No need to leave it unexamined, Vincent. Here's an examination:
Here are two beliefs:
1) I believe that we each have a perfect person out there for us. When we meet them, we should stay with them forever.
2) I believe that everyone is capable of falling in and out of love with everyone else, and who we should stay with depends on factors that evolve and change frequently.
Now here's two reactions to a break-up (experience, action):
A) I cannot let them break up with me. At all costs, I must get them back. I start doing whatever I think will get them back.
B) This sucks, I thought we were a great match, but I guess we aren't. I do my best to pursue other options.
My experience indicates that, all else being equal, 1 is more likely to lead to A and 2 is more likely to lead to B.
