He loves Rem equally to Emilia, and Rem herself confessed that she would be fine with "being Subaru's second wife." His feelings for Rem are real, but do not take away from his feelings for Emilia. Subaru basically told Emilia that he wanted both of them shortly after confessing to Emilia, before realizing that Emilia didn't remember who Rem was. This leads into the events just after the end of the anime, where Rem is in a comatose state, but Subaru's feelings for Rem do not change. He does, however, have more time to develop his relationship with Emilia - even if it doesn't progress all that quickly (due both because of his own cowardess, and Emilia's naivety in romance).
