But I certainly believe you can love more than one and have a relationship, a long and lasting one at that. There are societies that do it everyday, and even in the beginnings of the USA we had the Native American's that would marry with multiple wives or take a wife (and children) of a brother that had fallen in battle or died.

If that isn't the most selfless love on Earth I don't know what is.
It really just takes the openess to Love and it's potential and possibilities, as far as being able to Love more then one Partner. Actually creating working Multi-Partner Relationship(s) takes work, effort, commitment, excellent Honest open communication skills, and great Time Management skills also.

On the Native American practices re; Family> yes. I am the child of such a child. My GrandFather (on Fathers side) Fathered a child (My Father) for his deceased brother. And then passed unexpectedly himself (from a logging accident). My GrandMother (who was leaving the Reservation after the death of my GrandFather with their children) was asked by my Fathers Mother to take and raise her child as well....which she did.

Ironically years later, my Father and his 1/2 Brother were both in Love with the same woman (my Mother). My Father won her, and I was conceived. They were to be Married when he returned from the navy. Then my Father passed before making it Home when I was 3 weeks old. His half Brother (my Dad) Married my Mother, and raised me as his own
