I have multiple intimate, loving relationships at once. I have multiple friends who I love immensely. To me, having multiple play partners isn’t much different from that.

But I think I can only see myself being IN love with one person at a time. Falling in love is such an all-encompassing feeling, I struggle to imagine how someone could feel that for more than one person. For me, being in love means wanting to give my whole self to only that person. That is a different thing altogether from loving someone.

I’ve heard polyamory described as loving more than one person. But I wonder if people feel they are IN love with more than one person? I’m just curious about how poly people experience this. I’m also curious about whether how I feel would be considered more aligned with polyamory or monogamy?
