose to have in their relationship. I do concede that commitment in a relationship of romance can be help make the outcome better but it is not required. However being committed doesn"t not require faith or binds to one single person. An individual can be committed to multiple people and things. For example a student who works is committed to their job and their school work alongside with other responsibilities they may have. A person can have a romantic relationship with more than one person and be committed to them both them, because commitment is just simply showing devotion. Showing devotion does require time and energy, but as I said in reference to your premise (3) time and energy can be shared evenly with multitasking. 3. Loving multiple people can be compared to being a student, because it to is both challenging and rewarding. I agree that spreading your time and energy between the multiple individuals, can be challenging, but it is possible. Romantically loving multiple people at once is also rewarding, because you get the best of both worlds. While one person may provide you pleasurable feelings more than the other, the other person may give you emotional security. Both of these feelings are both rewarding. 7. I still stand by my argument of romantically loving someone who is deceased and someone who is living at the same time, because it is relevant. Although you are stating that the topic relates to being in love simultaneously it still applies, because a person is still caring the same emotion that is defined as romantic love for both people, living and dead at once. Romantic love is and emotion that cannot be turned off instantly. If a women"s husband died yesterday, she is still in love with him today. Those feelings defined as romantic love are still present. Even though the husband is dead the women still can feel the emotions of pleasurable feelings, while having emotional security and attraction towards him through his memory and gaining all the nurturing she needs through his memories as well. Alongside having these feelings for her deceased husband, she can have the same feelings for someone else who is living. Thus making it possible to be romantically in love with two people at once. I do understand your point, however your point would only be relevant if the topic related to dating, because it is impossible to date a dead person, while dating a living person at the same time. Since romantic love is only an emotion my premise (7) is possible. Romantic love being and emotion also brings me to the argument of still being romantically in love with a person who has dumped you, while being romantically loving someone else. As I stated before romantic love is an emotion. If someone gets dumped they can still possess the emotional feelings of romantic love while, having the same feeling for someone else at the same time. Loving two different people doesn"t necessarily mean they have to keep separate lives, we see this being shown through open relationships and Mormon marriages. Thus proving it"s possible to romantically love more than one person at a time without creating different persona"s, and lack of effort time, energy and commitment.
