Why is it wrong to love more than one person?

Title says it all really :)

I'm frankly in love with two people, hell perhaps i'll meet a third woman to steal another chunk of my heart.

I'd want to be with them both - at the same time like some sort of Mormon, not that i'd dare ask that of either of them!

So alas, i had to make a choice some time back - a calculated cold one as i felt my feelings are pretty much equally divided. But why? Anybody know? Society? Culture? Instincts? Morality?

My instincts tell me that society culture and morality CHANGE
My instincts and modest wisdom also tells me it is hard to serve two masters. Such unions would have to be blessed to survive, and so would you lol

Haha, you might have a point their. Though I have managed just that until eventually I found out the real problem - that my conscience is a ass.

My insticts tell me that con/science though a supernatural phenomenon, it is not always easy to deal with

Its not. dont tell them about each other.

Very insightful, but that's the real problem you see - I wont lie and double-time them as unless i got very lucky it would fall apart, crush them both and make my life very miserable, yet in my head and feelings I'm doing just that - not that of course I'm accountable to my feelings? Or are we?

Love is one of the most abused words in our language . Some believe self love is wrong

In the issue of self abuse, let the one with a free hand cast the first stone.

Loving more than one person is not wrong. However, I do think you should think it through, and if you want more than one talk to them about it, although that'd be very hard, especially at the same time.

It's only wrong if you hurt them.

I know exactly how you feel, love is not a special feeling reserved for one person, even if you are in love with them.

I love my girlfriend for specific reasons, and it's totally possible for me to see those qualities in others.

I'm actually more curious now - i wonder if more men feel as i and kevin do, or if it's a balanced view?

Also, as age grows slowly in my youth - I begin to feel that love is a concept, not mystical, perhaps spiritual if that too is not more of a concept than a actual reality. Fundamentally it's chemicals in my mind, chemicals cannot be wrong or right.

Mind i approach this from a entirely atheistic view point and a rather drunk one right now at that.

I'm only 14, but still....I can still comment even if I don't know much about love(-:

It is not wrong to love two people, but I think it is wrong to be with two people.

Age isn't a barrier in any argument or discussion Hannah :)

Britt to your point about marriage i understand completely, it's a system which is primarily routed to be 1:1, one half to the other - I could not ever consider it if i knew in myself that I could actually bare this.

But serving two loves - in all senses is a case of resources and expectations, in reality it's impossible to have the level of devotion that it really requires unless all three understand and respect it.

I guess I look upon this all with dissatisfaction; I can see two worlds of happiness in two beautiful people - I made my choice on one based on longevity, e.g. the girl i chose eventually is a nurse over my very first love who is still unemployed. When I lapse into my first loves company I am faced with what's comfortable and perhaps more importantly comforting, when I stick to my seconds love company I am faced with what's exciting and building.

In any case, it does my nut in. I find myself in despair over this situation but at the same time would not want too change it, in the end I expect I'll do harm to one, or both and to myself. Such is life.

Now i'm writing purely for my own drunken saddened benefit rather than for yours; the reader who probably doesn't care - so i'll cease :)

Wow......so confusing...but i kind of get it :D

The way I see it, if multiple people can make you happy.. you shouldn't have to choose just one. The only reasons why it's one on one is because most people are either greedy or jealous.
