You don't love them, you just love the attention. Cheating on your boyfriend is bad enough, but to actually be in a relationship with two guys is worse - and you've been seeing five guys at the same time. Honestly, you need to re-evaluate your life. How can you do that to people? You're messing with their lives and they'll probably have trust issues after this which could affect their future relationships quite significantly. I think what you've done is absolutely disgusting. I'm sorry if this sounds quite harsh but you need a reality check here.

That's not love, you like the thrill of a new relationship and starting something new. You're playing with all of their emotions.
Johnny Depp said, "if you love two people at the same time, choose the second, because if you really loved the first one you wouldn't have fallen for the second". Or in your case the 5th.

You can truly only love one person. Saying that you love them all makes no sense. Close your legs long enough to think about the situation you are in. Hopefully, you have half a brain and everyone is using protection. Personally, I'd cut you loose. I hate sloppy seconds.

If you want to date several people, be honest about it.  What you describe doesn't sound like your "boyfriend", but one of the people you date.  I guess we have different definitions of "love".  Deceit isn't much of a foundation for a serious relationship.

Something I've found, is that it really does take all kinds. Not everyone will end up enjoying a life of monogamy. But here's the deal: There are perks that come with monogamy--many of which benefit our many evolutionary desires. Some of these include exclusivity, which means it's nice to know the one you're focusing all your love and attention on focuses all their love and attention on you. There's jealousy. In monogamous relationships, there won't be a real need for jealousy. There's empathy. It's nice to know that you're treating one person the way you enjoy being treated.

But again. Perhaps this monogamous life isn't for everyone. You say you love all five of them? That will really only work if the 5 of them know that you're involved with several people. Or if you can get away with keeping them a secret from each other. (This doesn't always work out according to plan though...)

You don't have a boyfriend, you have a herd of them!  Time to mature up, make some decisions about how your actions effect others.  You say you love all of them, look up the definition of love, you may care for them or lust for them, but true love with five guys isn't possible!

Lying and deceiving has no place in a committed "love" relationship .. I'm thinking you have a lot to learn about love. Sure you may even care for all of these guys but victimizing them with your deceitful ways for to get attention for your own benefit, is not love.  It's selfish, not love. Having multiple partners is not the primary problem here .. It's lying to them that is the problem.

Perhaps you should get your grip on what it takes to truly love someone, and what commitment is about .. Or if you prefer to not commit and have multiple partners .. Then dont try to convince them your relationship is monogamous.
