      I went to America fill in love with a man in Vegas and I was already married to my husband it was true love not ljust!!! The big problem IS breaking hearts and people who are only LUSTING-being selfish thinking only of themselves-THAT AINT LOVE,. Friends
      Yes I tried to make it all work but that’s THE DREAM
      Yes in the end nobody wins everybody loses
      I will always love them to a degree

    i read all those comments and i have to say. i don't agree with most of them.
    what if, you fall in love with one person and later with another person, but still when you see person 1 you feel the butterflies.
    and akso when you see person 2 you can feel them.
    and please stop saying, that something is not possible.
    it is about love. everything is possible.

      @@nb_3736, I strongly feel that falling in love with multiple people is not only possible, but for some preferable. My strong and only suggestion is to be open and honest with everyone involved. Secondly, if this is the kind of person you are I would make people aware before getting into a serious relationship with anyone you are considering before the relationship moves to the serious level.

    I was in this situation in my late 20s (I’m now 45). I chose to stay with the first guy, which was 100% the WRONG choice. I knew it within a few months after making the choice, and looking back, I can totally see it even more clearly. I should’ve gone with the guy with whom I felt open to be more of my silly self with and whom I was most honest with when it came to sex and other touchy areas. There’s also something to be said about the fact that I was even able to be so uncontrollably attracted to the second guy even though I was quite in love with the first at the same time. Things were obviously not right with the first guy; I needed something else. I wish I had made the right choice. We would be happy together today. He ended up meeting a nice woman, marrying her, and then died in a traffic accident 4 years ago (he was 41, and I was 40 at that time). I had always hoped that if things didn’t go well with her, he and I would somehow gravitate back towards each other. Now I will never get to be with him. I wish I had made a different choice. I’m still looking for a man just like him.

    Maybe we should look at what we're missing with the old partner. Instead of looking someone else for that need, but express that need to your new partner.

  • @MsBeyourbest
    @MsBeyourbest 7 років тому +68

    I'm so glad emphasis was placed on "getting to choose how you respond to how you feel." There's always a choice...and most of the time people who are already in committed relationships make the wrong choice of being sneaky and dishonest. I think it's important to establish boundaries against your emotions when you're in a relationship to decrease the risk of becoming emotionally connected to someone other than your significant other.

    If you're in love with two people, you already violated your commitment to your current partner. You engendered your love by engaging with someone of your preferred sex, recognized the attraction at some point but continued to develop intimacy and let that blossom into love. Attraction cannot be avoided...falling in love (real love, not lust) can be! Honor your partner and their feelings.

    • @TheTonyspik
      @TheTonyspik 5 років тому +17

      love can not be avoided. How you respond to that love can be. If one sees this new person on a daily basis such as a coworker. In addition, there are lots of people who have said they didn't even like their partner when they first met them, but eventually ended up loving them. Love or connection is oftentimes correlated to proximity.

  • @shanig
    @shanig 7 років тому +24

    IYANLA! you better preach! I see what you did here. You needed to tie "LOVE" with "Lust" and just call it 'Love" because there are those out there that are convinced that if they are turned on "romantically" by someone, they're immediately "in love", which is not true at all, you're in lust at best. I love how you identified all of the problems that come when choosing the new "love" over the old one. I love how you also identified all of the weaknesses of that person that find him/herself in love with 2 different ppl.. commitment & discipline.
    I believe ppl will always lust for those they are not in a relationship with, but to be in love is not as simple as the definition defines it. There are so many elements to consider. Love is a serious belonging and its very spiritual.

  • @knv1979

    I'm not quite sure that I would necessarily equate being infatuated with a new person (what you describe as passionate love) when bored with your current relationship "love". It might just be that, infatuation or simply lust. However I suppose it is possible to have a profound spiritual connection with two souls for different reasons but at the end of the day I think one would emerge as the more practical or desirable choice for one reason or another

    I never thought this was possible either. I have been with a man for 14 years. We split, I met someone and then the ex and I started trying it again. This was 2 years ago. I love them both. They both have qualities that I absolutely cherish. They know about each other and we have even hung out all together on a few occasions (awkwardly). I have told them both that I have no idea what to do and begged for them to figure it out, or for one to give up. Thag probably sounds horrible. I have a large heart. It kills me inside to see either of them hurt inside so horribly. How do I walk away? Neither of them make it any easier. When I have chose throughout the two years. The one I did not choose just would not give up. No matter how much they say I have killed them inside and they want nothing to do with me. Neither will fold. I am completely at a loss, almost to the point of making myself physically ill. I need help. Is there anymore advice? I need it asap. My stress and anxiety has never been so bad. Please help

      After one year of breakup I found another guy and both of them areee soo nice...! I thought he is the one!
      But things didn't go well and we ended up in no contact two months later both of them come back at the same time...
      And I'm kinda talking to them both... Both of them are really really nice and they know I'm talking to both...
      And it feels like they're competing to win me over nowww...
      And I don't know man it's such a mix of emotions... I feel guilty but at the same time I know it's not my fault...
      Sometimes I just feel like I'm a prize both of them are trying to win...
      This is just sooo weird mannn...
      I have no idea what to dooo!!!!
      And yup they both went to the same school so they already know each other even before they knew me!

