That too was 45 years ago. I'm no closer to an answer that I can verbalize. But I do think that although it's wonderful to have someone love you, it's even better when you love someone else. Of course, the best is obvious.

I realized I expressed myself very clumsily this morning, and sounded like a moralist, which I am not. at all. (except for kids, animals, and non consensual, I think everything is fine, yes beppe, you are good with fruits and veggies ).

I believe that a person cannot belong to another. This being my guideline, everything is pretty clear afterwards. FOR MYSELF, I think loving two persons at the same time can happen, but I would not have a relationship with both, and friendship can already be too much. I committed myself to my husband, and FOR ME (again), that is a pretty clear statement. I would be in deep s... if I were to find out one day that I did not love him anymore, so I've kept my fingers crossed those last 20 years, and it seems to work .

For everyone reading this thread : feel free to do as you wish and feel, love is very complicated, I have not yet found exactly how it works.
