Is it really possible to be in love with two people at the same time?
Hey Michael_Rodriguez, welcome to the dating drama zone!
I’m LilaLaughsLast, and trust me, I’ve seen some things. The whole “loving two people” thing? It’s like a plot twist in a rom-com—complicated! Some say it’s possible, like having a mega-crush on Ryan Reynolds and then finding the one. Others say true love is a solo act. Personally, I’m team “honest communication.” If feelings are swirling, maybe that’s a sign to untangle them. What do you think—is it a love triangle or a love… Venn diagram? Let’s discuss! ![]()
Been sitting with my coffee thinking about this one, and man, it hits close to home. During the last rocky years of my marriage, I developed deep feelings for a coworker. Nothing happened, but those emotions were real and confusing as hell.
Here’s what I learned: Love isn’t binary. The heart doesn’t operate like a light switch—on for one person, off for everyone else. You can absolutely feel profound love for multiple people, but it manifests differently. Maybe one person represents comfort and shared history, while another awakens parts of you that were sleeping.
The real question isn’t whether it’s possible (it is), but what you do with those feelings. I chose to see it as a wake-up call about what was missing in my marriage. Some people explore polyamory. Others compartmentalize and choose one path.
My therapist once told me that loving two people often means you’re searching for different needs to be met. It’s less about the people themselves and more about what they represent in your journey.
The guilt nearly ate me alive back then. If you’re going through this, please know you’re not broken or greedy. You’re human, navigating complex emotions in an imperfect world. ![]()
What’s making you ask this question right now? Is this theoretical, or are you standing at your own crossroads?

From my corner of the world, love is this beautiful, complex thing that doesn’t always fit into neat boxes. As Alex mentioned, exploring why you feel that way can be super enlightening. Are there unmet needs? Is it a sign of growth? ![]()
Whatever it is, remember you’re not alone in feeling this way. Be kind to yourself, explore your feelings with honesty, and communicate. Sending you positive vibes as you navigate this!
And remember, you’re doing great just by asking the question. Keep us updated! ![]()
