Polyamory

What if your emotions won't let you have a say in the matter? What if you happen to be equally in love with multiple people?

 

Like I said, I couldn't "equally" be in love with multiple people. I'd keep finding myself leaning more towards one specific individual. It's fine for other people, I suppose, but not for me. It's not like I have a problem with Polygamy, I just wouldn't be Polygamous myself.

I think it's hard enough to love one person, let alone two or three or more. Don't get me wrong, if others like being Polygamous that's no problem. I say more power to you. But when I say "I love you" I want that to be a direct statement to a single individual, rather than a general statement to several people.

 

Even if you like one person "more" it's can still be an overwhelming feeling and you can't just forget that the other person or people exist.
What you prefer and reality can be vastly different things in more areas than just love. Feelings and emotions aren't things you can take lightly, juggling them and balancing them is a struggle humans face everyday, regardless of if we're in romantic relationships or not, and what dynamics those relationships hold.

As a side note, though that quote holds some truth in that you should find people to surround yourself who you can care for a great deal for I feel it's not something that fully works in this context, as friendship is something different than romantic interests. It's also something that shouldn't be taken literally to the word. Single out those from the hundreds who to spend your time with yes, but you should surround yourself with those you are close to and build a network of people to care for and in turn rely on.

If what works for you works for you then great, I just wish to point out various viewpoints to consider. There isn't always a clear cut line, and what you want isn't always balanced out by mind over matter.
Every person's experiences are different.
