Does Achilles really love Briseis?
In the context of the Iliad, Achilles' relationship with Briseis is more about possession and honor rather than love. Achilles values Briseis as a symbolic representation of his status and authority, which is why he reacts so strongly when she is taken from him by Agamemnon. Their relationship is complex and reflects the power dynamics of that society.

Was Achilles in a relationship?
While it is not spelled out exactly in the Illiad that they had an intimate sexual relationship Achilles and Patroclus definitely had an intense LOVE relationship. They slept in the same tent, fought side by side and when Patroclus died it was while fighting in Achilles' armor which he wore to inspire the other Greeks and to avoid dishonor to Achilles -- who was refusing to fight over a silly argument over a slave girl with another warrior. Patroclus's death completely shattered Achilles to the point that he gave most of his belongings away as prizes in the memorial races/combat games etc that he arranged in his honor. THEN, he went and challenged Hector -- the greatest fighter of the Trojans, an act which indirectly caused Achilles death. For details, READ THE BOOK. It's great action. Oh, he was married but their relationships -- often sexual with other men were primary for the Greeks. Despite this they did NOT, repeat NOT, recognize "gay marriage."
