Can science prove that there is long-lasting romantic love?
It can, according to a new study that compared the brains of long-term married and in love individuals with individuals who had recently fallen in love.
The study discovered highly similar brain activity in regions associated with reward, motivation and “wanting” in both sets of couples.
“We found many very clear similarities between those who were in love long term and those who had just fallen madly in love,” said
Psychologist Arthur Aron, who was involved in the research.
These results support theories proposing that there might be specific brain mechanisms by which romantic love is sustained in some long-term relationships.
And, if love DOES NOT last, there is another study that discovered men are more than twice as likely to continue dating a girlfriend who has cheated on them with another woman than one who has cheated with another man. However, women show the opposite pattern: They are more likely to continue dating a man who has had a heterosexual affair than one who has had a homosexual affair.
Interesting, no?

I have been through a betrayal that I thought would break me. It didn't. It made me stronger and more resolute. I am a wiser and a better person in the end. I now know the most important relationship you ever have is with yourself. Be responsible and demand the life you want. No excuses. No playing the role of "victim."
