Yes, I believe that you can love more than one person at a time.........but....

Like what Sharni said, there are varying degrees of love, and the definition is different for each person.

Love with committment
Love with lust
Love with friendship
Love with compassion
Love with dependance
Love with acceptance
Love of a child from a parent

Expamples of perhaps the variances, however, we as a society like to believe that all definitions of love should encompass and be included with the life-long committment love.

In my opinion, a person isn't going to love two people the same as they are different. The only connection between the two is yourself.

Can a committed love survive love for another? Don't know.

I do know this, in my perspective, I know that I am unable to love another person as I love Cobalt. And, I am very satisfied with that love. Any other forms of love for anyone else is based on quite different scales. I adjust those scales according to the others. However, that love will never encompass what I have now, and will never endanger it either.......nor diminish the love I have for him.
