    Apparently so. There was a documentary on polygamy on TV during the week. Anyone catch it?

    IMO, Infatuated, yes. Love, no.

    Love is a feeling. A powerful feeling. But I don't think it could extend to two people. It's possible, but I never felt it.

    Love proper head over heels love? When you love someone you barely look at anyone else... I don't think you could ever love two people equally.

    +1 It ain't love if you're feeling it for two different people. But you can have really strong feelings for people - more than regular friendship - and confuse it with love IMO, and that can be shared, I think.

    You love your family. You love your mother, and your father. You love your siblings. You love your friends. You love your partner. You also lust after your partner.

    However, as a lot of people in longer-term relationships will attest to, the driving lust doesn't last. It waxes and wanes, but a lot of the time the basic foundation of how you love your partner is with the same closeness as you love the rest of your family.

    It's accepted that you can be attracted to two people at the same time, and yes you can certainly love more than one person - and to me, the difference that is being "in love" with someone as opposed to just loving them - well that's love, with attraction.

    So yes, to me, you can "love" two people at the same time. After a time though, given circumstances, you will probably end up leaning more towards one than the other.
