    Hahha Love.... this magical feeling that causes us to take the greatest risk is nothing but a myth. Love does not exist, but attraction and attachment does. Research shows that people who are in love have a imbalance of a neurotransmitter in the brain known as serotonin. This is similar to patients with OCD (obessive compulsive disorder). Passion normally last us long enough for us to conceive and reprodce. Once the child is born passion disappears and attachment takes it place. This happens because of the need to take care of the child. We are seeing a higher rate of divorces nowadays because passion only last about 2-4 years. Most people divorce after the child is born. People stay together because of financial and security reasons. If the partner is unable provide financial security and protection then the female partner ususally leaves. We are seeing this increasing pattern because people are being more indepent due to lifestyle changes in the past 20 plus years. Majority of the time its the woman that files for divorce and not the man. THis didnt happen in the past because divorced was considered unethical and financially, it was a big mistake. Now women can have the income to support themselves and possibly the child. If love is so powerful wouldnt it over power the need for security? the bottom line is that love or attraction/passion is short lived.

    Now this guy knows what he's talking about.

    THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TRUE LOVE guys, it's a fact! It's really all about compatability. This type of imaginary story of happily ever after is only in fiction. You ask people who've actually had a lot of experience with women and they will tell you this... -whistle

    A feeling, a connection between you and another. Nor with your lover or family and friends. Love is but a feeling a person can't really control. If love with a partner, wonder these words.
