Re: Can you love more than one person? I can't.

Immaturity would be insisting that people can't love more than one person at a time, that they are wrong or just 'not in love' or 'not in love enough', or any other similar bullshit.

But here, while you may not understand how are why, you are trying to, and you do realize that just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. That's actually a pretty mature standpoint to take, from some perspectives.

I'm aromantic so I can't really grasp falling in love with anybody, but I can absolutely respect that most people do. I do have very strong, deep friendships with people, usually more than one at a time, and I do currently have a boyfriend (who is well aware that I am aromantic), and for a variety of reasons we are not exclusive, and part of that is just trying to 'contain' sentiment to only one person is uncomfortable - even if that sentiment isn't necessarily romantic.

Thanks for your reply and reassurance, it's interesting to hear other people's experiences that are vastly different from mine. It makes me realize how sadly inadequate is the representation of the various kinds of relationships that can exist between people in the popular media.
