Ok so I know I've said this a few times here but Its getting worse. You all know...or most do that I have a boyfriend (who I do love) and I've been with him for over a year now and Its been great...we've only had three or four major falling outs but we didnt end it. Then I took a class in school with a guy who I consider to be my best-friend ( I may not be his) and got really close and now I find myself fighting back certain feelings I have for him and its just messing me up. More than once have I wanted to tell my boyfriend but a part of me is thinking thats the worst possible thing to do. I mean the other day I was playing Call of Duty with my friend and then he said he had to go...and I missed him when he was gone, Sure I miss my boyfriend, but when myfriend was gone...I actually hurt.....I almost cried Call me over dramatic I know...it may not be that Im in love with him...some might think Im too young to fall in love.....but if you have a boyfriend (who I do miss when he's not there btw) is it possible to love not just him alone? can you love another person thats not part of your family at the same time?
there are 3 different types of love~ 1- want to spent the rest of your life with that person 2- that person is your best friend so you love them 3- they're family so it is possible to love more than one person. your boyfriend is the first statement & your friend is the second statement. the reason why you felt hurt when your friend left was because when you were with him you had someone to keep you company so when he left you were alone. you might not love your friend more than as a friend but you think you do. all you need to do is sort out your feelings to see if you really do love your friend as more than a friend. & you're not over dramatic.
It is possible to love more than one person, obviously. If you look at parents, grandparents, siblings, etc, you can see that loving more than one person at a time is possible. However, there are different types of love that we feel for each person that we connect with. Can you say that this is romantic love for this friend, or is a brotherly bond love? Or heck it could be something completely different. What you need to figure out is who is truely best for you? Who do love and care for most? When you figure that out, you'll figure out whether your current boyfriend is the one you want to be with.
