Ok, in a relationaship you can be intimate with only one person. What if there are split personalities? What if you only like one of there personalities and dont like the rest? What if only one of their personalities loves you?Can people with split identities find love?
When you say ';split personalities'; I am going to assume you are talking about a person with dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder). If this is the case, then usually a person with this disorder has several personalities in conjunction with their ';main'; personality. Usually a person develops this disorder when they undergo some sort of major trauma, usually in childhood. It is theorized that the person could not handle the trauma and so their personality ';split'; so only one part of them remembered the trauma, and the other part did not have to deal with it. I would say the relationship could be successful if the person fell in love with the other person's ';main'; personality, and not the supplementary ones. Treatment for dissociative identity disorder tries to reconcile all the personalities into one.Can people with split identities find love?
It is possible. The singlular person would just have to be more tolerant or fall in love with both personalities.
As one who has several personalities.Its hard if all don't like the person.I always start out with everyone in love and then as time goes by one finds something that gets on her nerves and here we go and it just gets worse with time.Its very hard.A solid relationship that lasts is almost impossible with multiple personalities.Someone is not gonna like something about that person and they'll NEVER shut up about it.I have had many relationships.and if you can find someone you can tell and they understand it might help.I never have told any of my lovers.
twice.
that would make a good sitcom. my two wives. sure it can happen, awkward, what if one of em's hitler or a mother in law? that would suck.
it'd be cool if they all had a useful trait, one was a nympho and the other liked to clean (i'll burn in hell).
well ya they can but it really depends on how much the person loves taht personality
Then obviously someone with multiple personalities can find love. Just because someone has more than one personality doesn't limit them when it comes to having the capacity to love. Will someone with multiple personality disorder ever find someone to love them? There are 6 billion people out there, it might take longer than usual, but it can happen. This obviously depends on who the personalities are. If one is a psycho killer there might be a few problems finding someone to love, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility.
I guess the degree of the illness and the ability to have it under control would determine the functioning of a relationship. The person may be split, but there is a real person amongst that illness and that person can fall in love and vice versa. Imagine a situation in which one has fallen in love, married and never had a symptom of the disorder. Then all of a sudden it occurs. If the illness was not taken care of, I would imagine that love or no love, the relationship would be destined to fail. If a person is supportive of their mate and the illness is put under some sort of control (via therapy, meds, etc.) than a loving relationship can continue to survive.
NOW, personally, I have issues with the word love and comparing it to a functioning relationship. I think two people can truly love each other and not function in a relationship, and I think people can think they love each other because they function so well in a relationship. That reality is more so a love of the relationship rather than the person. I also think these type of relationships can last longer than any, without anyone ever being the wiser. Who knows, in my old age (in my late 20s, lol.) I have started to believe that marriage is more about compatibility than love. Who knows.
