I think SSM guy is right, though, some people are capable of loving 2 people at once. The guy who molested me as a kid, for example, said he was in love with me as well as his wife.
Well, your sarcasm made me laugh, but that's certainly not the kind of "love" I meant. Though it well may be true and real, your choice of example is about like saying "most rapists are men", or "most murderers are men". And so, just what would your point be about men?
The woman I knew who was in love with two men at the same time, would not be more easily capable of being a child molester, I don't think! And I wouldn't say it was only because her love for either man was not "true love".
In other words, your example hardly qualifies as an argument about falling in love with two people at the same time. Unless you saying that the child molester who "falls in love" EXCLUSIVELY with his victim is in any way better?!

I'm sure he believed it, and believed he "couldn't help" falling in "love."
You've lost me totally. It seems you're suggesting that someone who has an affair is a potential child molester, or more likely to than someone who "truly loves their wife".
Quote:
Obviously, a person who truly & completely loved his wife would be incapable of hurting her by beginning the process of falling in love with someone else--that takes a purely selfish love.
Yes, a man who loves his wife, and whose wife returns that love, is very unlikely to begin the process of falling in love with someone else.
