It depends on how I’m looking at it. In real life, multiple deep loves are entirely possible. In fiction, otoh, each successive “great love” has a tendency to dilute the narrative power of said great loves.

For me, it’s not an issue of How Real People Love. It’s an issue of How Fiction Works.

Narratives generally fare better if they commit to their story lines. They also tend to fare better if they don’t try to push the same emotional buttons over and over again.

Yep. This.

It's the same buttons being pushed that kill my interest. If the first love was the epic love then the next person has to be something different. There are so many romance tropes. There's no need to recycle the first one.

Well put. I haven't considered it before but of course you become desensitized when exposed to something, so something that "pushes your emotional buttons" the first time just can't "push the same buttons" after a while.
