    The answer will depend upon what you mean by "love." Certainly most people who love their spouses also love their children, parents, and close friends. But you would no doubt object that these are different kinds of love.

    But every attachment that goes by the name of "love" is in some ways different in kind from every other such attachment, and so in some sense it will be true that one won't have the very same feelings for any two people at once or even in an entire lifetime. Hope you wouldn't find this an evasion of your question. Perhaps by "love" you mean a kind of attachment that is absolutely exclusive of any others of the same kind. But then the answer to your question obviously follows from the definition of "love" so defined.

    It may be that there is a kind (or are kinds) of love that is (are) completely exclusive, but most kinds of love, obviously, are not exclusive in that way. Romantic love seems to tend to exclusivity--but I think many people have found themselves in a situation where they would honestly claim to love more than one person romantically. One thing for sure, given the way society is configured, such a person's life is likely to become very complicated!
