What If You Fall In Love With Someone Else?

Imagine yourself in this situation: You are in love with someone, even deeply so. It can be your wife or your husband, your lover, your girlfriend or your boyfriend.

Then one day, something hits you, something so awful you can’t even think straight. You fall in love with someone else. What do you do and how does this happen? We all believe in true love and one love, well at least us who are not cynical about life, but pray you are never in such a situation.

I’ve seen it happen many times to seemingly solid couples. They seem madly in love, and like a bomb, that love is is transferred to someone else. It does seem hard to believe and if I only read it in a blog post like this I would be very sceptical. Let’s just for the sake of argument say that it’s a possibility, ok?

The question to you my readers, to anyone is: What would you do? Is it a case of love vs. responsibility? On the one hand you have a duty, a responsibility to the person you have been with and in love with for maybe a very long time. Second of all, would you be honest about it? It is truly a terrifying situation to be in. No matter what you end up hurting yourself or that special someone. If you choose responsibility, will your heart suffer forever? If you choose love, will you have regrets? I don’t have an explanation to why it happens. You are maybe dead set on staying with the person you love right now for the rest of your life, then this happens and you are perhaps angry at yourself for making yourself be in that position, but that’s the thing about love, it’s undeniably magic and inconsistent.

I have a strong opinion about this and that is that truth always come first. No matter what happens you owe it to the person you are with to tell the whole truth. If you don’t it will only get worse. In a way, you are letting it all out there and it might hurt like hell when that message hits him or her over the head. They might decide to fight for you or let you go, but it’s your responsibility to be honest about it. Don’t be caught in the crossfire when the truth comes out and trust me it will hit you like a ton of bricks and ruin everything you might have hoped for.

So what do you choose? I know that after talking about it with the person who is affected the most, the person you are currently with, things might change, you might just change your mind one way or the other. I think that responsibility comes first in this matter, as you have made a lot of promises to the person you are with. He or she is with you because you are the one, or hopefully so. Just because you fall in love with someone else, doesn’t mean that the love you had before suddenly disappears. It is possible to love two people, but unless you are practicing bigamy, I suggest you make a choice and stick with it. The worst you can do is sneak around, that will only bring misery to your life situation and others.

So what would you choose?
