My home boy told me his biggest secret today. He has a two week old relationship with another girl. The first thing I did was arm slap him silly and after I was partially done he said I should hear him out.
So he goes on to say how he likes the presence of the new girl and how she makes him feel alive again. He asks me after if it was possible for someone to love two people at a time. I find this question very distasteful and this would be the second time I was posted a question of such manner from, such a surprise, the same gender.
I told him my honest opinion, that he's screwing up he's four year relationship for some cheap slut (I have my reasons for proclaiming her so) so that he could feel alive again. The way I see it, the misguided expectation of love, that it will always make your heart skip a beat or give you butterflies, has to be abolished. Like any other thing in our lives, things change and grow. You may not get the same kinda feeling you did for the person after years of being with them but you grow into a force that is too strong to stay apart from. Love manifests itself into something more that attraction.
Adding to that, I do not believe that the heart has the ability to share love. You cannot love two people at one time you either love one more than the other. If you love the girl be with her wholeheartedly else put her out of her misery and let her go. The way I see it, it's better to let go knowing the pain you created is for the betterment of both parties involved, rather than hang on to something you already know is failing. It's whether you're man enough to inflict the pain. but hey if you're not, at least you know one thing's for sure, misery does love company.
