Is there a limit to the number of times a person can fall in love in their lifetime? Psychologists say no. According to them, there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that people can only experience one or two great loves.

The debate has recently returned after singer Kylie Minogue's confession in her new documentary. She spoke about her relationship with Michael Hutchence, the vocalist of the band INXS, admitting that that relationship left a special mark on her life and that she later sought the same feeling in other relationships, without finding it in the same form.

However, experts emphasize that such experiences do not mean that there is only one true love. According to them, people have the ability to form strong emotional bonds at different stages of life. What changes is the way love is experienced, not the ability to love.

One of the reasons why some relationships remain more vivid in memory is because they are associated with strong emotions or important periods in life. Also, stories that are left unfinished often continue to occupy a place in people's minds for years.

Psychologists point out another phenomenon: idealization of the past. Over time, memory tends to preserve positive moments and fade negative ones. This leads to some ex-partners being perceived as irreplaceable, even when the reality of the relationship was more complex.

Experts point out that a person's emotional needs change throughout life. The person who might be suitable at a young age is not necessarily the one who would fulfill the same needs decades later. Priorities, expectations, and the way relationships are built change.

For this reason, a significant past relationship does not exclude the possibility of another equally strong love in the future. According to psychologists, there is no certain number of great loves that a person can experience. Some relationships leave deep traces, others bring valuable lessons, while some help start a new chapter.

In the end, experts estimate that the question is not how many times we can fall in love in our lifetime, but how many times we are willing to give ourselves the opportunity to create a new relationship.
