Do you believe that you can love more than one person at the same time? To be more specific, do you believe you can fall in love with someone else and still have love for the one that got away?

I believe that many people experience this. I believe it is not that uncommon while dating. However, I believe that once you commit to someone and get married, that your love should be focuses on the person you have committed your life to. You may have fond memories, but an active "love" for someone else, is bound to cause problems in a relationship.

There are different kinds of love, so I guess yes.
The problem with being in love with your ex is that it eventually will produce an effect on what you may have with someone currently.