      Hi, I was in a similar situation 1 year ago. What worked for me was to choose one of them. My partner doesn't have the traits I really loved from the other one but he has many others and, at the end of the day, one cannot have it all. You cannot imagine the weight that was lifted after I finally made up my mind. And it was so sad, I was crying for days and the partner I chose couldn't understand the sadness. But time does cure everything. And letting go opened up space in my heart to focus on the person I chose. After a couple of months all I felt was bliss in my relationship and gratitude towards the person I let go. The truth is, and you probably know it to, you would be happy with either of them. Because your happiness doesn't depend on them as it does on you and it will be you who chooses whom to love. I hope this helps :)

      IF he wants or she wants to love two people, then now it's your time to decide if you will accept that or you will move on. Polyamory is indeed a thing. People have created monogamy and 1 on 1 relationships, but that doesn't mean it's the correct relationship. Plus one can be in a polyamorous relationship and still be monogamous. Monogamy means being committed to a person, but who said one can't be committed to two people?

    I was in love with 3 at one time. One knew about the others because we were in an open relationship. I was committed to all three. I just had to be careful getting the names mixed up so I just called them all baby. It was a fantastic experience. Each one had something the others didn't have. It was like having the perfect mate divided into three men. Hard to explain. It was tricky though making sure the dates didn't run into each other. And no, I didn't like them being with others but I sure did enjoy sharing my love with three.

    I've been casually seeing this one guy and our bond has started to strengthen and I somewhat see him wanting more with some of his little gestures. He warms my heart but we're not there yet and aren't committed to each other yet.
    I kinda also reconnected with my ex earlier this year and had been sporadically seeing him. This ex I have a lot of history with and had deep feelings for and a part of me still does, even after a little over a year to the break up.
    I'm so confused about if I should continue to nurture the dynamic I have with the new guy or should I try to put in efforts to make things work with my ex. Right now I have neither of them and I fear my greed of not being able to choose who to pursue and continue to put efforts into will make me lose both of them. Because I have my leg in two boats right now and I'll eventually drown at the rate at which I'm going.
    The new guy is giving me enough but commitment is not on the table yet however it's not off the table either. With my ex there is so much baggage that we've only talked about keeping it casual and limited to physical encounters but we do have moments where we get vulnerable and talk about the break up. And I find myself feeling things for him again as he stirs up these strong emotions in me.
    Now I know people who say that an ex is an ex for a reason and maybe start a fresh chapter with someone new but it's hard when your turbulent mind pulls you in two different directions. I still feel strongly about my ex and have had several positive experiences with him after the reconnection but we see each other occasionally. Could say the same about the new guy, it's a new budding dynamic and we are having a lot of positive experiences that are frequent.
    But just as I start to get into this idea of wanting this new guy, my ex pops back up and we have this very vulnerable chat or a fun meet up that kinda messes with my head a bit. I'm very confused about which direction I want to go in. I don't know what I want!

      I dated the "new" guy without labels for nearly two years during law school. The casual dynamic worked for me then since it allowed me to invest in the capacity of a situationship and I also got to occasionally see my ex without feeling like I was cheating. The "new" guy also enjoyed the freedom of dating around while having me as a constant companion. I probably would have gotten serious with him but I never got that feeling or reassurance from him. But when I became a lawyer, I wanted to take things more seriously. He asked for two months to think, as "serious" meant marriage to him. During that time, I noticed he’d grown complacent, enjoying the no-strings-attached arrangement, and had started talking to another woman just around that time. I ended things, and later found out he continued seeing her. They took international trips together, and now they’re getting married. 6 months was enough for him to be sure about her, 2 years with me was not. He broke the news of the marriage to me himself, tried to get my reaction to it or something. He is still on dating apps and flirted with me up until last month even after getting serious with her. It made me feel good about my decision to move on from him - he was never going to truly settle.
      I still occasionally see my ex. Coincidentally he started working near where my current office is. But our dynamic has remained casual and hasn’t evolved into anything serious. I’ve mostly made peace with it, realizing that maybe we trigger each other in ways that prevent compatibility. Plus, he’s becoming less attractive to me from a long-term perspective.
      A friend once said that when you’re confused between people, they eventually weed themselves out without you having to do anything. I believe that’s true.
      Recently, I met someone new - a filmmaker. For the first time in years, I felt those intense, fuzzy feelings again. Although his schedule is packed with shoots, I understand the demands of the media industry as a Media lawyer, I understand the business. Meeting him made me realize it’s possible to feel this way again. I’m not sure if he’s "the one," but it gives me hope that I will eventually find the right person. It’s just a matter of time. I hope you do too. Good luck!

