Juggling between two lovers

There is one thing Gloria learnt about dating more than one guy. 
When she joined campus, she fell in love with a guy who was doing his final year at campus.  He was handsome but a bit taller than her. 

However, she still liked him.  He treated her like a princess and gave her everything that she needed, although he was not working. 
After school, he got a job in one of the banks.  That meant more care because he would buy her each and every nice thing he would come across. 

She never ran out of money and their relationship was moving on smoothly.  She never found any fault with him.  
Although he was not as intimate as he was supposed to be, Gloria did not notice and would never complain.

However, in her third year, Gloria started dating another guy.  Unlike her working boyfriend, that one was very poor and jobless because they were in the same class.

Gloria started going back home with him and they would have meals together.  He even started going to her hostel and at times would sleep over.  With time, Gloria began to notice things about her boyfriend that she used not to, like his being distant.  She also started complaining that he was frequenting her place so much, a thing that would make her friend very uncomfortable.  At times he would come to visit Gloria and she would not give him anything to eat because all that was left was for Gloria’s school boyfriend. 

One day, her banker boyfriend went to visit her and the school boyfriend was in her room.  However, she was lucky that her other friends were also in the room so it was hard for the banker to know that he was her boyfriend. 

Despite all of this, Gloria never thought of walking out of the relationship because she knew that if she walked away, she would remain poor since her boyfriend did not have money.  She would get money from the other one and give it to her school boyfriend.

She though that since her rich boyfriend could not take care of her emotional needs, then she would get someone else to do it for her. 

However, Gloria realised that she was only cheating and hurting herself because she was never comfortable whenever she was with either him or her school boyfriend, thinking that one of them might find out.


Gloria finally made up her mind and decided to drop one of them.  It was the school boyfriend she dropped.  However, all that taught her that she would never date two guys at once because she cannot love them equally.  She only has one heart, that will belong to only one person, not two or more.

  2. That's customary in the mainstream. What if happiness is not excluded to monogamous but also includes those in open relationships? You are right, u can't love two people equally. But can't you love each uniquely? As long as the involved parties are aware, there's nothing wrong with loving two people at the same time.
