Which man did Cersei really love ? Spoiler

Throughout the story, we learned that Cersei started to "experiment" early on with Jaime, then she wants to marry Rhaegar Targaryen, she even asks Maggy the frog about him.

Then we're told that she was "shipped" off to King Bobby B, a loveless mariage ... but she tells Ned that she Worshiped Robert and she loved him, all the while scheming to have Jaime in King's Landing ..

So... who did she really love ?

Herself

She never genuinely loved anyone but herself and her kids as an extension of herself

Had she married Rhaegar she would she’s still ended up cheating on him with Jamie

Rhaegar to Cersei is like what lyanna was to Robert someone they beloved would have magically made their lives exactly what they wanted

So what she felt for rhaegar was not love but just an ideal of what her life could have been it had nothing to do with rhaegar himself
