Living women cannot be sealed to more than one man.
Can a widow have a sealing to her first husband broken in favor of being sealed to her second husband? I don't know. I've heard anecdotal evidence both ways. But if she really loves both her late husband and her new love interest, it would still be a terrible situation to be in.
It only seems terrible because of your limited knowledge. Once you understand the plan fully you will see how truly wonderful and marvelous it is. The best thing is if you are just married to an ordinary average Joe, and he dies, and a really righteous man moves in on you and marries you, you get to be with him for eternity instead of the average Joe. Imagine if the prophet married you. You would be set for eternity.

Deceased women can be sealed to any husbands they were married to in real life, but I think there are some rules and limitations governing this as well.
My SIL had been married to my BIL for a little over a year when he died in a terrible accident. They had one child. She remarried a couple of years later and went on to have 7 more children. She tried intermittantly to have the first sealing set aside, even going so far as to ask my MIL to write a little to the FP okaying it. My MIL refused to write the letter, and my SIL is still sealed to my BIL, to whom she was married for 1 year, and not to the man she's lived her whole adult life with for 30 years.
It's a terrible thing. But I expect nothing less from a cadre of men with no vision.
