But as in love as I am with Gannon, the thought of walking away from Alden makes me physically sick. I always thought that anyone with multiple partners must not love any of them enough to commit, but now I think I was underestimating the capabilities of the heart. It doesn’t feel like there’s a finite amount of space that I’m trying to split between the two of them. It’s more like my heart is expanding so there’s room for both.
