That possessive feeling we can't usually get rid of

Break-ups are hard. While you're love birds kissing and squeezing each other, both parts involved on the relationship develop this feeling of possession over their couple, so seeing them with someone else –romantically speaking, obviously– becomes painful and heart-breaking.

Everyone knows it is not nice to see your beloved one hooking up with not you. What no one seems to realize is that this possessive feeling exists in every –relatively– long lasting relationship, even in the ones where the involved people are not really in love.

The thing with books like Twilight or romantic comedies like Awkward is that they make you believe Bella and Jenna are madly in love with two guys at the same time, when actually it's all about that possessive feeling along with the attraction these guys radiate.

That being said, I'm not sure if a person can actually be in love with two or more people at the same time or it's just a confussion between the real feeling of love and the sexual attraction anyone can feel towards anyone, so… what are your thoughts?
