Love hurts. . .literally

You ever love someone so much that you struggle to breathe when you think about it? Ever been dumped when you loved someone? It hurts.

The Journal of Neurophysiology shows that the rejected crave love the same way a person craves drugs. It's especially noticed in romantic relationships. When you have it and then it's suddenly taken it away, it becomes an addiction. This could explain the rebound. A person goes from having a strong relationship with love and romance and then it's gone. What do they do? They find someone else to have those feelings with but sometimes they find those feelings with the wrong person.

The recovery process isn't easy. But just with drugs the addiction will go away. Some people can do drugs and feel no real addiction while others can and feel totally addicted. It differs with each person. Feelings of love differ with each person and you have to keep that in mind when you are dating someone and you feel that they feel more or less strong about your relationship.
