5 Ways To Avoid Falling In Love With Another Person

Can you be in love with two people? The simple answer… Yes. We’ve seen enough rom-coms throughout the years to know that for sure!

Being in love with two people is entirely possible. It may not be very common, but it is something that happens. There isn’t only enough love inside of you for one person. The same way you love all the members of your family with plenty of room left over, being in love isn’t so different. But, is the love the same?

Monogamy and the majority of society tell us to only be in love with one person and for many of us that works out. But being in love with two people happens. And due to societal norms and our own desires, loving two people often leads to heartbreak, for one or both.

# Ask yourself if you’re truly in love

Love means something different to each and every one of us, but think about these two relationships. Is it really love you’re feeling? Love most often comes with a romantic connection, sexual chemistry, and attraction.

Sexual attraction can often feel so overwhelming we believe it is love when it isn’t. Do you have that balance with both of these people or is one part of love outweighing the others?

# Who are you yourself with?

You could have a wonderful time with both people you love. One could bring out your intellectual side while the other makes you laugh like no one else, but there is one that you feel more at home with.

Instead of looking at their qualities, look at how they make you feel. Who makes you feel the most confident in yourself. Which person makes you feel like you want to be the best version of yoursel

# Does one person distract you from life?

When you love someone, you have probably spent a decent amount of time with them. When you’re with them, do you shut out the rest of the world? Do you ignore your phone and enjoy your time?

This can feel like love, and may even be, but is that really sustainable in the long term? Do you want to spend your life with someone that distracts you from the every day or someone that makes every day annoyances better or even enjoyable?

# Is either person right for you?

Just because you are in love doesn’t mean either person is your person. It can seem wrong not to pick one person when you know you love both, especially if they love you back. But, making a choice between two people you love isn’t about what is right and wrong or fair.

When it comes to love, there really is no right or wrong, but you do need to use common sense occasionally.