    Reading these comments it seems as if people don’t understand that there can be different situations in which falling in love with two people is DEFINITELY POSSIBLE. for example, I fell in love with this boy and man was I head over heels. I never imagined being without him. I still love him to this day. However when things got rocky, he would treat me horribly, and after a while I started to feel very alone and hurt because I wondered why he would do this to me when all I did was love him, and because of this feeling of loneliness I felt I ended up falling in love with another guy who was one of my good friends because he was always there for me. He gave me what my boyfriend did not, love and hope for the future. As time went on I knew the second guy was a better choice but I loved my boyfriend so much I didn’t wanna leave him. Fast forward to today, my decision was to break up with my boyfriend and stay single, until I figure out my feelings I will stay single. I do still love both of them. Yes I know the first boy is obviously a bad choice if he has hurt me multiple times, I don’t know why I love him either

    So…I believe if you are truly in love with someone, there wouldn’t be a second. Listen!
    Before you cuss me out and this is solely my opinion.
    When you are in love, you are completely submerged in that person. In order for me to meet someone and fall in love with them. I’d have to be open to receiving. I don’t believe In love at first sight etc. We can fall in love with someone’s beauty, even inner beauty. How they think, talk, etc. but to truly be in love, you have to truly know the person, in order to make that beautiful and bold claim “ I am in love” that takes time, but Cinderella, music and movies have us believing what love looks like and feels like, that we want to rush and label everything and then after the honeymoon phase , claim “ we fell out of love” or feel crushed when things don’t pan out. I believe you can love people , like I love people, kids, etc but to truly be in love with someone, and meet someone new …that would take a conscious effort on my part to be open to receiving someone else, I would be making conscious decisions on the fact that I want to explore this attraction, I want to be alone with this person, I want to get to know this person. I want to trust this person, confide etc. I am responding to a feeling and intentionally lighting the fire. If I were truly fulfilled and in love…I would not be open to receiving…unless I’m missing something and still searching. I’ve met many amazing men while in my long term relationship …the idea of entertaining someone else is inconceivable. As I attracted, flattered, sometimes did a little switch cause I was feeling myself. I have met gorgeous men at work, same sense of humor , understood me ….but I choose not to respond to those feelings because the door to my heart was not open, I choose to keep it closed because there is someone already in there. My man had my heart, so this emotion I feel is something I will feel many times with different people, and that’s ok! But in order for me to entertain someone AND then fall in love with them? It’s because I had a hand in it.

    Open your minds...love is not necessarily a finite resource. its a little sad to me that people limit themselves so much with this mode of thought and believe that one love cancels out the other. Doesnt seem like a lot of people here are poly either. Being poly works for me personally...however if you do practice monogamy I respect that and yes you do make a choice, but the beleif that being in love with more than one person is a betrayal leads to a lot of unnessary pain, shame and dishonesty.

  • @mistydake2109
    @mistydake2109 5 років тому +6

    There are other circumstances where you can be in love with two people at the same time. A person can fall in love with someone who is unavailable at the time (for whatever reason), try to move on and end up falling in love with someone else, only to have the original love interest resurface with availability and shared feelings. This is the situation I am in.
    I am starting to truly love my current partner, but now the person I have been deeply deeply in love with for 7 years has come back into the picture, available and expressing interest.
    I will not cheat on my current partner, but it is only because I refuse to put myself in a situation where I could be tempted, because I know under the right circumstances I would be fully capable of it. How do you reconcile STILL being deeply love with someone from your past, who is now available to you, and also having fallen in love with someone else during the time the first love was unavailable?

We have chosen the route of radical honesty as feelings developed for an old, dear intimate friend that came back into my life. Having these new conversations with my husband about what we are all comfortable with and going at his pace has increased our intimacy and somehow really improved our marriage. My second love lives across the country, which I am sure helps. We also recently had a very planned out beautiful 3some hehe. I just want to say thank you for actually talking about this subject that I have felt quite alone in. For us, it has become a way to expand our circle of love while getting more needs met and healing from past wounds. I hope sharing my experience can remind someone out there are more options than choosing between 2 people. Enjoy the love while it lasts and see what you can learn about yourself and your loves, it might surprise you.

    I'm sorry but no for anyone in that situation, had u really loved ur man/woman then u wouldn't be involved with another person physically or otherwise to reach as far as falling in love..
    And let's just say ok shit happened and u feel yourself falling that's when u stop! stop communicating with the other person if u REALLY love your partner
    That's just an excuse to have it both ways

      You’re stupid. Only because you’re stuck in a relationship for what ever reason you forget how it is to fall in love. Fuck you @bellasavage you a dumb ass

    How do I choose, I like two people... One of them is in love with me and the other says he "might" like me. But he is making it seem like he really does like me. I said im not ready because I need time to learn to love myself because I don't know how to respond they both asked me out.... Ik I should choose who my heart wants but idk

    My partner of 11 years left me three days later he was in love with a stranger he just met . Past month he’s put all his energy into the new guy and has completely thrown me away . So is that a sign that he has no commitment to me ?? And I must move on ?

    Well, well I guess being open and honest about what one desires in a relationship becomes key. We have swingers (couples by mutual agreement, meeting up to engage intimately). This could be an ongoing arrangement or lasts for as long as both sides wish. of course this requires a certain level of emotional maturity and trust. I've had a chat with people who engage in such and it has worked for them over the years and they say it has strengthened their relationships and marriages, and keeps them excited and the adventure continues. Hmmm..
