I saw a documentary that stated we dont actually "love" other people... we become addicted to the "feel good high" drugs (peptides) our brain produces.
Also every now and then, no matter what our 'relationship status' is, we meet someone who invokes that specific chemical response we have labeled as "love", or "crush" whatever.... but we've trained ourselves through social conditioning either not to act, or suppress the natural instinctive urges the rush of peptides produces. Like when you meet you buddies hot GF who ends up getting along better with / liking you.. but both pretend its not there. Sometime people do act though, but we've labeled that as "cheating" and un cool.
Being "broken hearted" is little more than peptide withdraws, the emotional roller coaster is the 'suffering'... which is why gettin trim on the re-bound is that much more satisfying, the rush of peptides comes back.
It was called "What the oscar# do we know" or somesuch on Sundance ch I think.
