At the risk of upsetting those who hate 'Big Brother', I'm going to refer back to the celebrity series last winter.
Those who watched it will know what I am talking about. For those who don't know, here's the scenario:
A number of celebrities ~ some more famous than others ~ of different ages and backgrounds, sealed in a house for three weeks, with cameras on them all the time.
One of the celebrities was a 23 year singer in a band, named Preston. Another 'celebrity', supposedly from a band, was a 22-year-old girl called Chantelle. (She wasn't really a celebrity and she won it in the end.)
Anyway, the story ...
Preston had a live-in girlfriend when he entered 'the house'. They had got as far as discussing babies, but she wasn't yet ready.
Chantelle had had a long term boyfriend but it was over & had ended unhappily. She thought that Preston was attractive but knew that he was off limits.
Preston seems to have been captivated with her from day 1 and being together 24 hours a day for three weeks they grew ever closer.
It became increasingly obvious that they were besotted with each other, but both denied it and claimed to be just friends.
When they left the house, Preston got engaged to his girlfriend, but both he and Chantelle were unhappy and desperate to see each other.
The long and the short of it is that they are now married ~ to each other.
When I watched this I was thinking about the very questions being considered on this thread. Those two were obviously mad about each other, but tried to deny it, because of Preston's partner. Yet she could never have been happy with him again, surely, knowing how close he was to another girl.
I agree that it is possible to love more than one person at a time ~ possibly in different ways ~ but you make a choice and I do feel that should stay true to that choice, but when I look at Chantelle & Preston, there is no way that I think that staying with the other girl would have been right for any of the three of them. It's just sad that someone has to suffer in cases like this.
